In a discussion, you need to expand on that.

Poilievre introduces himself to Biden as the "leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition". Biden, after momentary confusion asks, "Loyal Opposition?" to which Poilievre responds, "We believe that opposition is an act of loyalty in our system." Biden laughs while grabbing Poilievre's arm and remarks, "We do too, unfortunately" before moving on to meet the next person. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/loyal-opposition-video-of-us-president-joe-biden-meeting-conservative-leader-pierre-poilievre-goes-viral-201327602.html [MEDIA=youtube]JrkN9f7hGKQ[/MEDIA] Biden says................................... it's unfortunate to be loyal to democracy. Poilievre's got him confused! ?

This is a better video than the previous one. The expression on the reporter's face is priceless. I like the "gulp." timer 1:56 She's another dull one! Hahahaha - Poilievre's PUBLICLY identifying for whom reporters are working for! This one - Canadian Press. Hahahahaha Lol - it's risky to be a reporter challenging Poilievre!

An introduction by his wife............

Hahahaha - another reporter got hit! Lol - reporters will really think thrice before they bring something up to Poilievre! Hahahaha ?

Israel is among the top 20 global economies in GDP per capita for the first time During this year of crisis Israel managed to make the most of its resilience and position itself among the richest economies in the world. So why is that that we don’t feel so well-off? https://forbes.co.il/e/israel-is-among-the-top-20-global-economies-in-gdp-per-capita-for-the-first-time/ What country has ever managed to do all these in just 75 years? Why Israel — a desert country surrounded by enemies — is outperforming other countries Israel at 75: Israel has no oil, chronic water shortages and many enemies. And yet, it's one of the most dominant nations for its size Among the dozens of new nations founded in the chaotic wake of the Second World War, it’s safe to say that Israel did not make anyone’s list of states most likely to succeed. And yet, by virtually every indicator the state of Israel as it turns 75 in 2023 keeps charting as one of the world’s most dominant nations for its size. As of last count, Israel’s unemployment rate of 3.7 per cent is among the world’s lowest, far outstripping the EU average of six per cent. Its life expectancy of 82.7 years is the planet’s seventh highest. The most recent World Happiness Index had Israel climb to number nine, behind only Luxembourg, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries. It’s a record that most of the developed world can only dream about, including Canada. Despite spending the last 75 years sitting peacefully atop a bottomless supply of everything from petroleum to farmland to hydroelectric power, Canada lags behind Israel on everything from national debt to health care wait times. https://nationalpost.com/news/world/israel-middle-east/israel-outperforms-other-countries

Can you answer this? What makes a nation to be among leading nations?

A must-watch to the end of the whole interview. Mosab Hassan Yousef – who is the eldest son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef – says Hamas “wants to destroy” Israel.“It is not a secret that Hamas wants to destroy the state of Israel. They cannot accept Israel or accept Israel’s right to exist,” Mosab Hassan Yousef told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.“Since its establishment, Hamas has one goal in mind, which is annihilating the state of Israel. ”Mosab Hassan Yousef was a spy for Israel from 1997 until 2007 when he left the West Bank for the US. His father was arrested on October 19 as part of Israel’s crackdown on Hamas following the October 7 attacks.

"Moderate Muslims are more dangerous than fanatics." Timer - 48:46

The son of a co-founder of Hamas blasted the terror organization in a blistering half-hour speech at the United Nations on Monday. Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, defected from the terrorist group in the late '90s and secretly worked with Israel's security services to expose and prevent several Hamas terrorist attacks. He later gave his life to Christ and wrote a 2010 autobiography titled Son of Hamas. Yousef, 45, now endeavors to expose the true face of Hamas' genocidal death cult.

I don't see any problems with Israel bombing them every freaking day! Imho - they shouldn't stop! Got that? Lol - when you're at war - the objective is to win, and to win as fast as you can! Especially when this is about SURVIVAL! Had the tables been turned, you think Hamas would relent? It's goal is to eliminate Israel! To do GENOCIDE! You think Gazans would care? It's either Israel or them. :shrug: Who wants to see terrorists win? I surely don't! Just like what many sane, practical people think - I think Israel is doing PALESTINIANS - and the world - a big favor. Hamas should be dealt with like ISIS.

