The recognition came amid an international push to end the violence that began with a Hamas-led attack in Israel that killed 1,200 people and took more than 250 others hostage on Oct. 7, 2023.

It's just nuts that organisations like the CBC continue to parrot this sort of thing, like Gaza hasn't been under violent occupation for generations.

    Right? Sure the Oct 7th attack was bad. But fuck man, the Palestinians have been getting massacred by Israel since the start in 1948. Maybe even before that.

    Maybe they should use the Nakba next time as a point of reference and talk about how many Palestinians were killed, kidnapped, maimed, raped and so on since then.

    The CBC is correct though. The international push was primarily motivated by the Israeli response to oct 7 specifically. If things had continued as they were before oct 7, I doubt we'd see this kind of international push. Sure, there was activism, but it was not to the scale we've seen since oct 7.

    In Toronto, I passed a guy on the train today carrying a giant rolled up Palestine flag :) Happy to be here right now

    I'm glad at least the rest of the world is starting to turn, but the stage is ripe for WW3

    I guess Post Media is going to have to do a huge Zionist push to try and keep the Boomers in line.

    As the article says, there are different flags flown there all the time, including the Israeli flag, the arguments against flying the Palestinian flag specifically don't make any sense. I'm unfortunately out of town now, I would have loved to be there.
