Iran getting nuclear weapons would not be an anti war move. Mutually Assured Destruction doesnt work when your country's leaders often just want to see the world burn. Not saying they do now. But with these holy war mentalities its honestly getting hard to tell.
Enriching past the civilian level is a bad sign and it should be stopped until Iran is a country where things start to make sense. They still lead the world in child executions, even over North Korea though NK's numbers are highly subjective.
That being said, I don't know if Canada is capable of making a big impact on the region. One way or another.
Personally I think Isreal attacking Iran on its own is a big mistake.

Both nations have a non Arab majority and should cooperate to secure a save future. but Iran funds various Jihad militia's for years, Israel does not do the same. Israel has no way to ''invade Iran'' not even by proxy..... You are just clueless about the entire region and conflict. Yes, they are one sided. Israel is threatening Iran with an invasion. Iran is not threatening Israel. Israel does not do the same? Then what is Jundallah doing in Iran? Israel has no way to attack Iran? The US has military bases in nearly all countries surrounding Iran, for fuck's sake. Get a clue.
Errr, Iran wages war against Israel by proxy ( Hizbollah Hamas, Islamic Jihad etc) long before they even had a nuclear program or Israel even made a comment about attacking them.
The entire reason Iran is interesting for Israel is because of their support for many terrorist groups, and their clear aim to destroy Israel ( they said on numerous occasions)
the US having bases means nothing since Iran is a theocratic apartheid state and where the top leaders believe we live in the end times.
Note how Israel has NEVER sided with the US in ANY invasion of Arab nations. Not in the six days war, not in 73, and not in gulf war I & II.

Really? Iran said they want to destroy Israel? You really are brainwashed. Are you, by any chance, talking about Ahmadinejad quoting a dead ayatollah, who's speach the pro-Israel media had taken way out of context?

Wow when someone says "ill deal with you after school" he isnt about to trade with you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad_and_Israel So all of these are misinterpretations then?

But we don't care about Palestinians and their civilians because they're Arabs right? Who cares about them having over 3 state sanctioned 9/11s the past years. They have dark skin right, so it's perfectly justified.
9/11's? What are you talking about? You think 9/11 was just about the number?
You think we have a 9/11 every day, just because more than 3000 people across the globe die on an average day? What are you talking about?
See, this is the insanity that we have to deal with. You think 10.000 / 3 = three 9/11's. Context means nothing, words mean nothing, history means nothing.
So you begin to hyperbole everything. Surely, if 10.000 dead can be called three 9/11's, what is stopping you from calling 1 dead a holocaust? One checkpoint a death camp? One sanction an orchestrated attempt to exterminate the Palestinians.
There is no rhyme or reason to anything you say, other than to explode anything into, not just its most extreme form, but miles and bounds beyond into the most extreme word you can manage to come up with.
10.000 over 65 years = 153 dead.
Call me crazy, but I don't think those numbers are that ridiculous considering the fact that the Palestinians are actively engaged in a struggle against the Israeli's, going so far as to launch rockets from every inch of land they get.
Adding onto that the well documented history of Hamas using their own people as shields and propaganda fodder, I don't think 153 is all that much.
But the truth is, numbers don't matter. It could be 1 dead Palestinian and you would still scream genocide. Go extreme, go borderline insane with your accusations. Just acknowledge that they are not grounded in any reality.
Israeli death tolls on the other hand are at about 15% of that. Besides it's up to the Israeli as an occupational force to supply the Palestinians in accordance with the Geneve convention. Instead they're murdering people trying to bring them medicine and food. Because that's reasonable.
Israel doesn't build their military infrastructure at the heart of cities. They try to minimize their own casualties, so we can't be too surprised that the numbers aren't equal.
Fact still remains that Israel has received more UN resolutions to stop their violence than all other states in the world combined.
Would that be the same UN that has Saudi-Arabia on the human rights council? Don't make me laugh.
Yeah, Israel needs to stop building settlements, that don't mean much more than that.
Big difference:
The Israeli soldiers are facing backlash.
Hamas soldiers that hit a kid with a rocket strike get a parade.

1st quote. Watch your phrasing. First Nations people has a ton of ambiguity. Are you referring to the Indians native to Canada? In any case, what's your point? I've lived in Canada the majority of my life. I've been to every province. I have both British and Canadian citizenship. I really don't see what you're getting at.

Sorry. 1948, general assembly of the United Nations. My mistake. It's been a while since European history class. Still doesn't change my initial point one bit re: the democratic nature by which the Jews that experienced diaspora during WWII were allocated Israel.
Present more stupid nitpicky fluff points with no substance please.

