ICYMI this week ...
A weekly round-up of headlines from the Daily News Podcast
The world is watching Iran, Israel and the United States to see if Israel’s attempt to goad Iran into a broader war will work. And yet, the killing continues on the ground in Gaza. We are still raising funds to get our friend’s wife, kids, mother and brother out of Gaza and so if you have any money to spare, please consider helping our campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/f/aidez-sa-famille-de-quitte-gaza
On that — my video this week talks about how Israel killed a Canadian and damaged the Canadian embassy in Syria on the same day and yet, barely a peep out of Global Affairs Canada. Curious!

Good thing you have lost just about ALL of your readership. Clearly they left after they figured out you are a bigot with no clue about geopolitics or history. It's like watching Ronald McDonald doing a news anchor. Good for laughs but that's about all.
Israel has the right to defend itself! Apparently Iran does not. I’d guess nothing Israel does is done without American approval either directly or as a matter of policy. Certainly, America has been trying to draw Iran into a war since the overthrow of their puppet, the Shah.
