I stand with Israel.

It is horrifying. Justin finally weighed in about half an hour ago. Currently having flashbacks. Yom Kippur War started exactly 50 years ago yesterday. I was about 16 hours from home on my way to north of Thunder Bay with a friend of my dad’s on our way to a fishing camp. I had just got my beginner’s license a few days earlier on my 16th birthday and this was a good opportunity to do a lot of driving and share the load. Anyway, anytime that part of the world lit up back then, I would think that there was always the possibility that all could just go for a shit and it actually went through my mind I might not see my family again. Didn’t have that feeling again until 9/11.
Warren,
We have no choice but to stand with Israel. The moment civilians are deliberately targeted by paramilitary or military forces, that party loses any justification it had to attack. In this case, innocent civilians without a doubt are the main target of attacks. Hamas must be condemned in the strongest possible terms and diplomatic and economic reprisals must be the order of the day for the Western democracies and other nations.
This is certainly not the day to debate the question of a fully-fledged Palestinian state and whether it should come to fruition. This is the most difficult question in worldwide diplomacy.
I do as well. I am pleased to hear the M. Trudeau and M. Poilievre have condemned these terrorist attacks.
As for the Bollinger Bolshevik, I won’t hold me breath.
I 100% support Warren and his position. The fight will be tough, but Israel will come through this stronger. Our government needs to pledge unconditional support and provide Israel with anything it needs.
Warren,
I can’t take it anymore. I refuse to look at the pictures on CNN any longer. The sheer inhumanity of those so-called fighters, the way they could so casually kill women and other civilians. I don’t care about the merits of a Palestinian state. This war proves that a two-state solution is definitely not for now. It is quite literally decades and decades away. That is as it should be, given the pure EVIL perpetrated by Hamas.
Damn square, we support Israel. And with equal determination fight back against the narrative being peddled by some Canadians that Israel had the ambush coming to them. That is a perverted view of reality on the ground.
Palestinian leadership has rejected every opportunity to sign a peace agreement with Israel and hide behind the very people they purport to represent: people looking for a permanent home and a peaceful life.
The hits just keep on coming for these clowns:
“A joint statement on Israel from 5 allied nations, which happen to be 5 of the G7 countries. The other two being Canada and Japan.”

A supporter of Palestine actually said at a rally that there are no civilians in Israel because they can all serve as soldiers. I wonder if the 85-year-old woman who was kidnapped is also a soldier.
Meh, once the media has given this time to brew the horrifying images of dead Palestinians will appear, people will forget the Jewish victims and public and government opinion will waver when the polls start to slide away from their favor. This Merry Go Round has been rode many times by Israel and will carry on longer then any of us will ever remember. It will be interesting if they give into t public pressure this time and do a swap for the hostage’s giving hamas the victory they believe they rightfully deserve. IMHO
It literally started this morning.
Warren,
Israel issued warnings to Palestinians before bombardment began. How many warnings did Hamas give settlers before breaking into their homes to kill them? None. That’s how many. The nerve of these POS.
