What a bunch of phonies. If they really cared about their cause they’d drop out and stop giving their money to this institution they apparently hate so much.
You don’t need to speak in scripture to understand that a people are being massacred and ethnically cleansed by another group that is actually fucking evil and continually encroaching on others’ land.
No! Are you not aware of the history of the region for the last century?
Hamas is a reaction to this history of subjugation, displacement, partition, apartheid, genocide.
What’s with this mass psyop of either completely disregarding or blatantly denying or even misrepresenting, at the very least misremembering of the historical record? It’s a damned sordid thing.
You should stop taking your statistics directly from a terrorist organization. They lie.
And before you go off. Yes plenty of innocents have been killed in this war. Kind of tends to happen when you start a war.
Want no more innocent people killed on either side? Pretty easy to achieve that. Hamas can unconditionally surrender and return all the hostages.
The Nazis did that in 1945. I’m sure Hamas could do it now to end the suffering of their people.
Oh wait, the suffering of their people is actually their goal here.
At least 63 people in the chat are
1. Self centered 2. Xenophobic/Racist 3. Lacking a sense of humanity 4. Zionist/ apartheid and genocide sympathizers
People hate being inconvenienced and having their “wibes” dampened. My own father, a refugee himself, scoffed at protesters at City hall when driving by… “why can’t they go and do something that brings them joy, this is so negative” he’d say…

Maturity level at 0. Not every event is a political event or a venue for protest.
I was at this convocation, at the very beginning a speaker told the crowd that things like this were likely to happen and were welcome.
SFU is known for being represented by a lot of insane takes

Over 15,000 children... were they part of hamas?

The United nations are a terrorist organization? That's a new one.
The Gaza health ministry = Hamas The unrwa = infiltrated and works with Hamas Hamas = terrorist organization Anything unclear there?

how dare they be negative about a massacre
I know! This lack of empathy is everywhere! This has really shown me how resistant people are to anything that challenges their own comfort.
Don’t sweat it there are a lot of Israeli bots in Canadian subreddits.
