    Proven? Provide proof.

    You seem to know what these people need. What are you willing to do for them? Would you rather fight and die for the Country of Canada or for the people whose land has been stolen?

    It sucks being forced to pick a side. I hate it. I don’t want it. I want to live in peace but bad people keep doing bad things. My life is threatened when any other group of people are targeted. Sitting on the sidelines pointing fingers at everyone just lets the bad people gather more strength. A person’s inaction is someone else’s death.

    To be transparent on my part, I have not done anything to help beyond learning and listening. I am however working on a project currently that aims to bridge the knowledge gap, even just a little bit.

    It’s easy to say things, a lot harder to do them.

    If it came down to it, I’d die fighting for indigenous people. Invading forces means nothing. If Russia or China took over Canada, that just means even more genocide so what’s the difference if Canada is already commiting genocide.

        Canada is genocidal. From Indigenous peoples to supporting the genocide of Palestinians, Canada is genocidal.

            So you’re a genocide denier regarding Indigenous peoples, and you rely on bipartisanism to accept that Palestinians are being systematically eradicated?!

                Doubling down on genocide denial of still-existing settler-colonialism within America, and calling the genocide in Gaza “muddled” to absolve Canada of its grave sins domestically and abroad. Do some self-crit.

                    Yep, more than you do evidently, both Israel and the “Plastelines” as you call Palestinians.

                    Israel’s century-long existence is as a settler-colonial apartheid state backed by Nazi Germany, and currently commits genocide to expand territory and project Western power in the area to secure the Petro Dollar. Its existence endanger Jewish diaspora by fostering hatred for itself, a practice intentional to fuel the narrative that it is “the only safe haven for Jews in the world.” Furthermore, Israel is antisemetic towards Yiddish speaking Jews.

        The year is 2024, we stuffed a group of people into reservations and federally announced that we don’t need to provide clean drinking water to the people forced into those reservations. You mentioned that yourself.

        Just because there’s no bullets flying does not mean these people aren’t suffering. Physically, mentally, it’s pain for them. I stand by my statement.

        The yikes should be pointed at those to enable these horrifying actions. The yikes should be pointed at those who refuse to acknowledge these horrifying actions.
