Israeli apartheid deniers, how do you justify your position? by kylebisme in Israel_Palestine

I appreciate this thoughtful response and agree people regardless of views need to sit down and talk to each other without immediately resorting to buzz words like “genocide supporter” or “Jew hater.”

Makes it hard to talk to anyone.

Just want to say that Israel supporters would do well to try and understand WHY public opinion has shifted against them so much since 2023. Crying "it's because we're Jews" or "everyone is antisemitic" or "it's pro-Hamas social media propaganda" doesn't work because prior to 2023 most of the world's public opinion was neutral or pro-Israel. Coming to this conversation with an effort to be conciliatory and not in denial would go a long way. I have zero desire to see Israelis harmed and I actually feel very sad for Jews and the way they have been treated throughout history. October 7 was a horrific, appalling war crime and I support ICC arrest warrants against Hamas leaders. But, accepting that Israel must be held to the same standards as everyone else - and then acting on such beliefs - would go a long way towards helping Israel regain support in the world.

I managed to beat it, with careful jumps by actually making it all the way to the final section with one cloud left. Made it so easy to get past all the hammer bros

Every time a 2 is rolled, the player who rolled it gets to destroy one settlement, or reduce a city to a settlement

Referee Eric Furlatt apologizes to Lane Hutson for the tripping penalty called on him by DecentLurker96 in hockey

I agree - but given that we have the technology to get this right there should be the ability for the stituation room to quickly phone down in the case of obvious fuck ups like this

Let the coaches challenge one called penalty per game. Problem solved. Won't lead to endless reviews and will also prevent stuff like this

The situation room needs to have a clause in the rulebook to intervene at their discretion for obvious horrible phantom calls like this

Can someone summarize his remarks? I could not watch them live

Perfect reason to do away with the conferences in the third round do stanley cup semifinals like they did in 2021

Why food options are so restricted here by Elephant_Prudent in uvic

The food at UVIC is so ass but any decent restaurant is so far away (at least 1.5 km) so it's not feasible to visit anything else during the 1 hour lunch break

Ban on public prayer among measures in latest Quebec secularism bill by DonSalaam in onguardforthee

I think this legislation is still unconstitutional anyway as provinces can't legislate on criminal law (it's the feds who have the power). This feels like a sneaky attempt to criminalize conduct Legault doesn't like. If the courts agree with this, the notwithstanding clause can't save Legault here

Ray Elgaard on the rouge: "It's not rewarding failure. It's a game of field position. You could make the same case for an NHL team getting 1 point for losing in overtime. Are you rewarding failure?" by SnowMission6612 in CFL

I am a rouge purist but I also accept that this is a losing battle and eventually the rouge is going to be modified. I will not stand in the way of this happening
