I honestly don't care about the fate of criminals. I fully expect that if I snuck across the border into the US I would get sent home. I wouldn't whine and snivel to try and make the case that they needed to keep me.

And given the hostility towards Israel that's already making waves through the media landscape, just imagine if a popular western journalist is killed, and the original coverage comes from Al Jazeera... Of course the Gazans can make it look like the Israelis killed him. They just need a couple of guys wearing Israeli uniforms and it's a done deal. Is CNN gonna wait for the truth? Search for the truth? Give a shit about the truth? Will they go head-to-head with Al Jazeera to get the truth out while knowing that they're alienating the muslim community? The Israelis can't afford to suffer a propaganda bloodbath. The lives of 10M people are at stake. Left4rds here don't know this, but if Israel loses a war there, all 10M of them will D-I-E and the Arab world will be thrilled about it.

Idjit. FYI one group has been trying to annihilate the other since day 1 of Israel's existence, you're just too ignorant to look at facts that disrupt your narrative. Who ever said that they should? Do you have an example to cite?

The left4rds haven't been right for decades now. Of course that's inevitable at some point, but that hasn't been the case for the past 15 years, at least.

The UN can go to hell for all I care. They're not the good guys that they pretend to be.

If you wanna go down that road, Jews were also as guilty as anyone of being horrible long before there were Nazis. Not all Jews, and not all of the time, and the same can be said for anyone. We've (including our distant ancestors on various continents) all had our moments in the distant, or even near, past. If we wanna pick and choose what dates in the past we wanna focus on and which ones we wanna ignore then we can all hate everyone else, and say that we're perfect. At the present time, Jew-hatred is at a fever pitch among a lot of the various sects in the left4rd community.

Says the guy who pretended to see a sea of swastikas and confederate flags. FYI intellectual honesty is not something that you'd ever be accused of. Stop it, Mike. The most conservative thing about you is your pink miniskirt. Fixed it for ya. Jealous?

What in the mouth-breathing, left4rd hell are you prattling on about now, blackbird? FYI deporting undocumented migrants is lawful & normal (leftists thought that it was cool when Acrock O'Blahblah was doing it), and it is done in support of low-income Americans who compete with them for jobs and housing Who are all these people being seized and abused? Are you talking about Freedom Convoy protesters? Because more of them were wrongfully seized and abused than illegal immigrants.

Normally it's just assumed that "all hate crimes against Jews come from white conservative males", because it's customary for left4rd publications to slander white males, but we all know that the vast, vast majority of hate crimes against Jews are committed by either muslims of leftists. TBH, it's not like Jews haven't participated in the slander of white males, but that's not gonna make me sympathetic to the people who want to see them slaughtered.

CO-rrrrect. But it's not a big mistake to call out people who are acting like Nazis, which isn't out of character for leftists in this day and age.

The left lies and smears Jews. The left ignores the plight of Jews who are the subject of threats, intimidation, and even violence. The left yells chants about genocide in Israel. The left protects the rights of islamists who dog-whistle overtly call for genocide against Jews. With "friends" like you, who needs enemies?

Are you really that simple, Spanky? You think that there's just one possible explanation and nothing else? How about this: The Israelis know exactly what will happen to "legitimate journalists" who venture into Gaza: they will just become more meat shields that the Israelis have to avoid or hostages that they have to rescue. Also, what's a "legitimate journalist from the CBC", Spanky? Or from CNN? Or from NYT? I wouldn't trust those losers to write about my dog. Would you? If a 12 yr old muslim girl accuses you of cutting off part of her hijab, do you think that CBC or CNN are gonna give a "McFarland" a fair shake? Do you think that a Liberal PM would miss the opportunity to call you a racist and a religious bigot in that scenario? If you do, then I have a bridge to sell you.

Look at the lefties here trying to shift the topic away from the carney's abject failure, and make this a conversation about Cdn Fox. FN leaders said it was a disaster, and even called it colonization V2.0. If that's how they feel, and some of them have the power to veto energy projects, and all of them can heavily influence others who do, then the summit was a disaster. It was a disaster, period. Just like everything else that Carney has had a hand in since he was appointed PM.

islamic state didn't lie about killing journalists, they bragged about it. They posted the severed-head videos online as part of their recruitment campaign. And it worked. The difference between Hamas and islamic state is just branding and a bit of honesty. They are both motivated by the exact same thing, and their intentions are equally evil.

IMO it's 99.9%. Iran wants needs a pile of dead Gazan children so that they can foment hatred against Israel. And I can promise you that if there weren't dead Gazan children, Iran would kill them and place their bodies in front of cameras themselves, along with their crying moms. Anyone who thinks that Iran doesn't want to see thousands of dead Gazan children is an id10t.

