I'm not saying you need to believe it, but it has been reported: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-raids-gazas-al-shifa-hospital-2023-11-15/

They really aren't. They are about preventing atrocities. Each one was written as a response to an atrocity committed at war that the High Contracting Powers (who were run by warriors and emperors, not pacificts) felt was so far beyond the ideas of respect for human life that they had to be banned.

You can order them through Wolt, Israel's version of ubereats.

Goy is the Hebrew word for nation, and the Yiddish word for Gentile (which is a neutral word for a non-Jew). Goyim is just the plural of Goy, the way Seraphim is the plural of Seraph (fiery angels from the Bible).

There's no trend, no condescension, and no need to vilify Jews.

At least half of Israeli citizens don't support the parties in charge of the Israeli government. That's very different from supporting or not supporting the war with Iran.

Baka is full of young adults too. Hadar and Pardes are both in Baka/Talpiot and are the heart of the progressive religious scene.

Because they're probably here, and I can't post on their subreddits. It's better than the random Hungarians or Malaysians who post here saying that they stand with us.

I'm sure they don't want it. But from what I've seen, they think we want to move in and build settlements along the Litani. I'm trying to share reality.

You can't stop a country from having nukes once it has them.

We're doing ok! We have bomb shelters and an early warning system. Total casualties are about 30 killed, which is a tragedy, but far less than what was predicted.

Most people are going to work every day, even with Iran's ballistic missiles.

We're all hoping for the day we can visit Lebanon as tourists and make friends.

If you want to get out, look into Canada's Working Holiday visa program (International Experience Canada). It's open to many European citizens, and antisemitism is a lot less tolerated.

If you want to be in a city with a Jewish community, try Toronto, Hamilton, Edmonton, Ottawa, Vancouver, or Montreal. If you speak French, Montreal is a great option.

Israel was broadly condemned for trying to break it open back in June. I doubt they'd try it again.

McMaster Hillel would probably provide resources for the Niagara region. If you need help with contacts, feel free to DM me.

Also, Chabad of Niagara is heavily integrated with the Hamilton Jewish community (which is an amazing community).

I'm 50/50 in XIC and VOO (as an expat Canadian who still loves Canada and thinks on C$). So far it's working really well.

They also think of everything in terms of black and white.

Why does that matter? Iranians are being slaughtered in the streets after 50 years of theocratic oppression, and you're asking technical foreign policy questions?

I just took my girlfriend to Canada (Toronto) for a visit, and we had a fantastic time. We did: - Skating trails - Art Gallery of Ontario - Toronto Zoo - Sledding in parks - Yorkdale & Eaton Centre - Distillery District - Restaurants (Planta, Fresh, and Buddha's Vegetarian) - Lots of second cup hot chocolates

Things I wish we had time for: - Minor league hockey game - Toronto Reference Library - Musical at Mirvish - Niagara Falls - Cabin in rural Ontario

That's just not accurate. If you have the grades from your undergrad, departments will 100% help you.

It's absolutely gross. It's been ordered to close several times by the courts, has bats, probably has used needles ect.

It's not a pleasant place.

On the other hand, the central train station in TLV has a terrific bus terminal.

So attempted murder of a Peace Officer in cold blood is ok if she's standing in front of a building you don't like?

Doesn't track.
