@Kjell_Anderson:
Canada is once again saying, via our foreign minister @AnitaAnandMP, that international law does not apply to Israel. It is free to attack its neigbours, to kill civilians, and to exterminate Palestinians because… “self defence”.
@AnitaAnandMP:
Thank you Foreign Minister @gidonsaar for the conversation this evening. As we discussed, Canada firmly supports Israel’s right to defend itself in the face of Iranian attacks. Thank you to the brave firefighters who helped a Canadian embassy staff member in a building that was struck by a missile in Tel-Aviv. She was eventually rescued, along with other occupants of the building, and is safe and sound.
@faisalkutty Jun 15:
Minister @AnitaAnandMP, this selective concern is as dangerous as it is revealing.
You thank Israeli officials and reaffirm support for “Israel’s right to defend itself” — yet say nothing about the Israeli warplanes that illegally bombed Iran, killing civilians and assassinating officials in a foreign capital. That’s what started this.
You speak of one Canadian rescued from rubble in Tel Aviv — but ignore the thousands of Palestinians buried under it in Gaza by those same Israeli bombs Canada continues to arm.
This isn’t diplomacy. It’s complicity.
Canada must stop shielding war crimes and start defending international law — equally, and without exception.
@SusanneDeb:
Change the perspective Ms Anand, Israel is committing war crimes and genocide.
Stop the support to Netanyahu and the IDF; you make us all complicit in genocide.
@EnglerYves:
I support the Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians & Iranians right to defend themselves
@aliceseba:
If Israel hasn’t attacked without any justification, they wouldn’t have needed to defend themselves. Don’t the deadly lies you tell keep you awake at night?
@1800ghostman:
Don’t know what I was expecting but I probably wasn’t something THIS evil because it’s basically “Canadian PM: we unequivocally support the right of Israel to kill civilians and destabilize the world”
@redsnoopy69:
Israel is the country with nuclear weapons.
Israel is the country that has been attacking its neighbors with missiles.
Israel is the country committing a genocide.
Why don’t these facts cause grave concern?
Did Israel have an intelligence failure or an intentional miss?
What they do have now is complete carte blanche from Western nations.
Benjamin Netanyahu gets his unconditional war.
@ecomarxi:
It’s important to remember that the world is hurtling towards WWIII because the West decided Israel should be allowed to commit a Palestinian Holocaust and then mobilised all of their might to supply and enable it. Those same nations urging restraint now is pure pantomime.
Courage is made in Palestine
Cowardice is made in Israel
Zionism is an almost perfect reincarnation of Nazism — right down to the outlandish claim that it alone is defending Western civilisation
“Our country is being invaded by foreigners”
— Guy who supports bombing half the Middle East
“Being mean to Zionists while they commit genocide is against our rules”
— The ‘free speech’ social media app, apparently
The sheer arrogance of the only nation on Earth that has used nukes on civilians, allowing its genocidal apartheid colony to unquestionably have nukes, then tirelessly threatening all of that colony’s neighbours to never produce nukes under threat of war
I can’t fucking believe it’s 2025 and the West is still lying to the world about why it needs to bomb the Middle East. This is like Groundhog Day in a Hell governed by clown.
There is a very good chance the US government is going to help Israel murder some Americans to convince the rest to want to go to war with Iran
When I say the biggest threat to US citizens is Israel and the US government I am being deadly serious
@ecomarxi:
Tom Cotton is paid by Israel to peddle propaganda to gullible US citizens on behalf of a foreign government.
There are no nukes, there never were, it’s all a lie to defend Israel from a war it started, using US money and risking American lives.
Tom Cotton is a traitor.
Carney, Arnand et al too.
@Stev725:
$1.1M is a scandalous amount of money to receive as donations on behalf of a foreign nation. It may be legal, but it’s certainly not ethical and it’s hard to believe the Senator is truly acting in the interests of the people who voted for him.

