Pretty funny that Justin Trudeau is moments away from retiring and starting to get great press for standing up to Trump and then out of nowhere decided to scream "I AM A ZIONIST I LOVE COLONIZATION!"

Did he though? Creating a new and only partial definition playing to a crowd that knows exactly what Zionism has and does mean all for applause is not really an explanation.
Honestly, I jumped into the middle of the conversation after having read what he said and trying to catch up. I am not well versed on Zionism other than “Zionism bad”. Being in America w/Trumpism gives a girl a slight crush on Trudeau from a distance. At least he looks better.
I mean, there are no consequences to anything he does now politically. Also, lefties need to realise the majority of people support Israel on their genocide. It isn't exactly rocket science
It's mostly because globally left wing political groups suck at messaging and let right wing political groups drive the topic and narrative of the discussion. Couple that with declining education of historical events and media literacy, and *she-daisy* populace of propaganda.
This may well split the unified left vote and get pp elected. Great job, Trudeau. Unless your statement is "I am a Zionist, I believe Israel has a right to exist, but not as an genocidal apartheid ethnostate" I'm just going to assume you're all in on starving and slaughtering 3+million people.
I know a lot of leftists willing to vote strategically for the LPC this election, but they will absolutely vote NDP or Green now if Carney doesn't do some damage control.
Exactly, which is why it's dumb as hell for the Liberals to do the same thing she did. No Canadian with a conscience is going to vote for a party that proudly supports genocide.
The funny take: Trudeau has a fetish for being loathed and despised and was just too turned off by people starting to respect him.
The probably true take: he's padding the coffers / prepping for a paid consultancy job or something. Zionism looks great on a Liberal consultancy resume I'd assume.
Hasbara and logic don't exactly mix and orders are orders. Credit to his skill as a politician to not look like he wanted to punch his own ticket as he delivered the script
He should start the conference with a land acknowledgement so we all know how sorry he is for colonization before following up explaining how he'd do it again.

Israel be like: “Okay Justin, you got to play Prime Minister for a few weeks but now you’re making those Lefties too giddy”
So no surprise.
But doubling down?
Can Carney say the right things?
I doubt it.
If genocide isn't a deal breaker, what is?
