The saudi regime is as bad we don't have any sanction on them. Israel is doing the worst crime in humanity a fucking genocide we don't have sanctions on the state itself. Any kind of sanctions in the war makes it harder for iran to defend itself for being genocided too. So please stop with your hypocrisy

Ah, but the Saudi regime has dumptrucks full of money.

OK they should be sanctioned too then. Next question?

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But there is no sanctions on them though showing canada hypocrisy. Thye are sanctionning iran because it is israel and usa enemies and to make irqn lose so israel can genocide it and do the greater israel project

You're conflating the topic and build a strawman so bye

It's a straw man to talk about the other side in a conflict! You can only talk about the state being bombed and invaded, not the states doing the bombing and invasion!

Nope current discussion is social reaction and OP is conflating with government policy - not even remotely the same thing. It's a bad faith discussion that will go nowhere productive so have a day.

Sounds more like you don't have an answer to the point that Canada sanctioning one human rights violator while ignoring those it's allied to.

Whatsboutism and strawman accusation is hypocrites favourite accusation. It is not a strawman to expose canada selective applications of sanctions and values they pretend to have
