    What an uninformed, specious thing to say. I almost suspect trolling

    Are you seriously suggesting Bibi’s Likud, or its partners Shas and Mafdal are … secular ?!?

      It’s a bit more complicated than that. People like him have traditionally played off of religion heavily while not being firm believers themselves. I think it stands to reason that the religion is a means to an end, which in Israel’s case amplifies their main defense, which is, “If you don’t like our ethnostate the you don’t like Jews.” Obviously ridiculous to most leftists, but liberals are more amenable to identity politics.

      Is canada not secular? Why did Carney said he want a zionist palestine, always talk about israel right to defend itself, lying about stopping selling weapons to it and pretending to want a two state solution?

        Carney, like most Canadians wants peace. Not the eradication of Palestinians, nor the eradication of Israelis. Canada can support a two party solution, and still support those ‘parties’ - that’s actually very consistent.

          You are either too naive or just pretending like Carney . He is lying about stopping selling weapons, he did nothing against the idf soldiers talking in a Canadian university and the selling of occupied land in Synagogues
