There is no video of gang rape in that link.

I’m well aware of the definition of genocide. My point was that the threshold for accusing Israel of genocide is very, very low.

Funny how people are so quick to accept anything people say about what Israel does but then turn around and argue about the evidence from 10/7.

LOL “commit so many genocides”

That just shows how meaningless the word is now. I’ll bet you didn’t know that anti-Zionists were accusing Israel of genocide during the 2014 war with Hamas - a war that lasted 6 weeks and had a death toll of a whopping 2300.

Your perspective on the conflict is totally warped. Israel is not the bully. We’re talking about a tiny country of 9 million people that you can drive across in 3 hours at its widest point. It is surrounded by Arab nations that have tried to destroy it several times, and for the past 30 years has been bullied by the proxies of the genocidal Iranian regime. Iran is the real bully in the Middle East.

Yeah, no

Really strange that they’re revealing this 3 weeks after it happened

Free the people of Iran

Do you have a suggestion for how Israel can deal with the genocidal threats on its borders without killing civilians? Or does that require you to think a bit more deeply than the slogans you pick up on TikTok?

The irony is, I used to be left-leaning. I might have even considered myself fairly progressive. That all changed over the past year.

No, we should not be teaching shame. We should be proud of the role we played in both major wars. We had to do horrific things in those wars because war is horrific, but we absolutely should not be ashamed of taking part.

Can you give me an example of something you consider to be “glorification of war?”

I think it’s an issue of interpretation. If you accept that war is sometimes necessary, and armed forces are required to fight in those wars, the country has to take some steps to encourage people to consider military service. Otherwise we won’t have a military when we need it. Plus, showing pride in the role we have played in major wars is a mechanism for generating national pride, which is something that has been in significant decline (partly due to our open immigration policies). I don’t consider these things “glorification of war.”

Sometimes war is necessary and showing respect to the people who have the courage to fight in them isn’t “glorification of war.”

It may not have been antisemitic, but it is at least callously insensitive to the large Jewish community in the school.

No, people are upset because someone appropriated a Canadian Remembrance Day ceremony to make a political statement about Gaza. People are tired of Palestinian activists appropriating everything for their own cause.

I’ve literally never watched Fox News. I’ve just observed what’s been happening in countries that have liberal immigration policies and have taken in a large number of people from a certain part of the world. You know, the people who are openly celebrating terrorism on our streets and are now “Jew-hunting” in cities like Amsterdam.

Yeah, you sound really broken up over the possibility of someone nuking Jerusalem

No, people who celebrate terrorism and call for globalized intifada are “pro-Hamas”

This isn’t rocket science here. Can you show me a single Palestinian rally where there was anything resembling peaceful “criticism of Israel?”

Right, because antisemitic violence didn’t exist before Israel.
