  • First off, I’m not even American so I don’t support Vance or any other American politician.

    Secondly, you support the American government, which killed around half a million middle eastern civilians in retaliation for 9/11.

    Thirdly, if Israel was trying to wipe out Palestinians they’re doing an absolute shit job of it. They’re barely killing them faster than the birth rate and it would take centuries to wipe them out at the current rate.

    Finally, no you can’t say you support Palestinians and ignore what they stand for. You either don’t actually support Palestinians, or you support their war. Say you support not killing instead, and drop the Palestinian conditional.



  • Israel went to war because they were invaded by 5 other countries who weren’t happy with the lines the UN agreed upon.

    This fight wasn’t just inevitable, it’s been an ongoing fight for thousands of years, Arabs have been attacking Jewish people for literally thousands of years in that region.

    When the Ottoman empire collapsed because they supported the wrong side in the war, the victors got to decide what happened with it. You don’t get to lose a war, then just go back to peaceful enjoyment of your land like nothing happened. Wars have consequences. Maybe Palestinians should have done something about that before allowing their country to join world war one.

    Even Germany lost land to it’s neighbors during the wars. I don’t see anyone here complaining about that land being colonized.


  • How exactly do you “colonize” a region that your ancestors been on for 2000+ years?

    Remember, the first massive waves of Jewish people moving to Israel literally came there from concentration camps, refugee camps, and other displaced locations because of what happened around the world wars.

    Of course it was a settler project, around 6 million Jewish people were killed in the holocaust, you think they all wanted to move back in next to the neighbors that had ratted them out to the government? They got absolutely fucked, and the UN had given them their ancestral homeland back when it broke up the country that had been in that region and lost in the great war.


  • Outraged that they’re now being used against them? Israel spent literally tens of billions of dollars on a missile defence system to reduce the effect of rocket attacks. They’ve been pissed off at Palestinians and other terrorist groups for attacking them for a very long time, in fact literally since the day after they declared independence and got invaded by 5 of the neighboring countries.

    Your logic in no way helps your argument. If it’s actually a war that both sides want, then what the fuck are we doing complaining about civilian deaths on one side being lopsided? Should bigger countries always have to deal with smaller groups with kid gloves on? That’s just stupid, wars aren’t about being fair.

    You can want them to stop fighting, but both of them want to be fighting right now. You aren’t going to pull them apart like in a bar fight, there’s no way to physically separate these two groups.


  • In this case, the context was that there was a threat being made, that voters could be materially harmed by the Chinese government if they did not vote a particular way. This is something that China has a history of actually following through on, so it’s obvious that people took it seriously. I don’t really have a problem with someone voicing their own individual opinion.

    To keep things simple though, probably all social media comments made by someone who is not in Canada related to Canadian politics should not be visible while in Canada. Canadians should be allowed to talk to each other freely. If Canadians want to see how Americans are feeling about our election, they should have to seek that information out from News Outlets, Pollsters, or even just directly talking to someone rather than it just showing up in some random feed on Facebook.












  • A) Fuck this racist piece of shit.

    B) Anyone who says they support Palestinians but not Hamas are intentionally being ignorant, since the vast majority of the Palestinians in Gaza support Hamas and their attack(s) on Israel based on decently reputable local polling (not sourced by Israel)

    People need to take their head out of the sand and realize that this isn’t just an Israeli invasion, it’s a war that both sides want to keep fighting. It’s just a stupid war since Palestine is significantly weaker and getting their ass handed to them. The only reason Hamas is even still able to keep fighting is they’re being heavily funded with money and weapons from outside countries that want to weaken Israel. Gaza is dirt poor, they have no militarily exploitable resources or weapons production ability.
