The end of their tyranny can't come soon enough. Most of us have had it with this horrific behaviour.

When the words and actions of the elites, people and army of a country explicitly state their purpose is to erase another group of people - its history, culture, lives - then this I think qualifies as genocide. The current assault on Gaza and resulting atrocities reminds me of accounts of when the Wehrmacht rolled through Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in 1941. The level of destruction and dehumanization of Jews, Slavs and Roma then is the same as the level of dehumanization of Palestinians now. Remember it’s not only Netanyahu, Gallant and others who are making statements that incite genocide but that 98% of the Israeli public state say the IDF is using sufficient or not enough force in the current assault on Gaza. Only 2% oppose, think about that.

From your rudeness I would say you are an American. In case you still don't know this: America is supporting the ZIO-N-AZIS in this inhumane action - not because the US really cares about israel, no, but because the US already sees the possibilities of encroaching in that are and so expand the nefarious intentions of controlling the entire world. Well...empires come, empires go...and YOUR empire is on the way out...slowly but (thankfully) surely.

I apologize for besmirching the open comment section with profanity.

I have a breaking point when haters that just have to hate cannot see the vacuousness of their rhetoric.

If Vera is a Jew, I would want to dialogue with 'her' about how to foster behavioural change in fellow humans far more than vocalizing a blame game.

Very sorry for the profanity.

It does normalize genocide for some people.

Especially Canadians that bought their Orange Indigenous Reconciliation t-shirt; the recon was not about empowerment, it was about turning the Indigenous from sovereign, independent human beings into "another clique of identity politics walking wallets".

No autonomy; No actual compensation, just fiat, ever-inflationary currency.

I bet 5 billion has been lost to inflation and govmnt rip-offs since the payout.

Canadians don't get it that this is big hush money for the Indigenous, and that the past wrongs have "all been corrected"! The Indigenous do not have the freedom they deserve.

Early on in the bullying and massacre of the Palestinians I was talking to one of my soccer friends who happens to be from Turkey and he referred to what’s going on in Gaza as a genocide. I told him that I didn’t think it was a bonafide genocide but rather a murderous bullying campaign on steroids perpetrated by a group of sociopathic, psychopathic malignant narcissists. Ethnic cleansing - yup. Bonafide genocide? I’m not sure. But if you’re a baby who’s been blown up by a huge bomb dropped on your head the net result is the same. And so it goes…. Allow creeps to run the show…. And…. You end up with a situation that makes a run of the mill catastrophe look like a garden party. It’s truly beyond comprehension. We as a species should be ashamed of ourselves. - Thank you for continuing to speak up!
