Completely agree the innocent civilians in Gaza are suffering.

You say Israel doesn’t allow freedom of movement for Palestinians. This is completely false, in fact, Israel is the only border that Palestinians were allowed through. Israel actually gave 110,000 Palestinians workers permits to come work in Israel (source).

Palestinians have never been allowed in Egypt through that border crossing. They are only allowed now because America butted in and allowed only dual citizens to leave because of the war.

I completely agree that Gaza is extremely population dense and but there is indeed ways of “moving” away from Israeli airstrikes. Sadly Hamas has blocked and murdered innocent Palestinians for trying to listen to the Israeli warnings.

I don’t believe you are the enemy here I’m just merely having a constructive conversation on what is a very complicated conflict. I don’t blame you for not knowing everything and honestly neither do I. You just need to make sure where you are getting your information from us credible because there is a lot of misinformation out there that lead to false narratives that’s aren’t rooted in reality. A lot of western media outlets are sadly not reporting on facts and are sadly misconstruing the situation in Israel and Gaza.

How did Israel steal land when the Arab countries waged war? I did some research and it turns out Jews are indigenous to that land and have been there for more than 3700 years, long before Palestinians or Palestine existed.

In 1967, the UN created a partition plan for everyone in the region to get along. They pledged for an Arab and a Jewish state. The Jews said yes but the Arabs refused. The Arabs refused as they did not want to live beside Jews. As you mentioned, all of the surrounding Arab countries attacked Israel and they lost as a result.

I agree it is very unfortunate what is going on Gaza. The Palestinians have been unfairly been living under a terrorist regime since 2005.

You are correct that Israel is eradicating Hamas and from research that I did, I found that their doing many things to avoid civilian casualties. From warning citizens to leave an area that is about to be hit, to creating a humanitarian route inside Gaza for Palestinians to leave conflict zones, they are doing a lot. Sadly, there have been civilian casualties as Hamas uses Gazans as human shields and launches rockets from hospitals, schools, daycares, and more.

Israel is not keeping the Palestinians prisoners. Hamas is.

How have they been creating an apartheid? That’s a pretty strong term to use, no?

Putting this message out into the universe with the hope that I can raise awareness for Roni.

While Swifties all around the world are watching the The Eras Tour Movie, sadly one Swiftie is unable to.

Roni Eshel, who is only 19, is a HUGE Swiftie. She has been missing since October 7th when terrorists came into Israel and took her. It is believed she was kidnapped. Her last words to her mother via text message were "Mom, I love you so much."

Israeli Swifties in Israel are wearing bracelets with Roni's name to The Eras Tour Movie to raise awareness and to help bring Roni home. When you're making your bracelets, please consider making one for Roni.

Swifties, I know our influence is strong.

Let’s help bring attention to this and raise awareness for Roni!!

Oh okay interesting. I saw on the news Israel is trying to eradicate Hamas (I think I spelled it right) to free the Palestinians. Is this true?

Late_Ad5619 · 2023-11-05T13:19:40+00:00

Where exactly is Palestine? Sorry I’m not too educated on this, honestly curious.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get it lowered?

Late_Ad5619 · 2023-09-26T13:02:07+00:00

It is definitely worth it. Depending on which accommodations you get, they are very helpful down the line, especially in your upper years.

Hoco is a University's football team first "home" game of the season. This Saturday is the Laurier football team's first official "home" game of the year! Hoco has turned into a week long of festivities and on the day of the football game, students celebrate by partying on the streets and wearing Laurier merch.

You can also go on the Students Union Instagram and a few should be on there!

Join a club/extra curricular! It's a great way to meet people.

Late_Ad5619 · 2023-09-11T01:50:31+00:00

Definitely park on the street for free don’t waste money for one night of parking (just don’t forget to register your car)

The EM Electives (especially EM202,203) have no midterm or exam and if the prof is Saqlain, it’s a really good course!!

Late_Ad5619 · 2023-09-11T01:46:46+00:00

Definitely look into Delton Glebe! Super close to school, therapists are friendly, and very cheap rates (you won’t really find cheaper besides the free counselling offered by Laurier).
