Saudi Arabia Carries Out Another Massacre in Yemen, Slaughtering and Wounding 58 Civilians
https://twitter.com/dimitrislacaris/status/1129191822041997312
"While that human rights champion Justin Trudeau demonizes critics of Israel's apartheid regime, the Saudi mass murderers to whom his government sells deadly weapons continue to massacre Yemeni civilians."
"These barbaric attacks are carried out with full Canadian, US, British, French and German support. Where are western 'human rights' organizations? Why aren't western backers of Al Qaeda in Idlib calling for regime change in Saudi Arabia?"

77 Civilians Killed, Wounded as Saudi Airstrikes Target Yemeni Capital

"This newest Saudi airstrike outrage, which killed 77 civilians in Sanaa, is an obvious response to the powerful incentive Bolton's May 5 statement gave the Saudis to provoke the Houthis to retaliate in the hope that Trump will then launch an Iran war."

Well obviously as it so often does that moment has long passed and it's back to business as usual. In Riyadh's chop-chop square as well.

Prof. Imseis urged the Canadian government to reconsider arms sales to Saudi Arabia..."

"Canadian NGOs demand the cabinet stop the thriving weapons exports to Riyadh, Ottawa's second-largest non-US arms buyers and a major actor in the Yemen War.

A total of 39 human-rights, arms-control, and labour organizations, among them Canadian branches of Amnesty International and Oxfam, have penned an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sounding the alarm 'about the serious ethical, legal, human-rights and humanitarian implications of Canada's ongoing exports to Saudi Arabia.
Similar pleas were sent to the government at least 3 times - in March 2019, August 2019 and April 2020 - but were left unanswered, the signatories said. Stunningly, arms exports to Saudi Arabia now account for over 75% of Canada's non-US military exports..."

All is well. Canada-Saudi weapons business is booming. Opposition voices largely fall silent. G20 is a PR coup for Saudi Arabia. Some Canadian 'progressives' prefer to obsess instead with Russia/China, Trump Derangement Syndrome or whatever else msm tells them to. Yemen apocalypse continues unabated while union-made Canadian APC death-machines continue to roll off the assembly line for Saudi.

Caitoz: We Are The Terrorists
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/55997.htm
"...In other words, the US and its allies have been helping Saudi Arabia deliberately kill children and other civilians on a mass scale in order to achieve a political goal. Which would of course be a perfect example of any standard definition of terrorism.
We are the terrorists. Saudi Arabia, the US, the UK, Australia, CANADA, France and every other nation which has facilitated the mass atrocity in Yemen - this tight globe-spanning power alliance is a terrorist organization the likes of which the world has never seen before. The unfathomably savage and bloodthirsty empire designating the Houthis as a terrorist organization is the least funny joke that has ever been told.
We are the terrorists. I say 'we' instead of our governments because if we are honest with ourselves we as a civilian population are complicit in this slaughter.
The horrors in Yemen are without question the worst thing that is happening in the world right now, yet they compose barely a blip in our social consciousness..."
Are you really going to remain silent while your government sells our union-made death machines to the Kingdom of Saudi America for billions in blood-soaked dollars? Canada is into this bigtime. And we should be howling from the very rooftops to stop our participation in yet another Western run Middle Eastern slaughter-fest before our very averted eyes, (especially while also whole-heartedly supporting Apartheid Israel's genocidal criminality) - fervently and immediately. It's all done in our names and yet we stay silent. I agree with Caitoz wholeheartedly. We Are The Terrorists. Tell that to your headman, Canucklheads.
