It's depressing to see people try to optimize the joy out of their life

Also saying it's childish to base moral value on how many days they have stated support for victims while praising Carney explicitly for ignoring Palestinians on a specific day is some wild logic.

200

But each following day that has larger civilian death counts does not get that treatment. Which is part of the problem. Not acknowledging the active genocide, and further stating support for the government that is perpetrating it is immoral. 2/3

300

So this day is sacrosanct because of a horror that took place (civilian casualties by religious extremists), but the following days with numerically larger civilian casualties by another group of religious extremists are not. That's the core point of what I'm saying. This day is seen as sacred 1/3

200

Is there a "moral demand" tomorrow to condemn the IDF for war crimes that followed 10/7, or is it only for today specifically? Is there a "moral demand" for him to make a post May 15th about Nakba/1948 Palestinian War?

100

Yes, and Canada advocating for a two state solution while one state is equipped with high end military gear, actively invading neighbouring countries, calling for the tears of their victims mothers is a fantasy. Believing Isreal would allow a two state solution is either delusional or dishonest.

100

I agree marking it a tragedy doesn't disregard Palestinians suffering, but the statements supporting the Israeli government that set the conditions for the tragedy after we have already seen the horrific response does. Also, the second extremist group in my post are Zionists, not Jews as a whole.

100

Personally I think it's more rude to ignore the longstanding suffering of a group to focus on an event that's been/being used as a catalyst to fuel more suffering for both groups(Palestinians via occupation, Israelis/Jews w/ the rise of antisemitism by claiming Israel's action speak for all Jews)

000

If you think it's rude to point out that our Prime Minister saying he "unequivocally condemns" one religious extremist group while "protecting the right to live in peace and security" of a different extremist religious group is a bad look, then we have different definitions of rude.

200

So are we only specifically mourning Israeli citizens killed by Hamas on Oct 7th, but not the ones killed by the IDF when they invoked the Hannibal protocol to prevent capture? Is it rude to say the perpetrators were only from one side when that is not the case?

Is it rude to ignore tens of thousands dead before, focus on a violent event, and then proceed to ignore tens of thousands dead afterwards? If a guy beat and killed another, but the victim broke the attackers hand, is it rude to say they were beaten and killed? Should I focus on the broken arm?

2. The worst attack against Jewish people since the Holocaust occured in 1976, at the hands of the US-backed right-wing military junta “Dirty War” in Argentina. Estimates of the number of Jews killed are in the range of 2,000–3,000. Get your facts straight you dick

Look into who monetarily supported Hamas via Qatar, helped make it so that no other political party could take root, and had a goal to have Hamas take leadership from the more secular PLO because it would be less popular on a global stage. Spoiler: It's the Israeli government for all three.

240

So I don't personally agree w Hamas tactics, but I won't disavow any and all violence for the same reason I don't disavow the violence from Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion or Louis Riel's Rebellions. When the only tactic that one side listens to is violence, what do you expect the other side to do?

000

Palestinians have a recognized right to resist occupation, by armed struggle if necessary, recognized by the UNGA. Resistance isn't always clean or what we'd call moral from an outside perspective. However, the actions of one extreme group lead directly to the actions of the other extreme group.

100

Making a statement that condemns the actions of a group of Palestinians fighting occupation forces while ignoring both the historical context and actions taken since by the Israeli government justifies violence from Israel and further pushes the narrative that Palestinians deserve this treatment.

Who said "all Israelis should die"? That's not even close to what I'm arguing. The only people who are claiming that all of a group should die due to the actions of a small group within it are the Zionists saying all Palestinians are Hamas. 1/2

210

I agree, and what we are saying is that the Israeli government had been doing exactly that for decades, and only making a denouncement statement to one group when violence is returned is hypocritical. Isreal kills innocents: Safe ally in the region. Palestinians do the same: unredeemable terrorists

000

Israel's actions post oct7th were not a "response", it was a continuation and acceleration of what had already been happening for decades. Israel was aware the attack was being planned, did not attempt to stop it, and issued the Hannibal Directive killing their own citizens to prevent.

Man if he thinks what Hamas did on Oct 7th 2023 is bad, he should look at what Israel did October 8th and onwards, or Oct 6th and before. Peanuts in comparison

Both flood the zone, incentivize investment from American billionaires, give too many subsidies to fossil fuels, and go against their campaign promises. Carney is definitely better than Trump internationally, but his domestic policy is against what he ran on and worth criticism

The post-war "peace dividend" owed its existence to three factors: industrial capacity, political freedom and pent-up demand.

I really hope my fellow Canadians don't accept the low bar that's been American political operatives as a passing grade for our own. Carney's domestic policies are dogwater and would be getting actual pushback if there wasn't a worse example of "Well at least we're not that" to the South.

The funny thing is that this is not even good for datacenters because they are all competing with each other driving up the prices of the limited resources they need to be constructed, and then most of these will be insolvent within this decade. It’s a shit ton of money to throw in the burn pile.

The stranglehold that Carney has over Canadian boomers is honestly kinda freaky. I have yet to ask a question about why people like Carney's policies (not him personally) without getting blocked instantly

How, in your view, does the US president being volatile mean we have to try to eliminate strike rights and incentivize investments from American billionaires with connections to said volatile president? Copying the type of policies that lead them to this destination isn't the move