Lol - there is no limit if tunnels - described as a labyrinth - are running under Gaza. Lol - we might see all of GAZA reduced to rubbles! It's hard to look at Gazans as people when they have reduced themselves to become OBJECTS! They are............... walking shields! That includes CHILDREN and INFANTS - thanks to their parents, and leaders! The devastation and blood in Gaza are all on HAMAS! And Gazans, who had collaborated with Hamas! Be a well-thinking person, marcus. Someone who's rooting for terrorists like Hamas, is just as bad as them. The world - especially PALESTINIANS - will be better off without Hamas.

Did hamas released any of the current hostages yet? That's what we're talking about here, aren't we? The swap that's supposedly about to take place soon? And yes, Israel had released Hamas prisoners (swap) in the past. Stick to the issue! My beef with this negotiation of a swap - how come only 50 hostages held by Hamas compared to 150 held by Israel? Unless they're saying......... an ISRAELI IS WORTH A WHOLE LOT MORE than Palestinians. If that's the case, don't complain about "disproportionate" Palestinians deaths! A thousand dead Israelis are worth perhaps 20,000 dead Palestinians! That's what I get from this!

lol - read his question. It's simple. Hahahahaha You showed me in the other thread you don't know the definition of anti-semite. Don't tell me you've got a problem understanding his question too???

I'm using the term exactly the way it is defined, and understood, meaning anti-Jew: anti-Semitism, (see Researcher’s Note) hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious or racial group. https://www.britannica.com/topic/anti-Semitism You're not gaining any credibility by trying to use that kind of tactic. After reading my posts - what on earth do you hope to gain other than showing everyone in the forum you've got serious comprehension issues! ? hahahaha - anyone using your argument regarding the term "anti-semites" are using an argument based on IGNORANCE. There! There's the definition! You're welcome.

If course, you'd have to know the definition of "collateral damages." injury inflicted on something other than an intended target (Merriam) The nazis hunted down JEWS! How can we say TARGETTED PEOPLE were unintended casualties?

Jews' history has been peppered with a cycle of disobedience to God, punishment, reconciliation, blessing................... Mind you, this is a religious view. I don't expect everyone to believe and accept it.

Don't get me wrong - I'm with Israel all the way! But, we live in a democracy. We'll just have to get leaders who'll choose carefully who we let in to Canada.

When we see thousands of pro-HAMAS supporters rallying on the streets of Canada - that's how we know how our refugee system has really made a big, serious blunder. I've just finished reading THE ISLAND by Ben Coes. Some of the horrific ways the attack has unfolded is quite chilling - as it could easily happen in Canada and other western nations.

When it comes to Israel - I look at things through the prism of the Bible. Numbers 33 50 On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho the Lord said to Moses, 51 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you cross the Jordan into Canaan, 52 drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images and their cast idols, and demolish all their high places. 53 Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess. 54 Distribute the land by lot, according to your clans. To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one. Whatever falls to them by lot will be theirs. Distribute it according to your ancestral tribes. 55 “‘But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live. 56 And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.’” Joshua 17 13 However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they subjected the Canaanites to forced labor but did not drive them out completely.

Emotions are running high. We can't dismiss the fact that we're dealing with human emotions here. Both - Israel and Palestine - have experienced loss and devastation. I can emphatize with a person who's pleading for the life of his loved ones. That's universal. Such is the curse of war. Collateral damages are inevitable.

Hahahaha- that might have a ring of truth to it. ? Lol - what was going in their minds as they watch Hamas digging up and building their tunnels? UNDER THEIR HOMES, SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, AND MOSQUES! What was going on in Hamas' mind as they gave guided tours to journalists - bragging about their tunnels! How can they deny there are no tunnels? Lol - hahahaha - it didn't occur to anyone that if someone wants to get to something that's underneath - they'll have to get rid of what's sitting on top of it? That's just simple common sense! Hahahahaha - and they wonder why they're getting bombed and pulverized?

There are many reasons why Jews have gone to other nations! One is biblical! That's supposed to happen. Another is, liberalism. What groups aren't tainted by progressive/liberal thinking? On the other hand, many Jews have also come home to fight for Israel. https://time.com/6322503/israel-diaspora-war-return-military/
