The saying goes scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds

When it comes to opposing Israeli apartheid itself, sure, almost no. I guess the difference is the Liberals will not oppose the ICJ and ICC, whereas the Conservatives would align with Trump in smashing them. That’s a low bar.

When it comes to crushing the opposition here in Canada, hell yea, there is a difference: Poiliievre wants to deport activists, ICE style.. The Liberals haven’t gone to any such extreme.

Ultimately, look, we don’t have a presidential election, we have 343 MP elections in as many ridings. If the Conservatives have any chance at winning your riding, rally around whoever is not a fascist to defeat them, be that NDP, Liberal or Bloc. KEEP THE MAPLE MAGA OUT. In any other riding, do vote for Palestine. A Liberal minority is still a great outcome for Canada anyway.

Hammam Farah at least can see the nuance in the issue and the difference between the campaigns that is completely lost by many Palestinian supporters.

Sure, you can’t count on a Carney or a Poilievre led government to materially help your cause, but your vote can help at least avoid active harm that Poilievre is pledging. Only one of those two will provide some room for activism outside of federal politics rather than oppression, like we are seeing in Trump’s America. Vote NDP, Green, Bloc, Communist if you want, but don’t be a single-issue voter, and make your choice well.

This post is really going to be the stick in the mud.
