The really interesting thing about this debate is how difficult it has become for the moderate middle. There are lot of people who, before October 7th (I'm one of them) were "pro-Palestinian" in that we all scratch our heads wondering "Israel, what the fuck are you doing with these settlers...

Again, I really feel like you're calling me a Liberal.

Oh it is and percentage wise it's frightening and I hope the government (regardless of who it is) starts taking more serious measures to address this.

Wait, are you calling me a Liberal? The "30 encampments" includes things like the 2 tents at Nick Meagher Community Park. You claimed there were 30 "Tudeauvilles". I would assume to fit the definition of a "ville", it would need to more than just a 2 or 3 tents in a park, but a significant...

No. consider this post and the maps from the ISW. A victory for the Uks creates a huge buffer zone against Russia that would allow the redeployment of NATO forces from the South Eastern Europe to the Baltic in case of a Russian incursion there:

From what CCP run fake news website are you getting this drivel? You are off by orders of magnitude. There are nowhere near millions of Canadians in food line. There was a total of 2 million individual VISITS throughout 2023. There are nowhere near millions of Canadians homeless and living...

Woops! My bad. I forgot which "Q" I was having at it with today. @QV, apologies. @Quirky, over to you. Any mods want to change the tag on my post, fill your boots.

That's not an opinion, that's a fact, in both raw terms and relative terms. What do I mean in raw terms and relative terms? In raw terms, there are 195 countries in the world. Canada ranks 17th in the Human Development Index. Canada ranks 10th in GDP (nominal), and 16th (PPP). Canada ranks...

I get you guys are trying to be funny, but I don't thinking advocating the murder of protestors is within this site's policies, nor generally civil discourse.

If it hadn't been a win, then a retaliation would be far more justifiable and necessary. This was a deterrent. Iran was just shown two important things: 1. that a huge volley of its most sophisticated weapons are useless again Israel; and 2. That Iran's Arab neighbors are not going to sit idly...

Then get the fuck out and go live somewhere else. Have you ever seen an actual "shithole" country? What kind of fantastical hyperbolic bullshit statement is this? This country has issues, but what country doesn't? I love this country and the people in it (well, most of the people...). We still...

If you're wondering if the CAF will still refuse to provide you a redress of grievance even though you have a clear cut policy that says you are entitled to that redress, just ask anyone regarding business class travel.

It will be hard. It will be bloody. But as long as your expressed intention is not to "Flatten Gaza" and your evaluated actions make it clear that you aren't simply trying to "Flatten Gaza", then even if you do end up basically flattening Gaza, it's not genocide. Look at Cologne, Hamburg, and...

No, that sounds reasonable.

The proposal was literally "Flatten Gaza", not "aggressively pursue Hamas understanding that significant civilian cadulagiris and destruction to civilian infrastructure will occur." There's a difference. One is the harsh reality of fighting Hamas, the other IS genocide.

Alright gents, while we all abhor Hamas, let's not go advocating genocide while speaking out against genocide.

Apparently part of the most recent cease fire negotiation included a request to return 40 hostages. However, Hamas apparently can't support that because of the 132 (123?) remaining hostages they believe around 100 are dead.

Well, yea, that's literally how society works. Would you prefer anarchy? I'm being glib, by the way, so please don't defenestrate me! (I just learned that word today; thanks @Brad Sallows!)

My sincerest condolences; :salute:.

My condolences to your aunt and your cousin. Seriously. As for Spencer, two things. 1. I provided quote form Spencer, yes, but I got those as corroborating "evidence" after the fact. The first account I received of these tactics being used came from military members I know who are working in...