@caitoz:
I have never in my life been more worried about a coming false flag attack than I am right now. There are powers who will easily have the means, motive and opportunity to pull off such an operation in order to drum up support for the US entering Israel’s war.
@amirattaran.bsky.social:
Carney’s lost the plot.
Israel has nukes, Iran does not.
Israel is genociding, Iran is not.
But Iran is the “cause of grave concern”? Do please explain,
@mark-carney.bsky.social
This is straight up racism and Islamophobia from the Prime Minister. No other explanation makes sense.
I am disgusted with Carney; the honeymoon ends right NOW.
Because he sounds exactly like Poilievre speaking of Israel’s “right to defend itself”, and not Iran’s when it was Israel that launched the first strike.

@leilanifarha:
PM Carney, I suggest you listen and learn, from an elder with far more political experience and knowledge than you, the former UK Ambassador to Iran. His CV: Sir Richard John Dalton KCMG is a former senior member of the British Diplomatic Service. His assignments included British Ambassador to Libya and Iran. He retired from the Diplomatic Service in 2006. He is currently an Associate Fellow at Chatham House’s Middle East and North Africa Programme.
@LBC:
‘This is an illegal aggression.’
The former ambassador to Iran, Richard Dalton, claims Israel’s strikes on the country are ‘in breach of every legal requirement for a pre-emptive attack’.
@CouncillorJamal:
Sir Dalton, have you not heard that our politicians are of the belief that international law does not apply to Israel?
@TomPark1n:
Trump could’ve written this. I didn’t have high expectations for Carney, but he’s turning out to be absolute fascist handmaiden
@mbueckert:
Carney would have joined the Iraq warHe’s Harper (I bet Steve Harper was his clone). Killing machines make money; Carney is a genocidaire. Hideous human and a gross liar, in my view.
@AbbyMartin:
Israel has assassinated scientists in Iran for years while media justified it by lying about Iran’s nuclear program. US-Israel are the nuclear-armed aggressors trying to provoke war. Iran has the right to defend itself, but has shown enormous restraint so far. Whatever horrors ensue, the United States is to blame for holding the world hostage and plunging us into the abyss
@MariamBarghouti:
Not only did Israel attack Iran,
Now they have put the entire West Bank on lockdown, declaring the entire West Bank a closed military zone.
All of this while Israel continues the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza and the denial of any aid to enter.
What a warmongering fascist regime.
@ZoeDodd:
Iran is not a threat. I knew Carney would be terrible, however he’s even worse than I think we all thought.
@KashifMD:
Does Iran have the right to defend itself? Or is that right exclusive to Israel?
@ScotianDoomer:
The sheer arrogance and cynicism. I voted for you, BUT NOT FOR THIS!
@colinabwallace:
Israel continues to assassinate foreign politicians as they always have (including using fake Canadian passports in the past, endangering real Canadians). They didn’t just go after the Iranian nuclear program. They targeted and murdered another country’s leadership. Unacceptable.
@dimitrilascaris:
You’re a former law professor. As such, you must grasp that Israel’s attack on Iran violated the UN Charter and was a flagrant act of aggression in violation of international law. Why have you not condemned Israel’s aggression?
@aliceseba:
