the whole point of this attack by hamas was to generate a response. i agree that israel needs to be told not to overreact, but it has a right to respond, and this is a propaganda war at it's core. the idea that it was iran consequently does make sense.
my concern is that trudeau didn't get the memo. again.
who is responsible for this mistake - is trudeau not reading his notes, or is he not getting them?

so, a bunch of upper class white kids in canada are declaring their solidarity against settler-colonialism in israel.
it's more comical than it is offensive.
in response, i hope that the palestinian student union releases a statement of solidarity with indigenous canadians against the settler-colonial apartheid state of so-called canada.
and, yes, canada practiced apartheid; we rounded them up and put them in nature reserves, like they were animals.
they should run a referendum on accepting or amending the statement. it's sophomoric, but these are kids; it's not harassment, it's just one-sided. they don't speak for the student body, which is going to be more self-aware than that.
the student union has a function and it is not to comment on foreign conflicts. it should not be producing any statements that are outside of it's mandate without conducting a plebiscite, first.
