    i wish there was a link to this article/story because it’s confusing; why do canadians have to server the idf? or did they join of their own accord like hemmingway did in spain?

      A LOT of Israelis are dual-nationals. That’s because all you need to do to move to Israel is be Jewish and then you have “”“”“right of “return””“”“” and they’ll even give you a nice boost to help settle and colonize and displace Palestinians.

        i guess it’s confusing because my own dual nationality status doesn’t include mandatory military service; but i guess it does if one of your countries enjoys doing genocides themselves.

        also: i always had this impression of aanadians being better global citizens than americans and it’s sad to learn that they’re not.

          The only reason Canada has the appearance of being better global citizens is because they’re right next to the fourth reich and look good in comparison. As soon as you look deeper the facade falls away and it’s clear the Canadian state is just a cover for a handful of resource extraction corporations ravaging the global south

        thank you!

        “I was supposed to go to Canada last week,” N. told The Times of Israel in July. “But after the investigation was announced, I felt afraid to go home.”

        oic, it’s dual citizenship and fascinating that he considers canada to be his home, but fought for another country nonetheless.

        Tensions between Jerusalem and Ottawa have also escalated in recent months. In May, Canada joined the United Kingdom and France in threatening “concrete actions” if Israel refused to stop the war in Gaza and allow in more aid.

        and sad to learn that the canadians are just as onboard with the genocide as the french and british.

        “What’s most upsetting is that they could be investigating me as if we’re the same as Hamas or other terror organizations,” he said. “It hurts. It feels like a betrayal.”

        and another sad reminder that canadians are not much different than americans in this respect.
