Charlie Angus / The Resistance - March 18, 2026
QUOTE: "“Don’t fall for the regime change talk. Israel is ‘mowing the lawn’ in Iran... a form of perpetual conflict management which can never achieve the ‘total victory’ of its most delusional propagandists and which guarantees this third Gulf War won’t be the last.” - Haaretz, Israel, March 13, 2026"
- -
EXCERPT: "Referring to the mass bombings of civilians in South Lebanon as “cutting the grass”, or the shooting down of a family as “killing dogs”, is the 21st-century equivalent of the desensitization that made mass killing of the 20th century possible.
The only chance we have of pushing back on barbarism is to hold to the international rule of law. We must recognize that Israel has become an increasingly lawless force in the Middle East, carrying out terror attacks and atrocities at will.
At the very least, we must push for a total end to weapons sales.
As the situation spirals, Jewish communities around the world are facing increasing insecurity. Canada has a responsibility to take strong action against anti-semitism and violence against Jewish sites in our country.
But we must also be willing to call out the mass violence inherent in Israel’s actions in the Middle East. Otherwise, we are complicit in allowing the world to sink further into a world of monsters.
As (Chris) Hedges writes:
“The most depraved leaders of human history, those who reduced cities to ashes, herded captive populations to execution sites and littered lands they occupied with mass graves and corpses, have returned with a vengeance.”"
