In Rebuke To Justin Trudeau, Canadian Student Federation Backs Boycott (and vid)
https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/rebuke-justin...
"In another big blow to Israel's efforts to thwart the growing boycott campaign, the largest student organization in Canada voted on Monday to support Palestinian rights. On the same day, the Quaker church in the UK announced it would not invest any centrally held funds in companies that profit from Israel's human rights violations. Both announcements came as one of the world's largest home rental websites, Airbnb, said it was dropping hundreds of listings from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank following nearly three years of pressure from boycott activists.
The student federation's support for BDS is a clear rebuke of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's unabashed vilification of the boycott campaign and his historic and ongoing alignment with Israel's leadership, policies that clash with the views of his electorate. Support for the BDS campaign is high in Canada, even if Trudeau's government continues to condemn the boycott movement and smear its supporters..."

At least 30 killed in Israel’s reported missile assault on Syria Dec 3, 2018 @ 6:31
DEBKAfile’s military sources reveal exclusively that Israel’s reported massive attack on Iranian and Hizballah targets in Syria last Thursday night left at least 30 Iranian and Hizballah dead and dozens wounded. Among the fatalities were Iranian Revolutionary Guards officers and commanders of Hizballah and the pro-Iranian militias serving in Syria…..
I am personally worried that Israel has a plan to lure Iran into a strike and is then relying on the US to bail it out (or the Israelis are over-confident of their own nuclear capabilities against Iran). I personally think Netanyahu is a criminally insane individual with a messianic complex, and that Iran is vastly more competent and able to hold its own….from Robert Steele

Syria will adopt a new rule of engagement with Israel now that Russia has taken a tougher and clearer stance on the conflict between Israel and the “Axis of the Resistance”. Henceforth, Damascus will be responding to any Israeli strike. If it damages a specific military target it will reply with a strike against a similar objective in Israel. Decision makers in Damascus said, “Syria will not hesitate to hit an Israeli airport if Damascus airport is targeted and hit by Israel. This will be with the consent of the Russian military based in the Levant.”

Maj. Gen. (res.) Yitzhak Brick retired this week after serving as the Israel Defence Forces ombudsman for over a decade. Before his departure, Brick got into a spat with the Israeli military’s top brass after publishing a thorough report suggesting that Israel’s ground forces were grossly unprepared for a major conflict.
Brick continued his barrage of criticism against the military over its allegedly catastrophic readiness levels on Wednesday, the day he was replaced by former defence comptroller Eitan Dahan.
“If there is a war, the trauma of Yom Kippur will be a walk in the park in comparison, Brick said, speaking to Israeli television.
Brick was referring to the October War of 1973 between Israel and a coalition of Arab states, which brought Israel to the brink of defeat and nearly sparked a wider war between the United States and the Soviet Union, whom supported opposite sides in the conflict....sputnick news

Iran’s air force commander responded to the latest events, saying his nation was “ready for a war that will destroy the state of Israel”. Such a war could drag in the US and Russia – and lead to nuclear weapons being deployed. The Israeli regime with its 200-300 nuclear warheads is certainly criminally arrogant enough.
Israel’s reckless flouting of international law and its taunting of enemies may be just the kind of hubris that precedes a catastrophic fall....Finian Cunningham in Strateegic-culture.org

UN Required to Classify Israeli Air Strikes on Syria as War Crimes
Tragically, the airstrikes still managed to target an airport in Southeastern Damascus, killing and wounding a number of Syrian soldiers. Syrian media, citing a military source, said the country had endured “intense attack through consecutive waves of guided missiles” early Monday, but had destroyed most “hostile targets.”
Israel launches airstrikes on Syria from time to time in breach of international law and in what is widely viewed as an attempt to win elections or to prop up terrorist groups that have been suffering defeat at the hands of the Syrian government forces and allies.
Will the UN General Assembly meet to declare this a war crime?

To answer your question: Any SC motion to stop the Zionist regime will be vetoed by the US, and Canada will follow their lead.
I wonder if they're hoping that Russia will whack a Zionist bomber down and then the real shooting can start? I think that Russia will defend the peace they've brought to Syria but only if it doesn't cause really big problems? For the time being at least!

He could say something like THIS "I and my party want both the Jewish and Arab national communities in Palestine to be able to live in peace, freedom and safety, under whatever arrangements are most likely to make this possible. It is because of this that I denounce the Netanyahu government, its relentless collective punishment of the Palestinian people, and its continued policies of building and expanding the illegal settlements in the West Bank while keeping the people of Gaza under perpetual siege. It is clear that neither of those policies will ever result in anything remotely resembling peace or justice for anyone living in those lands, and that no one is truly protected from any danger through the use of force to preserve an intrinsically unjust status quo".
To be honest about it, one of the finest acts of courage was Chretien keeping us out of the US's phony war on Iraq. When the Cons hated him so much for doing it, he couldn't have been all that bad!
