    Maybe creating an ethno-state wasn’t the best way to prevent genocide after all?

          The genocide needs to stop. Support BDS and No Thanks.

          I’m just talking about history context.

              That’s a fair take, put yourself in that timeframe. WW2 just ended, you’re one of the world leaders and you learned all about the “final solution”.

              what do you do? how do you prevent another genocide of the Jews?

                Give them sanctuary with protected status in your own country rather than driving other people out of some other country.

                  Bit of an idealistic answer but I like it.

                  Points for consideration, there were a handful of ships full of Jews during WW2 seeking asylum. It’s widely believed that world leaders knew of or suspected that the Holocaust was murdering Jews around the time those boats were rejected for asylum.

                  Additionally, even after people knew the details of the Holocaust people still didn’t really like Jews.

                  how would you account for those points?

                  also thank you for engaging with me on this. I’m genuinely enjoying our conversation!

                Zionism did not start with WW2. Nor the migration of jews to Mandatory Palestine.

            While I agree the liberals are problematic currently on Palestine, Zionists and fascists will not divide and conquer Canada.

            Yeah, our government has been an absolute joke lately. We do have our fair share of neo nazis but that incident was pure incompetence.

    Sometimes I wish there really was a higher power watching over this kind of thing, but I don’t think anything like that exists. Probably all those evil people will die old and peacefully. It’s not fair.

    they’ve got almost every single monied interest behind them; the last times that the stars lined up like that for anything we got this and another country that have lasted the last few centuries.

      You can advocate for dismantling the Israeli ethnostate without advocating for genocide of Israelis! Fun fact
