Alberta Humanist Association

So Tired of the federal NDP's ongoing support for the terrorist occupation Israel. In every opportunity to speak on the Terrorism and Genocide Palestinians have been experiencing, they always have to accuse Hamas and reference Oct 7th Oct 7th... like it was unprovoked.

Last month, a volunteer texted me asking me if I'm backing the NDP, and i said it depended on their position with the Zionist Terrorist Occupation and Palestine. He sent me this link to their site. This was my response:

Thank you for your response. I can understand it can be overwhelming as a volunteer to respond to so many replies. :)
I am generally happy with much of what the NDP has said in regard to Palestine.

Where i have a massive problem is the NDP's ongoing support for the so-called state of Israel. It's illegitimate and the sole reason for the ongoing terrorism against Palestinians for the past 76 years. Zionists stole the land through terrorism and they continue to steal more by continued means of terrorism. Israel must cease and dismantle and return all land BACK to Palestinians. There's no peace in Palestine with the Zionist Terrorist Occupation called Israel still controlling any part of the region.

The NDP needs to drop this from their website:

The vicious terrorist attacks on October 7

Resistance isn't terrorism. Palestinians have a right to resist. If the NDP stands against violent Colonalism, then they must respect resistance. Nearly all the claims made by the Zionist Terrorist Occupation against Hamas during Oct 7th have been disproved.

Again, I understand you're a volunteer, so i don't expect you to respond. Pls however forward my comments to those at the top of the NDP

Thank you.

We must demand better from them every chance we get.

Heather McPherson has been a vocal advocate for Palestine and has spoken numerous times in the HoC, calling on the corrupt Liberal Government to stop arming Israel...... However....

Multiple times, Heather begins her speeches with condemning Hamas.. Oct 7th.. Oct 7th... She also believes that the Zionist Terrorists Israeli occupation deserves a state on Palestinian land.

This is not acceptable. Although we should commend her and her parties' efforts to see freedom for Palestine, her definition of freedom falls short and gives legality and justification for Terrorism. What happened 76 years ago matters today as it did back then. Palestine is the only true representative of the territory, and it must be returned to Palestinians.
We must hold the NDP accountable. People are dying as I type this from bombs made by our countries hands. We have a Zionist Embassy in our Countries capital that believes in what the Zionist Terrorists are doing to Palestinians.

When is enough, enough?

The Alberta Humanist Association is standing with women all across Iran who are standing up for their rights and freedoms.

The death last week of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was arrested in Tehran by morality police -- a dedicated unit that enforces strict dress codes for women, such as wearing the compulsory headscarf -- has sparked an outpouring anger over issues ranging from freedoms in the Islamic Republic to the crippling economic impacts of sanctions.

The author of this article CLEARLY, forgets the historical fact that everywhere the Protestant and Catholic went bodies dropped.

From the 1600's witch hunts that saw 1000's of mostly women tortured and or burned at the stake or hung on American soil,

To Christian slave owners who quotes that the New Testament passage:

1Corinthians 7:21 Were you a slave when you were called? Don't seek to be free...

To the Christian colonalists both protestant and catholic who colonized turtle island under the Doctrine of Discovery forcing conversions and assisting in the genocide of countless First Nations people.

To the crusades that saw the earth soaked in blood,

To the dark ages.

There's so much that can be said on the destruction faith has had on this planet.

This article would have you believe in a gentle movement meek and mild.

What is truly happening is a radicalized movement within Christianity that long for the return of the old days.

When a theocracy ran most of the old world.

Where women had no rights, where gay men were killed for their abominable acts

I find this article sickening. A revisionist attempt at white washing history.

From the article:

We see their signs at protests and rallies and saw them in abundance during the Ottawa occupation. Misplaced, sometimes misspelled, Bible quotes, calls for the “restoration of the kingdom of God,” pictures of rosaries wrapped around offensive right-wing statements and prayer meetings held by people who proceed to wish death on Justin Trudeau and use obscene language about their opponents.

Apart from the obvious horror of it all, it’s such an imploding idea. Christian nationalism is an inherent contradiction, an oxymoron, in that Jesus stood in direct opposition to nationalism — both that of his own people, and as a wider concept. The essence of his teaching is that he came for all, irrespective of race or nation, and that one person could not have two masters. A Christian nationalist is merely a nationalist trying to disguise nastiness behind faith and religiosity

Opinion | Canadian Christian nationalism not Christian, it’s not Canadian, or patriotic either Jesus said you change the world by changing your heart, Christian nationalists say you change the world by shouting at and insulting people.

Still happening here in Canada.

CBC News has learned Coy and 17 other former students have filed criminal abuse complaints. After a 12-month investigation, Saskatoon police handed the file to Crown prosecutors in April to consider possible charges, according to police emails to students. It's unclear when the Crown will make a decision.

The complaints include frequent paddlings, many of which allegedly occurred after the Supreme Court of Canada outlawed corporal punishment by educators in early 2004.

There are also allegations of coercion, traumatizing rituals and solitary confinement.
