“The most sacred duty of any government is to provide for the security of its citizens. No government could let these obscenities go unpunished and retain the trust of its people,” Former PM Brian Mulroney nationalpost.com/news/canada/br…
@LindaFrum @davidfrum How does Israel’s campaign of vengeance and retribution against the helpless that indiscriminately punishes the innocent “provide for the security of its citizens”? The Netanyahu government has already deservedly forfeited the trust of its people.
@LindaFrum Prove the Israelis didn't plan and orchestrate the whole thing themselves as a pretext for cleansing Gaza. All the evidence is now pointing that way.
@LindaFrum @davidfrum That is the same arguments #Apartheid white settlers #SouthAfrica used against the #ANC and #NelsonMandela that he so dedicatedly defended and supported. I understand that the former prime minister of #Canada is aging and that consistency and memories are no more functional.
@LindaFrum I guess you didn't read "On The Take" before referring to that old crook.
@LindaFrum So by that logic, Hamas is doing the right thing, too. They're just protecting their citizens. Clinging to the "Israel has the right to defend itself" narrative after it has killed 10,000+ Palestinian civilians - including 4400+ kids - is reprehensible. 🇵🇸
@LindaFrum Profound. And absolutely correct.
