    Isn’t that a very clear declaration of war?

    Soldiers shooting at civilian representatives of other countries is both war crime and a war.

    Time for Canada to request a clear explanation and draft a notice about trade and sanctions.

      No, it’s very definitely not a declaration of war to shoot near or at diplomats.

      There is no place in war for this sort of intimidation. What you’re referring to is a war crime.

      It is not an act of war.

      I mean, they attacked a warship owned by the world’s greatest superpower and then only after being caught they gave a laughable explanation causing the superpower to say “We accept your apology but not your explanation” with no further action taken. How Israel continues to get away with it is a question for the ages.
