      The year is 2024, we stuffed a group of people into reservations and federally announced that we don’t need to provide clean drinking water to the people forced into those reservations. You mentioned that yourself.

      Just because there’s no bullets flying does not mean these people aren’t suffering. Physically, mentally, it’s pain for them. I stand by my statement.

      The yikes should be pointed at those to enable these horrifying actions. The yikes should be pointed at those who refuse to acknowledge these horrifying actions.

      Canada is genocidal. From Indigenous peoples to supporting the genocide of Palestinians, Canada is genocidal.

        A) There is no current genocide in Canada B) I refuse to talk about there being a genocide in gaza because there is no bi-partisan news coming from there

          So you’re a genocide denier regarding Indigenous peoples, and you rely on bipartisanism to accept that Palestinians are being systematically eradicated?!

              Doubling down on genocide denial of still-existing settler-colonialism within America, and calling the genocide in Gaza “muddled” to absolve Canada of its grave sins domestically and abroad. Do some self-crit.

                  Yep, more than you do evidently, both Israel and the “Plastelines” as you call Palestinians.

                  Israel’s century-long existence is as a settler-colonial apartheid state backed by Nazi Germany, and currently commits genocide to expand territory and project Western power in the area to secure the Petro Dollar. Its existence endanger Jewish diaspora by fostering hatred for itself, a practice intentional to fuel the narrative that it is “the only safe haven for Jews in the world.” Furthermore, Israel is antisemetic towards Yiddish speaking Jews.
