Church and State conspired to erase Aboriginal culture in Canada.  This is fact, not fiction, not spin, not rhetoric.  If you believe that the well-equipped police forces across Canada have no record of hundreds of missing children and women then you might need to have informed and courageous people on the city streets across Canada to keep you safe from the police and the hypocritical institutions of government and religion.  What is the price that people have to pay to be safe and exercise their charter rights?  I cannot wrap my mind around Canadian waffling at the United Nations on the massacre of Palestinians by Israel, and the repeated cracking down on and the demonizing of pro-Palestinian protest in Canada are sickening, no matter what noble sentiments come from the mildly incensed pundits and security experts.  A violent and racist Israel, the tyrannical Arab and Islamic states have nothing to tell Canadians about their commitment to the rights in the Canadian Charter.  All of you who want to live in a state where the state puts up walls between men and women, where the state rips up international law because it does not fit your tribal view of the world, are paving the way to untold misery and irreversible judgment.

Due diligence and “never again”

Massacres in Gaza and Lebanon will not erase the failure of Israeli security.  Seizing on the horrific murder and kidnapping of Israeli citizens by Hamas the Israeli government has launched a vicious annihilation campaign. The law demands a two-state solution but progress towards that is on and off like night and day.  For a people who have been face to face with God Israeli darkness is too thick to prevent accidents and negligence. Just think for a moment about the effect on an informed Christian who hears of an attempt to bring to nothing a sector of society seen as a mortal threat. To whom does “never again” apply?

GAFF and a host of bad actors

Grief, anger, fear and folly are common bedfellows.   Each is common on its own, and when they come together they bring humanity to the brink of the pit.  Keeping anyone safe involves transparent accountability for undertakings like security, retaliation and rebuilding.  Neither Israel nor the Hamas cowards who murder innocent people are capable of caring like mothers and fathers do.  Forgive me for thinking that politicians need to care for the people in their care like they are members of one family.  Canadians are not so naive as to bow down to complicity with Israeli lies about innocent lives.  The International Criminal Court knows that vigilante violence is a prominent tool in the Israeli policy of militarizing the Occupied Territories, and therefore the fear of endless war and discrimination that haunts Israeli and Palestinian families will not be pushed to the side.  Canadians should watch carefully the actions of their governments and make it abundantly clear that protest will never cease to be the means of shining a light on bad actors like – who came first? – Hamas, Arab and Islamic  hate for Israel.  The gaff Lord Balfour and the British government are guilty of forcing on the Levant is still a bad smell and none of the typical human solutions is capable of keeping Israelis and Palestinians safe.
