Awful new frontiers in authoritarian democracy-destabilizing disinformation, in this case leading to the deaths of >100 would-be migrants. And It's easy to imagine a similar political-disinformation-fuelled event happening at Canada's borders.

Canadians want justice for Gaza. Mark Carney's government is giving Benjamin Netanyahu access to Canadian airspace despite an ICC arrest warrant. So much for Canada's commitment to international law. The rule of law isn't a slogan—it's either universal or it's hypocrisy. #cdnpoli

Mark Carney just allowed war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu to fly through Canada despite a warrant for his arrest and the country being a signatory to the Rome Statute. We have aided and embedded one of history's greatest monsters
@CJPME
🚨 For the 3rd time in 7 months, Netanyahu has entered Canadian airspace en route to the United States.

As a signatory to the Rome Statute, Canada is obliged to enforce the ICC arrest warrants against Netanyahu. Instead, 
@MarkJCarney
 is allowing him to circumvent justice and avoid any consequences for his war crimes and crimes against humanity.

According to protocol, foreign state flights must seek permission before entering Canadian airspace, which should be submitted at least 72 hours in advance. 

Why does Carney continue to give safe passage to this war criminal? Canada should deny diplomatic clearance and close the airspace to ICC fugitives.

There's an all-party consensus on apartheid inside the Knesset, and many of the country's most popular figures (like Itamar Ben-Gvir, Naftali Bennett, & Bezalel Smotrich) are even more extremist than Netanyahu. There's no "opening after Netanyahu" inside Israeli politics, only pressure from outside.

In addition to the horror of US regime officials openly supporting racist pogroms, it's also quite funny that these guys are so stupid that they think that the British unionists behind the violence just "want to be Irish."
