MP (and media) ‘stand with Israel’ no matter what

 

Canada Ottawa parliament Conservative Party MP Michael Cooper Israel complicity Gaza genocide politics acquiescence moral cowardice indifference self service

A Conservative MP said he supports killing and ethnically cleansing everyone in Gaza. But Canada’s uber Zionist media is uninterested.

Outside Parliament on Thursday Conservative MP Michael Cooper told me “I stand with Israel” after I asked his thoughts on Israel’s genocide and mentioned Amnesty International labelling it a “live streamed genocide”. Subsequently, I asked whether he’d “stand with Israel” if they ethnically cleansed or killed everyone in Gaza as well as asking about Israel starving Palestinian children. He repeated, “I stand with Israel and you can back off”.

Over 750 000 have watched the video on my TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and X accounts. Middle East Monitor, Palestine Pulse and TRT repurposed the video, which has been viewed by a half million more on various platforms.

But no Canadian media has demonstrated interest in Cooper’s incitement to genocide. If liberal media like the CBC or Toronto Star opposed Israel’s genocide they would be asking politicians similar questions.

They would also be asking where these attitudes come from. Cooper reflects the opinion of an average Jewish Israeli. A recent Pennsylvania University poll found that 47% of Israeli Jews want to kill everyone in Gaza and 82% want to ethnically cleanse the coastal strip of all non-Jews. But Canada’s dominant media studiously ignore Israeli racism.  (more...)
