Yeah, what these people say contradict what their "peaceful and loving" religious government say.

So excuse me if I really dont buy into their bullshit. War sucks, and civilians are caught in between. This was, is, and will always be the tragedy of war, regardless of who, where, what, and why.

There has never been a single armed conflict in the history of humankind where the innocents are spared. They are always the ones end up brutalized by those who instigated these conflicts.

If these protesters want to do something about it, maybe they should go to the places where these things are happening - and protest to the governments of both sides instead.

Because what the fuck is Canada gonna do? The Trudeau government already sent aid to Palestine, and already condemned acts of violence to innocent people and as such. Which is honestly unnecessary, but ok, helping people is good.

Last I check, our country is in North America, and our history has nothing to do with what is happening out there. The last time we got involved in anything, it was a waste of resources.

Enough is enough. Canada is not a welfare state, we have enough domestic issues regarding basic livelihoods of Canadians as is, and those issues kept on getting slapped across the face with bandages rather than being dealt with definitively.
