Canada sanctions FOUR INDIVIDUAL SETTLERS in usual performative bullshit move

Fixed that headline (and article) for ya...

Yea what are even the implications of being individually "sanctioned"? They can't travel to Canada now??

Cost for the taxpayer and a government worker named Sharon justifying her paycheck and patting herself on the back, after her team of six spent 3 weeks working out the details. I'm sure the office events committee organised cake and the afternoon off.

(Yes, I've had to do consulting work with federal governments before and it's like this)

While I agree with the sentiment wholeheartedly, it’s something

No, it really isn't. It's a diversion to stop people asking for more action.

Yes it very well could be, absolutely. They could build on it though. I’m not holding my breath

Israel as a whole should be sanctionned. Settlers are terrible but they are not who is commiting genocide, it's the IDF

Not just the IDF. The entire government of Israel is complicit.

While the Israeli police and soldiers protect the settlers.
