Oh by the way, it’s kind of racist to suggest that Palestinians only know how to respond to violence by becoming terrorists.

CBC, BBC…it figures. Both are very left-wing organizations with a strong anti-Israel bias.
Isreal could have ended their border threat decades ago by NOT KILLING CIVILIANS.>
You mean like when they withdrew from Gaza and handed it over to the Palestinians in 2005? How did that work out? Or maybe you’re referring to 1973, when Arab nations invaded on the holiest day in the Jewish religion and almost succeeding in destroying Israel? Or perhaps you’re referring to 1948…oh no wait, that’s when Arab countries invaded Israel immediately after it declared independence. I’m noticing a pattern here, aren’t you?
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.
DarthJon@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Ottawa principal apologizes for playing Arabic song during Remembrance Day ceremony23·6 months agoNo, 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.
DarthJon@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Ottawa principal apologizes for playing Arabic song during Remembrance Day ceremony16·6 months agoCan 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.”
DarthJon@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Ottawa principal apologizes for playing Arabic song during Remembrance Day ceremony24·6 months agoSometimes war is necessary and showing respect to the people who have the courage to fight in them isn’t “glorification of war.”
DarthJon@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Ottawa principal apologizes for playing Arabic song during Remembrance Day ceremony37·6 months agoIt may not have been antisemitic, but it is at least callously insensitive to the large Jewish community in the school.
DarthJon@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Ottawa principal apologizes for playing Arabic song during Remembrance Day ceremony714·6 months agoNo, 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
DarthJon@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Israeli soccer fans attacked in Amsterdam, with five reportedly hospitalized and dozens of suspects arrested210·7 months agoRight, because antisemitic violence didn’t exist before Israel.
But you’re okay with your tax dollars funding Hamas terror tunnels and luxury homes while civilians live in poverty and suffer the brunt of the war.
Good people can do bad things. I know that’s a hard nuance to grasp.

The result of “anti-Palestinian racism” or some crap like that?

Yeah, let’s judge an entire country by one alleged incident. Guess what that’s called?
No. The inability to accept that genocidal Islamist terrorists are bad guys shows just how morally confused the left is.
It’s rare, but every now and then I find a voice of reason on this website. Thank you.
You don’t have to be rich to put money into a TFSA.
