Ah yes, creating a list of minority populations is always a good sign and not representative of a nation committing systematic genocide of said group

People are going after this boxer because she previously was disqualified from a tournament in 2023 for failing their "sex test" because she has high levels of testosterone. Notably I believe the international boxing association ran this tournament, an organization the IOC has cut ties with. I don't know if there is a confirmed reason for her high T levels but it could be due to many genetic factors

Either Dmitry Medvedev or Daniil Medvedev (tennis player) have to change their name because this isn't the first time I've thought a tennis player was calling for war

This genuinely might be more of a PR blow to Israel than if they just got kicked out initially

Canada is having difficulty hiring diplomats to work in the United States as unions cite increased violence and lack of access to medical care in the United States as reasons for why diplomats are choosing to take posts in other countries and avoiding working in the Great Satan

The Canadian government has arrested Tarek Loubani, a doctor who was previously arrested by Egypt in 2013 for attempting to enter Gaza to provide aid, and in 2018 was shot in both legs by the IOF. He was arrested for...spraying ketchup on the wall outside of a Pro-Israel MPs office. What a joke of a country

I don't know if this was already mentioned or if it got lost in the shuffle of all the other news going on, but on October 10th a deal for the creation of the new Slovak government was announced. The deal includes the 2 Social Democratic parties SMER-SD and HLAS-SD which as you may remember supported lowering Slovakian commitments to Ukraine and opposed the current western consensus on the war. To form government though the parties have formed a coalition with SNS, a neo-fascist party that has praised Nazi aligned leader Josef Tiso and advocated for the killings of Roma and Hungarians in Slovakia. Once again we see that Social Democrats are the left wing of fascism

Sorry for posting more about but the representative that I mentioned yesterday who was being censured by the government for supporting Palestine is now serving the premier of Ontario with a cease and desist and the premier claimed the rep is

And redditors are clamouring about how suing the premier is a bad political move and an example of how the left supports antisemitism. They actually can't understand someone having beliefs outside of political maneuvering and supporting whatever is convenient at the moment

Trudeau says he is not ready to accept US and Israeli claims that a Palestinian group was responsible for the hospital attack

Cmon now's the time make a statement supporting Palestine, make your dad proud

Also he could make this his moment to piss off the USA like his other dad Pierre did with Cuba

Just last week the media in Canada was talking about how the Conservative Party had a new base of support in Muslim immigrants as they both opposed inclusion of LGBT issues in education. (How much of this support was real versus manufactured by the media I can't say). This led to a lot of liberals showing their true colours, dehumanising and insulting Muslims in Canada. But now with the Palestine conflict coming front and centre in the media cycle, I wonder if the inherent split between the Conservatives' interests and their supposed base of Muslim support has become apparent faster than expected. While many conservatives never stopped being xenophobic I think pundits were hoping they could keep it on the down low until the next election. However with many Canadians publically making calls for genocide in Palestine, that ship has sailed

I like that this thread and the other megathread don't seem to get much traffic from other instances. It's refreshing to come in here and read conversations about world news without having to argue with random libs

From reading through that thread it looks like lemmy.ca and the pawb one (I forget the URL) have already defederated from us lol
