Just so we're clear, and for the people in the back who may not be keeping up with the evolving language of modern day warfare, we're all human shields now.
You, your pregnant daughter, your newborn grandchild.
Healthcare workers, sales clerks, business owners, school children, their teachers, the principal.
Journalists. Of course, they're not so much human shields as being targeted for murder, aren't they. Murdered by snipers.
Foreign mercenaries? Who knows. Anything goes in war now. Bibi doesn't want to go to prison where he's belonged for at least a decade.
Two? Three? He and his wife are well-documented crooks. Hence why he's trying to over-ride the judiciary, turn Israel into Russia.
I guess the settlers would feel more at home if he did.
Israelis are demonstrating in their streets against his government and the war crime it's perpetrating in Gaza. Why are you supporting it? Because Postmedia tells you to?
It supports the odious bigot and misogynist Pierre Poilievre. Are you an odious bigot and misogynist too?
I wouldn't feel too smug, you know, watching other civilians being slaughtered halfway across the world from the comfort of your suburban Canadian pile, pretending it couldn't happen here. The Freedom Convoy embedded itself in a residential neighbourhood right here in downtown Ottawa, with public support from His Majesty's Loyal Opposition, currently riding high in the polls, while they proceeded to terrorize the local population.
New moms, their newborns, pets, palliative care patients, school children, women shopping for groceries - especially if they were wearing hijabs - anybody wearing a mask to protect each other from the deadly virus the Freedom Convoy actively prolonged, unhoused people - from whom they stole food - minimum wage workers - especially if they were Asian - city councillors - they went to the home of one and threatened his young family - Liberal and New Democrat politicians and their staff.
Civilians. They attacked civilians. Us. Me. You.
It was terrifying. People here have PTSD now. It's a fact. I ended up lying on the bathroom floor for hours, having to purge every bit of food from my body, the result of having lived for three weeks with a fight/fight/freeze response on high alert.
It was all public, not that you'd know what "it" was if you only read Postmedia, its official propagandist. Blatant criminality. No law and order. The Ottawa Police Service either unwilling, due to complicity, or unable, due to being outgunned, to enforce the law. Hell's Angels from Quebec, neo-Nazis from Alberta, Christo-Fascists from coast to coast to coast.
They had cranes and nooses and using megaphones in our public streets, which they had taken over, demanded Justin Trudeau's head, while broadcasting threats of violent insurrection all over the internet.
Like I keep pointing out, the Freedom Convoy waved lots of flags, but not one of them was Ukrainian. And no sooner had the mercenaries - because the lot of them were thugs-for-hire when CERB ran out - finally been allowed to leave, not a scratch on any of them in spite of three weeks of public, blatant criminality, dumping buckets of their feces on the doorsteps of local aid agencies on their way out, than Putin, their ideological leader, invaded Ukraine.
They love Putin. It's the Christo-Fascism. He speaks their language, the same language spoken by the odious bigot and misogynist Pierre Poilievre they wanted to install as Prime Minister of Canada, once they'd taken out the democratically elected one, and still do. He's their choice. They're neo-Nazis and Christo-Fascists and bikers and Diagolon Accelerationists and Putin-lovers.
And Pierre Poilievre is their pick for PM.
The walls are closing in on Trump, another Putin Puppet and the likely Republican Party nominee for POTUS - again - and we're being sucked into his buddy, Netanyahu's, war against Hamas, the Islamic terrorists he funded and helped elevate to power over the very Palestinian children he's currently slaughtering with a free pass from the rest of us because they're not children, they're human shields.
Gaza is the most densely populated place on earth and Netanyahu is levelling it to stay out of prison.
Just so we're clear on where we're at now in modern warfare.
