What the heck are you talking about? I'd rather be a d*ck than a p*ssy.

Irgun didn't "become the IDF", it was absorbed into it. Your false claim gives the impression that it had control over the IDF, which it did not. Irgun was a fringe group whose tactics and ideology were rejected by the mainstream Zionist leadership at the time they existed. Menachem Begin was PM of Israel 30 years after Irgun ceased to exist. Instead of terrorizing Palestinian Arabs with violence he negotiated the Camp David accords, signed a peace treaty with Egypt and normalized their relations, and gave them back the Sinai peninsula, for which he won a Nobel Peace Prize for. For some reason you continually make false claims that exaggerate or lie about the terrorism committed by Zionist Jews and yet stay pretty mum on the terrorism committed by Palestinian Arabs and their allies the last 100 years. Your western guilt won't allow you to not have double-standards.

Western leftists seek the destruction of western civilization, whether they even realize it or not. Modern leftism contains some terrible morality and some terrible ideas, so bad that modern leftism is likely the biggest threat to western civilization that has ever existed. Not all of their ideas aren't bad though. There's destructive conservative ideas too, some that are cruel to people. However, at the end of the day it's better to be too cruel than be too weak as leftists are. Why? Because cruel people and cruel societies survive and weak people and weak societies don't. This is an iron law of nature and evolution across species and across time, you can't survive if you're unwilling to defend yourself. I'd rather survive and sometimes be called a d*ck than cease to exist.

Kirk's murder is very disturbing but the comparison to MLK Jr is ridiculous. I wouldn't be naming any streets after someone who helped Trump lay the groundwork for his coup attempt by spreading the false conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was stolen.

That's untrue.

Things politicians say are irrelevant since they often deal in lies to persuade. We should only consider their actions. So let's see what he does.

LOL. Even if this were true, which it's not, it's still horribly racist. Nobody should ever be admitted to or rejected from a school because of their race. When I go to the doctor I couldn't care less that their skin colour is, which is the whole point.

You don't have a "choice" to take back your own citizen, per the UN Charter. Bring him in a US battleship and drop him off at a port and let Cuba "refuse".

The Liberals don't care what Canadians actually want unless it costs them votes. Immigration feathers their tax base and, in their mind, increases their voting base vis-a-vis the CPC. Carney just announced 16 billion in funding to address the housing crisis. It's really embarrassing, they always want to throw money at a problem to seem like they're doing something, yet they refuse to actually address the market fundamentals that causes this issue in the first place, which would be free. Pierre should be very embarrassed that he lost to these fools and his party should be furious. PP really let us down.

This is whattaboutism. The political bias of our state media outlet is an issue and needs be rectified. No healthy democracy should have a politically biased news outlet that even sometimes behaves in a partisan manner in its coverage. Those who generally agree with the slant of the CBC obviously don't see this as a problem since it reinforces their beliefs. If you're unable to check your political beliefs at the door if you work at the CBC you shouldn't work there.

Well the difference is that a boat is designed for boating. You're not going to ban or restrict every single object that you could bludgeon someone to death with. A gun, on the other hand, is a tool specifically designed to seriously injure and kill human beings (or other large animals). In Canada there's far fewer gun owners and far fewer shootings. In Japan there's virtually no gun ownership and virtually no shootings. So again, people in a democratic society can choose to live by the laws they wish, but "live by the sword, die by the sword" applies. If Americans are willing to accept the risks of relatively easy and widespread gun ownership that's their choice and they live with the consequences of those actions, good or bad.

The business people love illegals, the Democrats non-Trump GOP and don't do a ton about it because they're in the pockets of the corps, and progressives in the US make excuses for and enable illegals and get mad when politicians do something about it.

I mean sure, you can make a good argument about everything you said. Except this is both a terrorist act and an act of gun violence. The cost of the 2nd amendment is very high though. All for the fear of the rise of a tyrannical government and the ability to uprise against it, a situation that hasn't actually happened in the history of the US. Anyways, Americans are free to live in whatever society they choose. I'm just saying Kirk is a victim of it. If a society is armed to the teeth, sometimes some angry or crazy people are going to start shooting. Is there a way we can tell if a forum member is banned, on their profile or something? Don't see anything on Boges's profile to indicate.

Kirk said (paraphrase) that school shooting deaths are the unfortunate cost of the rightful preservation of the 2nd amendment. He didn't deserve to get murdered and this is terrible, but he's a victim of the society he advocates for. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

We should put you in charge. Bubba Joe from the local watering hole can be in charge of the CDC. Could bring back bloodletting in our hospitals too.

Celeb activists say dumb stuff? Colour me shocked. People should listen to the scientific community about science, not Leonardo Dicaprio or internet forum posters.

Criticizing Israel isn't a hate crime. Stabbing people and shooting at schools are. The letter doesn't say criticism is a hate crime or antisemitism

Do you demand the same for what happened on Oct 7? People who support the starving of civilians or murdering and kidnapping innocent people like Oct 7 are monsters.

I know, so maybe if they can stop taking their vaccines and kick the bucket and we'd be better off. I feel bad for their kids but I don't feel that bad for them if they don't want to listen to their doctors. Darwinism's a b*tch.

I dunno, it's like pulling teeth to get you support the condemnation of it. My brother, it doesn't mention anything about protests because it's not about protests. You may want to read the letter again. It only mentions acts of racism and hatred and doesn't infer protests as such, it specifically points out schools being shot at, synagogues vandalized, and the stabbing of the old Jewish lady in the grocery store as examples. I have no idea where you're getting this "legitimate protest" stuff from. If you don't think acts of real antisemitism have increased since Oct 7 you must be huffing some wild BC bud. I've never said anti-genocide or pro-Palestine protests are antisemitism are anything of the sort. I really hope you're knee deep in the bottle this weekend because you're not making much sense sometimes. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here.

Wait I thought the Jew Nazis were the bad guys here and the Muslim Nazis were the victims? You don't necessarily need lefties, just not stark-raving far-right loons and the self-hating far-left types. In other words, reasonable people. Well we can agree on that. People do crazy things when hate and rage and holy books fill their hearts and brains.

What are his thoughts on Hamas and ISIS? His thoughts on Gazans electing a terrorist group for its government after Israel decided to give them back their land? All those who commit war crimes should be prosecuted. All who break international law should be reprimanded. All who commit war crimes are "oppressors". All who spray bullets into Jewish schools are anti-Jewish racists. Give Gazans statehood and let them have open trade and a military armed more than Israel is and we'll see who the "oppressors" are. 10 million Jewish Israelis can't be oppressors if they're all dead. Jihadists don't practice constraint, they fly planes into buildings and blow themselves up in busy markets. They certainly don't care about "international law".

So what do you call it when people pepper a Jewish girls school with bullets and vandalize a synagogue? "Legitimate resistance"? Listen to yourself for f*cks sake. How many asterisks and whattaboutisms are you going to keep adding before you would support such a condemnation?

We could have also condemned racist people for attacking and threatening random Jews in Canada out of anger for things that have nothing to do with them. But that criticism didn't mention other races so...

When certain university groups failed to condemn the attack on Oct 7 in their statements and called those attacks a legitimate form of resistance then those ones are the Nazis. Not all are though. Don't underestimate how psychopathic some of these students and other pro-Palestine supporters are. Some absolutely support Hamas. I've known several progressives, even non-Muslims, who believe Oct 7 and the slaughter of innocents that day was a legit form of resistance.
