Off topic but:
Nobody gets a free pass from me. I criticize all human rights violations, unlike our government which criticizes some and supports others.
Not like Iran or Palestine anything like that.
Iran leaders have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity? Please enlighten me....
I am aware of these human rights violations and cruelty:
http://thereport.amnesty.org/sites/default/files/AIR2010_AZ_EN.pdf#page=119 But I see nothing here which could be described as a war crime or crime against humanity. I see barbaric cruelty, discrimination, oppression, torture, ill treatment, show trials and the death penalty... but nothing that would fit the definition of "war crime" or "crime against humanity". You'd have to go back more than 20 years to the purges of the early years of the revolution to find incidents which might be described as "crimes against humanity".
Currently Palestinians are divided. In the West bank they are ruled by a US and Israeli installed and supported dictator known as Mahmoud Abbas, even though Hamas won free and fair elections. Hamas rules the Gaza. Hamas leaders have committed war crimes or at a minimum they authorized them. Both the Palestinian dictator Abbas (Fatah) and the democratically elected Hamas are guilty of torture, assassinations and summary execution resulting from a simmering civil war and internecine warfare. Despite Israeli and American support for the cruel dictator Abbas in the form of cash and arms, Hamas has managed to cling to power in Gaza, where they cruelly persecute their rivals. In the West Bank, dictator Abbas cruelly persecutes his rivals. In the middle are the Palestinian civilians who are cruelly persecuted by Abbas (Fatah), Hamas and the Israeli occupiers. Palestinian civilians in Gaza also suffer a cruel Israeli humanitarian aid blockade which interferes with international food and medical aid which clearly meets the definition of a crime against humanity.
Currently the Canadian government treats Hamas as a terrorist organization (fair enough), supports Abbas despite his crimes and unshakably supports Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity.
IMO Canada should condemn all oppression, injustice, war crimes and crimes against humanity.... I disagree with CB, the Canadian government and other Israeli apologists who support Israel's war crimes and crimes against humanity. Some people on this forum try unsuccessfully to slander me and other Israeli critics with anti-Semitic labels in order to suppress legitimate criticism of Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity. I refuse to be silenced or intimidated by their trolling and bullying. The lesson I learned from the holocaust is that everyone who is aware of atrocities and remains silent are part of the problem.
Back on subject. Recent events in Egypt exposed who does and doesn't support freedom and democracy. Prime Minister Harper bent to the will of the Israeli lobby and sided with the cruel Egyptian dictator against Egyptian people. I hope people remember this come election day. Harper must never get a majority government or he will screw us. BTW, Harper was supported the US unprovoked war in Iraq. (war crime). Thankfully he was the leader of the opposition at the time, otherwise Canadian soldiers would be fighting and dying in Iraq as well as Afghanistan.