I’m quite sure most Canadians also condemned Israel’s attack on Iran yesterday. But here you are, as our representative, sharing your feigned outrage mid-story and condemning the party that DOESN’T even have nuclear weapon, while the one you provide cover for has nuclear weapons
@AnitaAnandMP June 13, 2025:
Canada condemns Iran’s attack on Israel, and urges restraint on both sides. Further actions can cause devastating consequences for the broader region.
The U.S.-Iran negotiations represent the best path to achieving a lasting and peaceful resolution to Iran’s nuclear program. Diplomatic engagement remains essential to ensuring long-term regional stability and international security.
The world doesn’t deserve security after cheering or silently watching Israel’s genocide and or financing/helping Israel mass murder innocents and steal lands, farms, water, oil and gas
Iran cannot obtain nuclear weapons. Iran’s continued efforts to pursue nuclear weapons, support for terrorists, and direct attacks on civilian centres embody Iran’s persistent threat to regional stability and to Israel, which has the right to defend itself.Fuck our politicans are nasty lying genocidiares. Why can’t Iran have nukes? Fucking insane genocidal untrustworthy criminal Israel and USA do? if they can, so can Iran. How much money does the Zionist genocide lobby put into your private bank account Ms. Anand to spew lies enabling Israel’s genocide? FFS
Canadians in the region are encouraged to remain vigilant and to register with the embassy in order to receive timely updates.
@ClaytonBurnsPhD:
Anita needs to take up another profession.
“Dirtball Canada” was not in the cards. There is no mandate for genocide support.
Treachery during negotiations: Iran has every right to fight back.
@msohailkhann:
IRAN has right to defend.
@cherylbenson:
You have sided with the Zionist Nazis who are carrying out a genocide in Palestine with the their Final Solution. Israel bomb Iran first, so Stop lying Israel strike attack was against International Law and Iran doesn’t have Nukes and Israel has over 500 Nukes and we’re done with mad dog racist land thieving genocidal Israel long ago and we’re done with YOU and the racist @liberal_party supporting Israel and terrorist USA and their absolutely disgusting genocide
@SusanneDeb:
Grab a clue @AnitaAnandMP
it was Israel that attacked Iran backed by Trump. I hate our govs standing with Israel, they are committing genocide. Stop with the smoke and mirrors. We want truth and facts.
@melanie_needham:
Israel attacked Iran first. Israel is also starving and bombing Palestinians non stop. Israel is the trouble maker. Canada is Complicit.
@TRyanGregory:
JFC
Well, looks like it’s WW3.
@CJPME:
There you have it. Canada supports Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iran, a blatant violation of the UN Charter & crime of aggression. Instead of pushing for de-escalation, Carney is enabling Israel’s genocidal leadership as they drag the region further into hell. What a disgrace.
@S_Ordibehesht:
These monsters have a penchant for killing children, if not in Gaza, then in Iran!
@MarkJCarney:
Iran’s nuclear program has long been a cause of grave concern, and its missile attacks across Israel threaten regional peace.
Today, I convened our National Security Council to receive an update on the situation and to ensure that all necessary steps will be taken to protect our nationals and our diplomatic missions in the region.
Canada reaffirms Israel’s right to defend itself and to ensure its security. We call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint and move towards a diplomatic resolution.

