    A rally for Palestine on the anniversary of Oct. 7th, that deliberately ignores what was done to Israelis then, truly shows how deranged these people must be.

    >“Palestinians are humans too,” Zeid said. “That’s all they want is to live their life and to feed their families and to live in dignity and **peace and harmony with everybody else**.”

    This Zeid may believe this, but unfortunately, the government in Gaza, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, want to kill or drive out every Jew “from the river to the sea.” They’ve been open about this and have sworn to do this.

    It’s a little hard to see how this qualifies as “peace and harmony with everybody else,” unless they don’t count Jews as part of “everybody else.”

    The day after massacre a bunch of Palestinians were celebrating it on the pedestrian bridge over lakeshore near Exhibition Place in Toronto. This is beyond me, I get Israel has done massive war crimes after that, but why the hell they celebrated mass killing right when it happened…

  4. Palestinians living on treaty 1 land, waving their own flag and complaining about colonialism makes my head spin.

  6. The irony of protesting about ‘genocide’ on the anniversary of your own sides attacks on innocent civies.

    Edit 2: Sorry, I actually meant to say let’s send $20 trillion to Israel and let’s take in all the Palestinians here so Israel can relax.

    Edit: I misspoke about Gaza settlements, but West Bank and other regions are accurate, also Canada does not recognize them as legal either: “Canada does not recognize permanent Israeli control over territories occupied in 1967 (the Golan Heights, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip). […] Israeli settlements in the occupied territories are a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.” https://www.international.gc.ca/world-monde/international_relations-relations_internationales/mena-moan/israeli-palestinian_policy-politique_israelo-palestinien.aspx?lang=eng#

    Unironically, what exactly did people expect as a response to Israeli settlements?

    As Israel continued to set up illegal settlements in the West Bank & Gaza and violate private property what exactly did you expect to happen (both Canada & the US recognize those settlements as [illegal](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_Israeli_settlements#:~:text=Israeli%20settlements%20in%20the%20Israeli,in%20breach%20of%20international%20declarations)) If somebody is literally stealing your home, violence is only the most logical reaction.

    Granted, Palestine by the same token shouldn’t be surprised at the retaliation by Israel in return.

    None of this is shocking or impossible to rationalize.

    Hey no problem I totally get it, so have the got their luggage ready, passport and remember to be at the airport 90 minutes before their flight leaves. It’s so admirable of them to volunteer to fight for their country

  9. Due to the date I would say it’s a pro Hamas rally not Palestinian, as that horrible attack did no favours to the Palestinian people

  10. Seriously, even if you *were* a person who was opposed to the actions of the government in Israel and had no ill will towards Jewish people, why the heck would you be holding a protest so close to October 7th? It’s incredibly tone-deaf.

  11. At the end of the day, most Canadians couldn’t care less about the mindless conflicts stirred up by extremists overseas, whether it’s terrorists or radicals blinded by their delusional faiths. We’re just trying to get by with our overpriced groceries and sky-high taxes, thanks to actual issues at home. The last thing anyone here wants is to be dragged into chaos that has nothing to do with us. If these extremists want to fight over ancient grudges, that’s on them. We’ve got potholes to fix and hockey games to watch. Let’s leave the senseless wars to the zealots who seem to think violence will solve everything. This chaos is not and has never been our responsibility.
