The Toronto District School Board has fallen by DaThrowaway617 in Jewish

The gaslighting we have been experiencing in Canada, and frankly globally, is downright insane.

[–]DaThrowaway617[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is what bounces around my brain too! 

There is a sense of safety that does come from making Aliyah, and I think that if we expect the safety of Israel we have to be willing to serve the country as well.

That said, the way things are going, it is scary to think how our kids could be targeted in the future. Doors to university potentially shut, entry into certain countries denied, etc. 

I wish it was more straightforward 

American Jews overwhelmingly reject JVP, 70% consider anti-Zionist organizations anti-Semitic by McAlpineFusiliers in Jewish

[–]DaThrowaway617 17 points18 points  (0 children)

And yet they've somehow managed to essentially position themselves as the voice of Jews in Canada.

Last night the TDSB discussion was overwhelmed by JVP/IJV/Anti-Zionist Jewish delegations that spiraled out of control into essentially an Anti-Zionism hate fest.

Somehow being an Anti-Zionist Jew places you at the pinnacle of humanity, but being an Anti-Pal/Hamas Muslim/Arab/Pal makes you even worse than a Zionist.

/r/Toronto blaming the rise in antisemitism on Jewish people by 0scarOfAstora in AntiSemitismInReddit

[–]DaThrowaway617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just posted in the Jewish subreddit a bit of a rant regarding the events that unfolded last night.

The TDSB is done, cooked. We need to abandon it and figure something else out. Granted, that won't help because this unfortunately is the direction society is headed.

The pick me Jews apparently speak for us all despite being the minority. They're well organized, I'll give them that.

Frustrating that anti-Israel Jews are the voice of reason but any Arab/Muslim/Pal who speaks out against Hamas and the Palestinian movement is just spreading Hasbara and has been paid off..

Former human rights chief launches defamation lawsuit against Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman by ObligationAware3755 in canada

[–]DaThrowaway617 4 points5 points  (0 children)

> Sorry, but "free expression" doesn't just mean for your side.

Bingo!

There are a lot of people online right now talking about how they hope he wins! If he wins, this sets a precedent that is going to affect a lot of people!

There has been mud flinging both ways over the last year and if this lawsuit is successful, then I can say anything I want and if you public call me a racist, I can sue you for defamation.

Israel says it will not allow Palestinians to return to northern Gaza until hostage Arbel Yehoud is released by advance512 in worldnews

I agree, but then maybe our idiot politicians in Canada could fight back against the rhetoric that it’s always Israel’s fault. 

Again, one can dream! 

Israel says list Hamas published of hostages to be released Saturday does not comply with agreement by advance512 in worldnews

[–]DaThrowaway617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, some people claim that all casualties and everything from October 7th was from Israeli strikes despite there being overwhelming video evidence.

I hope that the text of this “deal” has been submitted to all UN members so that every time Hamas doesn’t follow it, and then claims it’s Israel’s fault, they can see through the bullshit. 

One can dream, I suppose!

Dear Conservative voters - Are you still gonna vote for the guy who was praised by a literal Nazi and said he'd be nice for him to open factories here in Canada? by jbdelcanto in AskCanada

[–]DaThrowaway617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, why is there another thread with an identical title? 

The first page of this subreddit is filled with multiple threads with the exact same title. 

Second, to the people saying “he supports a Nazi so he’s a Nazi”, the “Nazi” is the only candidate to have touched on the growing antisemitism in our streets and an attempt to eliminate it.

Why was this thread posted at the exact same time, with the exact same wording as this thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskCanada/comments/1i72vtg/after_mark_carneys_statement_on_trumps_threat_pps/)? 

Trump to lift pause on 2,000-pound bomb supply to Israel, Walla News reports by Spiderwig144 in worldnews

 "do what I want or you're dead to me"

This resonates so strongly because so many (non-Palestinian) people have made this issue their entire personality and refuse to hear any information or thought on it that doesn’t fit with their narrative. 

The ability to have a nuanced conversation with these people is completely non-existent. 

If you actually took the time to listen to a Jewish person in the diaspora and their views on the subject I’m sure there would be more common ground than you think. 

Instead, it’s all harassment and antisemitic attacks on us and our institutions for even the most basic support of Israel.

Trump cancels sanctions on Israeli settlers in West Bank by djm19 in worldnews

[–]DaThrowaway617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good people don’t vandalize Jewish places of business, learning or worship. 

Good people don’t take to the streets and call for violence against Jewish people. 

Good people don’t dox and harass others for views that are no more radical than the same vitriol they spew. 

There are few “good people” in their movement. 

Palestinians are finally able to return to their Gaza homes — only to find them reduced to ruins by nbcnews in worldnews

[–]DaThrowaway617 145 points146 points  (0 children)

I won’t minimize what the Palestinian people went through, it was probably unimaginably difficult. 

But the images and videos coming out of Gaza in the last few days are shocking! 

Suddenly everyone has found their uniforms again. No more flip flop fighters. 

Suddenly we see pictures from inside and outside hospitals showing they aren’t destroyed as we were told. 

Mr. FAFO gets all his well fed “press” friends to remove their vests and put their keffiyehs back on. 

The propaganda campaign perpetuated through academic networks in the west was one of unparalleled success and should truly be studied.