Here's the view of Israel and Palestine from 50,000 feet. Since the very first day of Israel's existence, the goal of the Palestinians and most of the muslim countries surrounding them has been a complete genocide against them, just like the one that the Pakistanis inflicted on 8M Sikhs and Hindus 8 months earlier, which every Arab country is happy about No one knows exactly how Israel would respond to a legitimate offer of peace because that has never been on the table. Hamas and Iran remain openly committed to genocide against Israelis, and other Arab nations don't condemn such inexplicable hate speech from their brothers Israel has never committed an actual genocide against Palestinians, despite their ability to conduct one. The CBC is saying "Israeli claims are being challenged" because that's the greatest extent that they can slant that particular story. You could say that any claim is being challenged if you wanted to. Even the spherical earth "theory".

100%. The people with the most at stake on any topic are the ones who try the hardest to influence them. Look at all of this bullshit about Canada from Amnesty Int'l: https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/americas/north-america/canada/ It's in paragraph form, but I put it in point form here to make it easier to break down: Systemic racism and discrimination against Black and racialized people persisted. Two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual (2SLGBTQQIA+) people faced discrimination and violence. Indigenous land defenders were criminalized for protecting their ancestral territory violence against Indigenous women continued the fate of Indigenous children remained unresolved. Migrants’ and refugees’ rights were violated. Canada did not meet emissions targets. Now that you know what Amnesty Int'l has to say about Canada, how much do you value their opinion? It's a joke, top to bottom. If someone said that shit to my face I would spit on them.

The OP wasn't hysterical, and your link doesn't even come close to proving anything. Your 4th point is a false dichotomy fallacy, MH, mirroring the logic of the "You can't prove to me that the universe was started by the Big Bang, so it had to have been God" argument. FYI the climate is changing because "the climate has always been changing". Our shamin' shamans are doing what they've always done: they're trying to control us by using the weather as a threat. How does this little condescending drivel strike you: "5,000 years ago the shamans could trick unsuspecting followers into believing the world was in peril so that they could bend them to their will, but you're much smarter than they were, so you can't be tricked. Do all of these things for me and the world will be safe.

In general, leftists either ignore threads where there's too much information or they switch the topic to "who is poopier". I don't think that bot is so different from any of the other left4rds.

I don't think I have ever seen a more coherent-seeming yet ret4rded post. TBH, you nailed the classical definition of conservative, but today conservatives are just "anyone who's not a credulous dolt".

Why are you just blindly regurgitating CNN talking points, Boges? Do you think that a tariff on Chinese steel raises the costs of goods in the US somehow? Is that what you really think? What tariffs are you expecting to hurt the US economy? Tariffs only raise the cost of foreign goods directly. That's it. Sure, it gives US companies an opportunity to raise their own prices, but that also creates jobs in the US, and raises wages there. What's happening right now is the pendulum is swinging back. It's normal. And it's even normal for it to go too far, because things have momentum. FYI covid freakouts exposed some drastic shortcomings in the whole global supply chain system, from America's POV, which Trump, and even Biden, took measures to address. Simply; the US was relying too heavily on foreign countries - even geopolitical adversaries - to make things for them which are absolutely critical to America's economy, their medical system, and even their military. The US relied on China for something like 95% of their pharmaceutical components. Most of the microchips in the world are produced in Taiwan, which could soon be 100% taken over by China. China made most on the 95 masks, etc. China, China, China. So the US is clawing back somewhat, but they are going too far in some areas. The Dems went against America for a long time, and Trump is going a bit too far in putting America first to the point where he's making adversaries out of America's allies.

It's expected that CBC and CTV would lie about wars, it's what news orgs do. They shouldn't be lying about medicine or our own elections, period. They become our enemies when they do that.

Here robo, this is from MSN, a notoriously left-leaning outfit: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/economy/analysis-china-factories-cut-shifts-and-workers-pay-as-us-tariffs-bite/ar-AA1Knr4s FYI when tariffs raise the cost of foreign goods, it protects or even creates opportunities for local businesses to turn a profit. This is a complex, nuanced issue, so I could never fully explain it to someone with your low IQ, Americans just need to be thankful that Trump got elected.

Good gawd, @Boges. For a CNN/CBC cultist to accuse someone else of "changing the narrative" is so f'ing hypocritical that I almost fell off my chair. Can you describe for me how the Russian collusion thing, the bat-pangolin-human thing, and the "elbows up" thing are working out? Does Trump have sore chops or do Canadians have sore asses? If you took a moment to reflect, you'd realize that everything you believed in for the past ten years was total bullshit, and it's absolutely insane for you to instantly believe the CBC's next story with all of your heart and soul. You're that person who caught their spouse cheating on them 50 times but you believe that they're sorry and they'll never do it again.

OK, herbie.