@aliceseba
I’ve never seen a Prime Minister become such a disgrace in such a short
period of time. This is a calculated manipulation by the Canadian
government that pretends to protect our citizens, but continues to provide
cover for our genocidal “ally”.
Interesting that this comes after Israel attacked and Iran retaliated, so
you can pretend this escalation was a simple matter of self defence for
Israel. You should also be concerned that our purported ally, who is
illegally occupying several groups (according to courts) and committing
genocide (according to just about every human rights organization) has
ACTUAL nuclear weapons. This is a threat to our citizens and staff of
diplomatic missions in the area, but you pretend it doesn’t exist.

@EdbieLigerSmith:

Caitlin Johnstone@caitoz:
Refresher on the rules for discussing Israeli wars:
Rule 1: Israel is never the aggressor. If Israel attacks someone it’s either a response to an aggression that happened in the past, or a preemptive attack to thwart an imminent aggression in the future.
Rule 2: History automatically restarts at the date of the last act of aggression against Israel. If someone attacks Israel it was completely unprovoked, because nothing happened before the attack on Israel.
Rule 3: Anything bad that Israel does is justified by Rule 2. This is true even if it does things that would be considered completely unjustifiable if it were done by a nation like Russia or China.
Rule 4: Israel has a right to defend itself, but nobody else does.
Rule 5: Israel never bombs civilians, it bombs Bad Guys. If shocking numbers of civilians die it’s because they were actually Bad Guys, or because Bad Guys killed them, or because a Bad Guy stood too close to them. If none of those reasons apply then it’s for some other mysterious reason we are still waiting for the IDF to investigate.
Rule 6: Criticizing anything Israel does means you hate Jewish people. There is no other possible reason for anyone to oppose acts of mass military slaughter besides a seething, obsessive hatred for a small Abrahamic faith.
Rule 7: Nothing Israel does is ever as bad as the hateful criticisms described in Rule 6. Criticisms of Israel’s actions are always worse than Israel’s actions themselves, because those critics hate Jews and wish to commit another Holocaust. Preventing this must consume 100 percent of our political energy and attention.
Rule 8: Israelis are only ever the victims and never the victimizers. If Israelis kill Iranians, it’s because the Iranians hate Jews. If Iranians kill Israelis, it’s because the Iranians hate Jews. Israel is an innocent little lamb that just wants to mind its own business in peace.
Rule 9: The fact that Israel is literally always in a state of war with its neighbors and with displaced indigenous populations must be interpreted as proof that Rule 8 is true instead of proof that Rule 8 is ridiculous nonsense.
Rule 10: Muslim lives are much, much less important to us than western lives or Israeli lives. Nobody is allowed to think too hard about why this might be.
Rule 11: The media always tell the truth about Israel and its various conflicts. If you doubt this then you are likely in violation of Rule 6.
Rule 12: Unsubstantiated claims which portray Israel’s enemies in a negative light may be reported as factual news stories without any fact checking or qualifications, while extensively evidenced records of Israeli criminality must be reported on with extreme skepticism and doubtful qualifiers like “Hezbollah says” or “according to the Hamas-run health ministry”. This is important to do because otherwise you might get accused of being a propagandist.
Rule 13: Israel must continue to exist in its current iteration no matter what it costs or how many people need to die. There is no need to present any logically or morally grounded reasons why this is the case. If you dispute this then you are likely in violation of Rule 6.
Rule 14: The US government has never lied about anything ever, and is always on the right side of every conflict.
Rule 15: Israel is the last bastion of freedom and democracy in the middle east and therefore must be defended, no matter how many journalists it has to assassinate, no matter how many press institutions it needs to shut down, no matter how many protests its supporters need to dismantle, no matter how much free speech it needs to eliminate, no matter how many civil rights its western backers need to erase, and no matter how many elections its lobbyists need to buy.
@KyleKulinski:
This is psychological warfare from these AIPAC controlled freaks. HUNDREDS of US politicians “praying for Israel” immediately after Israel launches an illegal war of aggression against a country that didn’t attack them. Not a single politician is praying for the people THAT GOT ATTACKED?

@StonardPeter:
Every right wing imbecile is “praying for Israel”. not a single word about prayers for the Iranians dying? What the fuck is wrong with you people?
@KashifMD:
Christian Zionists don’t see a war between Israel and Iran as a tragedy to prevent — they see it as a prophecy to fulfill.
To them, it’s not horror. It’s holy. A divine step toward the Second Coming.
This is one of the most dangerous distortions of organized religion in our time. So much bloodshed. So much violence. So much killing. All in the name of the Bible.
If Jesus actually returned and saw what’s being done in his name today, I beleive he’d be the most heartbroken soul in the world.

