    The Palestinians I’ve met who moved to Canada, were surprised that I didn’t have horns as a Jewish person. Some less funny stereotypes too but that one was… surprising given the physical proximity of Gaza to Jewish settlements.

    I’ve made some friends with people who came from there, and once they’re comfortable with opening up, what they say about the education over there makes perfect sense as to why the hate continues.

    When you’re teaching kindergarten kids to stab or drive over Jews, not Israelis, Jews there’s not much hope for you to NOT be a terrorist.

    The UN needs to do a better job of deradicalizing the education system over there, how that happens is way beyond my understanding.

    I’m not saying Israelis can’t be assholes, but I’m absolutely positive they’re not teaching that hate in their education system.

      I don’t know about that, but I know they do it in the army: https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2010/aug/17/israel-palestinian-territories

      If Israeli authorities taught Israelis that Palestinians are not sub-human, you would not have all these Israeli Palestinians now being fired from their jobs, and you would not have these shitty photos from that Guardian article, in which this is described as “widespread”.

      Dehumanizing Palestinians is Israel’s first and foremost tool… without it, you cannot make people commit atrocities. Jews were also dehumanized during the holocaust to reach the same result of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

        You think Israel should continue to allow Gazans to cross the border and work in Israel after war has been declared?

        Are you mad? Like are you seriously fucking crazy? They’ve been attacked, first thing you do is secure your borders.

          Yes. Israel is wrong to commit ethnic cleansing and all the other crimes in Gaza.

            This ethnic cleansing lie is so obviously and clearly debunked. It’s shocking that people are so stupid enough to repeat it .

            There are millions of Arabs living peacefully within Israel’s borders. Gaza itself has one of the highest birth rates in the world and has a growing population.

            Those are facts. Those facts quite clearly prove claims of genocide to be completely fabricated. No ethnic group of people are being wiped out.

            One of these two groups is calling for the extermination of the other group. That is Hamas.

              How was it debunked “clearly and obviously”? None of the thighs you said in any way debunk the fact that Israel is illegally killing and removing people from their land.

                How’s it debunked? By reality! A genocide needs more people to die than to be born, which obviously isn’t happening. Even on the cultural front, there’s no removal from society happening.

                Now you’ve got Hamas indiscriminately bombing Jerusalem, including Holy Arab religious sites, with the iron dome protecting those. Israel yet again proving it cares more about Arab lives and culture than Hamas does.

                  Really why are there Jewish people today after the holocaust? Because your definition of a genocide and what doesn’t make it one is dumb as fuck frankly.

                    You realize Jews still haven’t recovered from the Holocaust in terms of population?

                    That’s what a genocide looks like, if Jews had grown their population in the 40s, you’d possibly have an argument but really you should delete your stupid comment.
