"Israel's self-defense against terrorism" IS TERRORIZING/MURDERING CIVILIANS
You won't believe how many pro genocide is there on my neighbourhood facebook group alone. I should remind you that canada allowed the selling of land in occupied west bank in synagogues
That’s some serious editorialising in that there blurb.
It's pretty messed up that an American company owns canada.com
Funny. Canada's supoort of genocide is a dangerous endorsement of violence and hate.
Have they banned Turning Point USA, too?
The violence has been ongoing for years. Decades.
These headlines with a snippet of an unattributed quote mashed together with an actual headline are starting to rival "X person DESTROYS Y person by saying Z" for the most aggravating writing style.
Folks will panic at the sight of the wrong flag, while wearing the Union Jack on a breast pocket without an ounce of self-awareness
You’ll forgive the Irish in Northern Ireland for believing that some people won’t be treated as human beings without a bit of violence first.
This Gasparro dude used to be a board member of Postmedia.
In July, a group of First Nations leaders called on the federal government to close the borders to the rappers, insisting that allowing them to perform violates the “spirit and obligations” of treaties between FN and the government.
This is also interesting.
But in general, we don't have very strong free speech protections so I wouldn't be surprised if they remain barred.
“Kneecap represents not only a threat to the Jewish community, but their incitement, their glorification of terror, represent a threat to all Canadian values and to all Canadians,” Robertson said
Not my values you fascist shit bag.
Remember that american christian MAGA singer two months ago? 🤪
1:1 eh? I guess. 😄
You mean the MAGA singer who had a sold out show in Toronto.
We banned Eminem at his peak, we're dumb as fuckin rocks on these subjects.
A festival was held in Toronto about a month ago in support of Israel, wow crazy that Canada approved such a dangerous endorsement of violence and hate.
No problem with publicly supporting perpetrators of a genocide, right?

Who are we to judge people how they resist their occupier. Canada certainly is not in a historical posture to pitch in on how to resist genocide.

Hezbollah actively supported the Syrian military occupation of Lebanon. A brutal occupation that lasted longer than the Israeli occupation. Hezbollah killed many Lebanese political figures including the most famous one, Rafik Hariri.
To defend Bachar El Assad, they slaughtered sunnis across Syria.
The judge investigating the Beirut Port Explosion ? He receive death threats from Hezbollah.
Let's not white wash their bloody crimes.
That's fair, since they're on the record as endorsing groups that are recognized by the Canadian government as terrorist entities:
A 2024 performance reportedly caught a group member cheering “Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah.”
To be even more fair; you're directly quoting misinformation released by the Canadian government in support of Israel and their mass murder of Palestinian people (aka, genocide). This misinformation is a result of "Jewish" groups, which recently have shown themselves as basically being lapdogs for the Israeli state.
Kneecap aren't anti-semetic, they are anti-Israel and as much as Israeli fascists want it to be; being against the Israeli state is not the the same as being against Jews.
Yes because people in power have always made decent decisions. The law is moral and might makes right…
I'm not sure what you mean by that comment - are you saying Hamas and Hezbollah are OK? I wouldn't welcome a band that praises the IDF, and this is no different.
Hamas and Hezbollah are OK?
Where did I say this?
Hasbara-brained dummies will remember you saying whatever they want, without evidence.
They got marked as zionist.
How, they equated Hezbollah to the IDF. Regardless of any arguments about equivalence or lack thereof, I don't think a zionist would ever do that.
They could be misinformed.
Some people here think everything is a Marvel movie with one perfectly good side and one perfectly bad one. Any deviation from that and they slap you with the "bad guy" label. Only a complete moron would read my post and interpret it as meaning I'm a zionist.
Ofcourse you go silent as soon as someone directly asks if you support October 7th... Coward.
I don't think you can take a single live artististic performance as "being on the record for endorsing" anything.
Eminem wasn't endorsing everything in his lyrics.
Yes, like I said.
Me, an intellectual, looking at a guy wearing a Hezbollah flag and saying up Hamas, up Hezbollah: "actually that doesn't prove he likes Hezbollah"
The band said on Monday “let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah.”
“We condemn all attacks on civilians, always,” the band said.
I find it hard to reconcile that with the video, but if they are willing to publicly apologize for it then they should be allowed into Canada.
It's really easy to reconcile that with the video. It's called watching the atrocities that Israel commits, and getting angry enough that you say something you don't entirely mean or haven't entirely thought through.
This seems a foreign concept to many folks here and elsewhere online, but somehow I've managed to be horrified by Israel's genocide and want to end it, without ever thinking "you know what, the literal terrorists on the other side are good actually, death to Israel and all Jews".
Oh wow! I'm so glad to hear that! We all care sooo much about your personal experience with anger!
Thank God the way that you get angry and emotional, is the exact same way that everyone else does, in every single situation!
Whew, for a second there I thought we might have to use the power of remembering times when we were extremely angry and said things we didn't mean, and try and combine that with empathy to apply it to the current situation, but thank God we don't because /u/Cyrus here has explained that he's never said anything he didn't mean out of anger. So obviously everyone else must be the same in every situation.
Thank you cyrus, we all believe your words sooo much, and definitely don't just think you're a brain dead dumbass.
FYI what you're advocating and defending here is textbook abuser behaviour, so rather than belittling others you may want to get counseling.
Lmao, tell us you spend all your time on the internet without telling us you spend all your time on the internet.
Go outside. Experience real human interaction.
In abusive relationships, abusive partners often apologize but are unwilling to make changes or behave differently. We see them using “sorry” as a child might; to make the situation okay without facing the consequences of their choices. We even hear abusers using apologies to manipulate their partners and avoid taking responsibility for their actions. Some common phrases abusers may use include, “I’m sorry I hurt you, but you shouldn’t have gotten me so angry,” or “I didn’t see healthy relationships growing up and don’t know what to do, I’m sorry.” While this may sound like an apology, it places the blame elsewhere instead of on the abuser’s choice.
Research and outcomes of partnerships in various contexts, including intimate partnerships, have shown these self-centered approaches do not drive collaboration, a core factor in healthy partnerships. Only when an abusive partner takes accountability for their actions and begins steps to prevent the behavior in the future (I.e., battering or counseling focused on changing the abusive mindset) can they begin to make amends.
