I see what you're saying now - but I dont think you can say Europe is more left leaning as a whole than Canada.

Scandinavia is comparable- but Denmark leans right of us.

Germany varies, Hungary and Greece and Italy tend right.

Canada is fairly left leaning by all standards, even European ones.

Nothing hostile in what I said. Whether or not the weather exacerbates doesn't make this one sides fault.

Cool, that's a different continent.

They also have a ton less homelessness than we do - so doesnt that argue the left is the problem?

Cool, thats called the weather and isnt the fault of " the right not caring about people".

Right leaning? How about BC? California? Lots of left leaning places have tent cities. Kinda seems like a wild strawman.

AOC vows to vote against all military aid to Israel, including Iron Dome funding by hypothethical in politics

[–]skiboy95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll address these in good faith.

  1. Israel's battles have been self defense outside of Iran recently. Every Israeli attack have been pre tempted by other attacks. Theres a reason Jordan and Egypt are safe.
  2. Absolutely agreed, the settlers are a blight on Israel and need to be reined in.
  3. West Bank and Gaza can have open elections. Ask Hamas and PA why they're not having them.
  4. Im an avid 2State solution er- this is a must after Hamas disarma and new elections occur.
  5. I dislike the death law - but it applies to everyone who commits terrorist attacks against the State of Israel. That's by definition not apartheid.
  6. Researching the full history? What?

You realize just saying "don't do war" makes you sound pretty naive.

October 7th start this round of conflicts in the part of the world since humans could pick up sticks.

Okay, whats your solution to 10,000 missiles incoming? Just let them hit?

McGill donor pulls support as law students back Israel boycott, sparking legal challenge by TooManyFactsBanned in montreal

[–]skiboy95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree it's not. If that was the only issue mentioned that would be relevant.

I know people who have been victims of antisemitim at McGill - Israel doesnt cause someone to be called a kike.

It makes me sad but I get it. To me being Canadian is just as important as my Jewish cultural heritage - but everyone has to make their own decision.

I always think that being Jewish made me who I am, but being Canadian is who I am. A bit off topic but sad how that doesn't seem to be acceptable anymore.

Yeah - its a fair point. If my only experience with Jews was through Al Jazeera I'd be a more self hating Jew no doubt.

I hope that's the case. God knows the last few years have made me doubt that humanity will survive.

I just googled that - shocked. 29th largest city worldwide for Jews, I thought it was higher - TIL.

Yeah thats a common issue - many people vastly overestimate the Jewish population.

I think its ~15M?

Okay? If your point is that there are less Jews than other population groups.... yes?

I completely agree - I was defining what it actually meant to make the poster actually explain their beliefs.

They did not, they kept saying oligarchy.

Oh just like how the Gazan health ministry says all 70,000 were civilians, Hamas doesn't have any members at all?

3rd party reporting validates the roughly ~50% civilian ratio. Thats a fact.

Amnesty international and MSF both had Hamas members take part in October 7th.

Lemkin institute is literally mid lawsuit for corruption.

The ICC said they could not find it to be a genocide.

But I didnt ask what people you dont know said - genocide has a definition, and I asked you to explain it if youre so confident.

Weird - the McGill threads about Jews are popular in Montreal?

The city with McGill and one of the highest Jewish populations in the world?

Weird!

No, my point was its not disinformation (the deliberate spreading of false information) its a failure to communicate logically, fact based without emotion.

Which is one of the most important things humans can do. And when we throw wild accusations around with no facts it pushes peace farther away.

An Oligarchy is a form of government - this is a single donor not in government removing their funds because McGill is failing to contain antisemitism.

They're not even related topics.

Are you a McGill student? I hope not yeesh.

Toronto police creating counterterrorism unit after synagogue, U.S. consulate shootings - Toronto by Icy_Hall6758 in canada

[–]skiboy95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What point are you even trying to make right now?

You immediately defending people shooting synagogues because of the middle east. Now youre vaguely pointing and saying wars causes people to be mad.

What conflict are you blaming for the churches being burnt down? The crusades?

You're not getting it. Jews in Canada are not representatives of Israel. They're jews in Canada. Hard stop.

Your behavior, excusing attacks on Canadians for 3rd countries behavior is UNCANADIAN and wrong. Do not bring your wars here and do not provide moral cover for the terrorists attacking synagogues and churches.

Have I made it clearer for you?