Is no one concerned about the implications this has in terms of weakening the NPT? What benefit is there for non-nuclear nations to remain committed to non-proliferation if there are only punishments, not rewards?
|
I'm glad Canada did this even though it is mostly symbolic. Countries pulling bull shit like this and stirring up issues in the already volatile middle east especially with possible nuclear arms can't be ignored.
What's really a shame IMO is that the Palestinians are used as a tool against Israel by other Arab countries. The massive refugee camps that Palestinians live in could easily be assimilated and be taken out of refugee status and given a home by the neighbouring Arab countries instead of living in massive refugee camps.
Regarding the 3 holocausts a year that is probably the stupidest thing I have read in a long long time. 9/11 was an unprovoked attack which killed 3k innocent people and has changed the world incredible amounts. Zalz number of 153 is only 50 more than what peanuts kill in a year for fuck sakes. This is also using the horribly inflated numbers from Palestinians who use any death that could even have a faint chance of being related as death to add to their count. Palestinians fire fucking rockets into Israel all of the time killing people.
Look up all the terrorist attacks on Israel there are so many every year. Imagine if your city had bombs go off, buses being hijacked and the occupants slaughtered, rockets landing randomly all of the time. Heads would roll... Should Israel just ignore this? Do you think thats even an option?
You can't let people responsible for this get away with murdering innocent people. Sadly this means innocents are also in harms way when your seeking out the "bad guys" but I'm sure the IFD does everything they can to avoid collatoral damage especially while under the microscope of the world.
Israel doesn't target hospitals, schools, children, use human shields (for the most part) while hamas does and people try to paint them as the bad guys.

They don't, and for good reason. However, they didn't totally support a democracy either; that's why it was so easily overthrown by the CIA back in '53. Most people HATE government in the Mideast regardless of system or whatever, and when government are popular it's when there's tons of nationalism being stirred or there's some big economic/political victory. A lot of it also has to do with the fact that people in the Mideast are a lot more active than in most of the rest of the world. If they feel they have a reason to fight, good or bad, they will do it.
Fun fact: Iranians used to be extremely liberal/secular, easily one of the most "westernized" countries outside of Europe/NA. And yet, they overthrew a secular social order to put the biggest Islamic fanatic of the modern era in power, who sparked and influenced more Islamic extremism and fundamentalism in the Mideast more than even Wahhabist Saudi Arabia could ever hope for.
GL Mideast. It literally has 4 secular countries left. Two are extremely tiny and relatively uninfluential (Tunisia and Lebanon), one is Israel, and the other is Turkey.
The biggest problem is if the Muslim Brotherhood gains actual power in Egypt (the military still holds the real power). Egypt is literally the media center of the Arab world, and it won't be good if they start putting out shit that is in favor of Islamic fundamentalism. Just as bad is the one country in the Mideast that really cracked down on Islamic extremism and was influential in promoting secularism was sent back to the Stone Age over the span of the past couple decades. Now Iraq is run by a former Islamic terror group in bed with Iran. lol.
TL;DR: The Mideast is FUBAR.

You should have a chat with a few Palestinians before you state something like that. Also, microscope of the world? You realise they have a nuclear arsenal and the IAEA doesn't give a single fuck, while Iran, a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is constantly harrassed for using nuclear energy for civilian purposes even?
Israel is a terror state with 0 legitimacy. Looks like it's been too long since 1948 that people have forgotten that they are the aggressors while the Arabs are fighting the defensive war. Therefore the term "Palestinian terrorism" is not even correct. Zionist terrorism has been present in the British Mandate of Palestine however.

More and more nations cutting diplomatic ties with Iran. Could be indicative of a larger trend moving forward.

arguing why israel is there (holocaust, 1948, travelling down from Poland) is like arguing semantics stay on track this thread is about why Canada severed ties with Iran, which, to me at least, indicates America is considering invasion.

I just read somewhere that Canada and Brazil were the only 2 countries to maintain diplomatic ties with all 192 countries in the UN. Now it's just Brazil, I guess.

Guy steps on a bus and blows himself up in order to kill as many Israeli citizens as possible, all out of a desire to see the establishment of a Palestinian state, whilst identifying himself as Palestinian.
Totally not Palestinian terrorism.
If anything, it is Israel terrorism, cause Israel is being such a meanie-pants that they are giving these poor Palestinians no other option than to place bombs whose sole goal is to murder as many civillians as possible.
You know, just like how Ghandi was forced to do the same against the British.

Iran has not invaded other nations in like...forever. It is not a threat, it spends most of its military spending on defense, and they even got attacked by Stuxnet, and they do invest in terrorism but has it done that much harm compared to what America and Israel has done? And we have sent an embargo on Iran. Despite the horrors of the Iranian government, I am sure there is more to fear about the West than there is about the State on its own people.
If there is going to be a war, it is going to happen on Iranian soil. The only way you can possibly be this clueless is on purpose. Iran fought the US in Afghanistan and Iraq by training and supplying insurgents.
How do you not see a country directing its efforts to attain a nuclear capability that also states they will annihilate Israel as bad fucking news for Israel?
Of course there will be a war against Iran if the course does not change. If France said "We will annihilate Italy" then violently suppressed dissent... What do you think Germany would do about that?
What are we supposed to do, laugh it off? This isn't Call of Duty make believe.

Except the US is not arming thousands of terrorists, or has made any claim or attempt to destroy a nation and its people as Iran has.