Fmr IAEA chief calls out Canada: “Any justification for (Israel’s) aggression by any country makes it complicit and a partner in the destruction and devastation that will result from it” https://x.com/ElBaradei/status/1933446838465503661 Prof Ben Saul, Chair of In’l Law U of Sydney https://x.com/profbensaul/status/1933354008925909291
‘Accusing the rape victim while covering up for the rapist’ – that’s what your statement seems like. It is Israel’s unprovoked massive aggression on Iranian cities/civilians that started this offensive war against the sovereign state of Iran. Incredibly, you are inappropriately affirming Israel’s “right to self-defence” (when it’s clearly unlawful) and inappropriately condemning Iran for responding in self-defence (which is clearly lawful). Absurd.
For a former law professor your statement is ignorant, even imbecilic. It is clear that the Israeli regime committed a grave international crime with its blatant act of aggression (which it sugarcoats, falsely, as a “pre-emptive strike”). – Use of force against another state is generally prohibited in article 2(4) of the UN Charter (with the exception of the right of self defense in the case of armed attack against the state) – “First use of armed force is prima facie evidence of an act of aggression” under UN General Assembly Resolution 3314 (1974) –
Attacks against nuclear facilities are prohibited under article 56 of the additional protocol to the Geneva Conventions to which Canada is a party
Kevin Heller (Prof Int’l Law): “Israel’s attack is both unlawful and criminal — the crime of aggression.” https://x.com/kevinjonheller/status/1933387429462855692
Marko Milanovic (Prof of Int’l Law) “Israel’s use of force against Iran would be illegal. This is because there is little evidence that Iran has irrevocably committed itself to attacking Israel with a nuclear weapon, once it develops this capability… it cannot reasonably be argued that Iran would imminently attack Israel, or that using force was the only option to stop that attack. Israel is therefore using force against Iran unlawfully, in violation of Article 2(4) of the Charter. It is committing aggression.” https://ejiltalk.org/is-israels-use-of-force-against-iran-justified-by-self-defence/
Adil Haque (Prof of Law) “Not “preemptive.” Illegal. There is no evidence of an actual or imminent armed attack by Iran. This is a blatant violation of the UN Charter.” https://x.com/AdHaque110/status/1933321511328203007
The rogue state of Israel is committing the crime of genocide in Palestine, has recently attacked several countries (Lebanon, Syria, Yemen) and now it is attacking another country. Israel has been the biggest threat to regional stability for 77 years: There is no end to the Israeli aggression, terrorism & destruction against the region – enabled by US/Western weapons, support and diplomatic cover. As well, Israeli leaders are indicted for war crimes by the ICC.
The nuclear-armed rogue state of Israel with its irrational, genocidal, warmongering, expansionist leaders is an existential threat to the entire world (not just Iran) – IAEA chief “nuclear facilities must never be attacked, regardless of the context or circumstances.” Israel’s strike on an Iranian nuclear facility is causing chemical and radiological contamination. https://x.com/UN_News_Centre/status/1933545173394272654 – Israel likely has the 4th biggest nuclear weapons arsenal in the world. Israel has the largest per capita nuclear arsenal in the world (100-500 nuclear weapons vs Iran 0 nuclear weapon) – Israel’ nuclear program is hidden from IAEA inspection (Iran welcomed IAEA international observers to inspect its nuclear program) – Israel refuses to sign the nuclear weapons non-proliferation treaty (Iran signed the non-proliferation treaty) – Israel’s leaders nearly deployed its nuclear weapons on at least one occasion (1973) https://upi.com/Defense-News/2002/09/16/Yom-Kippur-Israels-1973-nuclear-alert/64941032228992/
Prof Robert Pape: Why would Iran abandon nuclear weapons if a nuclear-armed Israel can attack the country and its leaders for any reason Israel wants? https://x.com/ProfessorPape/status/1933618752945528995 – Israel has been crying wolf about Iran’s imaginary nuclear weapons for over 30 years. Since 1992 Netanyahu claimed over 20 times that Israel will soon have a nuclear bomb. https://x.com/IsraeliLobby/status/1933015003734372381
– Carl Bildt: “It’s still the basic assessment that closed down its nuclear weapons program in 2003.” https://x.com/carlbildt/status/1933830048882012323
– Iran’s leaders chose not to make and test nuclear weapons – even though it could have easily done it with the help of its nuclear-armed allies Russia, China and North Korea.
– Now, since Israel’s offensive attack, Iranian people are in the streets demanding their government build nuclear weapons!
Israel has critical military sites located in highly-populated areas, using its civilians as human shields.
Israel has a military and intelligence command center in an underground bunker and tunnels beneath Tel Aviv. https://nytimes.com/2021/05/22/world/middleeast/israel-fortress-of-zion.html UN Security Council member Algeria (Amb Bendjama): “Israelis act like international law does not exist or simply does not apply to them. Israel is sowing chaos throughout the region, throughout the Middle East. Its conduct is unworthy of a member of the United Nations.
We are witnessing repeated acts of aggression: The bombing of the Lebanese capital, the occupation of new territories in Syria, in Lebanon, in Palestine, and repeated violation of Syrian sovereignty, including abduction of civilian, has occurred just yesterday. In Gaza, Israel is using starvation as a method of warfare in clear violation of international humanitarian law. Genocide is unfolding before our eyes, before your eyes. This is the behavior of a rogue state and yet some still wonder why the Middle East remains so dangerously unstable.” Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East “It was Israel that launched an unprovoked attack on Iran, and yet Canada directly criticizes only Iran while urging all sides to de-escalate.

When the initial wave was launched, that included the targeting of IRGC leadership and scientists, more than 20 sites were hit in less than 15 minutes amid solely at taking out these individuals.

The strikes were more successful than the Israelis expected they would be, I’m told.
