I just don't get how this can be forgotten about and swept under the carpet by the world.

 

Wars have been started over less.

 

I get that Palestine is hurting right now but what did they expect?

 

Their LEADERS expected exactly what they got. An overreaction from Israel causing tons of media exposure, recruiting, and fundraising opportunities.

Civilians on both sides are fodder.

You really think they're doing this to get the lefties riled up? Not because they want to infuse Christian Nationalism into American politics? 

All it will do is motivate the unaffiliated to vote against him. Lefties will be laughing all the way to the white house

Does that give them an excuse for the surge in antisemitic incidents in Canada? Did these Canadian Jews have anything at all to do with any alleged incidents in Gaza?

What the article purposefully failed to mention is there has been an equal rise in Islamophobia in Canada and anti Muslim attacks.

People on both sides are behaving badly in Canada. Canadian Muslims and Jews should not be the targets of anyone's anger.

You're telling me that Canadian Jews led a one-sided assault on Gaza killing thousands of Palestinians? This is incredible! How did they get there and get on the front lines?

Huh? Did you misread that badly?

Canadian Muslims didn't commit the atrocities of Oct 09 either.

What is your point exactly?

There are actually real people that get paid a living wage for doing that? WOW, it sure beats working in a real job.

I sure went down the wrong path in life when I could have done that instead of doing hard work all my working life.

Even better a chemical engineer friend of mine got paid very well for working in a giant multinational's test brewery, which, obviously, involved bring samples home for his friend's reactions. 

Lots of jobs out there, many seem easy to the uneducated. Too bad you were unhappy with yours.

Apparently from your statement., 

OK. I'm gonna say you are correct. But I do need you to explain to me why you think there is a unified "American" culture, when to everyone else in the world it looks as though you have a widening cultural and political dichotomy?

I am Canadian, but grew up 20-ish Kms from the border. If I am not "familiar" with American culture, no one is.

No it would not because it would not be true. 

Apparently you are not familiar with american culture,

The "evaducated " is a common theme in comedy made of those with little education. 

I'm not familiar with American culture 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The "evaducated' comment was as me being kind to trumpers and using their language , nuch like trump does. 

Ah, so you use the same excuses as 45. 🤪

Wouldn't it have been easier/better to say it was a typo?

But no, it was your sly, understated satire, eh?

That's OK, he's got 4 more years to redeem himself.

Curious... What would 45 do in a second term to redeem himself in your opinion?

Opinions cannot be forced upon people. 

This is an open forum and we can most definitely use debate and rhetoric to change people's minds. This goes back much further than medieval times 😏 no one is "forcing" anything on anyone.

Holy cow... Back to this thread after a couple of days and it's Groundhog Day 🤣

Don't feed the troll whose entire life is still encapsulated in his hometown and childhood. Feel some empathy for this poor guy and let him be 😂
