France is one of the most racist and Islamaphobic countries in the world. I mean I have generally heard that Parisians don't even treat tourists well and are very rude if you cannot speak French (I heard Quebec City is the same. What is with the French 😂 ). They seem to be a bunch of assholes. Not that it justifies terrorism or anything, but I can imagine tensions within France what with the riots and everything earlier. I mean even with the teacher who got beheaded, if you considered what the teacher did before he was attacked, he apparently showed cartoon pictures of Prophet Mohammad in class to teach about freedom of speech. Like he could have used any example, but he chose that. Just saying.
So???
Does that change reality and how the real world works? Or does it in fact make it more likely there will reprisals? And further escalation…

Idealism is nice Kautilya. The world and reality bites, and it’s past time the Left realize that.

Sunny days don’t last forever.

Well what I described is the state of the real world in France today. Systemic, cultural and institutional racism towards its Muslim population. If they do not want such incidents to happen again they need to do more to address these issues.
Yeah, France is really racist and horrible. I hate it when they do this to the Muslim population living in Paris.

I won’t argue that. For all the Lefts hopes and prayers for Paris, for all of JTs virtue signaling ,singing kumbuyah and it has no place in Canada, and we can all get along, and force our values on others…. for all the millions of people that change their Facebook profiles to stupid feel good, we stand with France pics.

What’s it changed?

meanwhile, if this keeps going south, interest rates or oil prices take off……we are caught with our pants off and screwed…Debt up to our eyeballs…

oh, just a week ago, many on the Left here were good and cheering JT cutting 1B from the defence budget.

Sunny days

Hamas is not about a two-state solution, not about ending the occupation, not about “resistance”, not about the quality of life of Palestinians in Gaza, and definitely not about peace. It’s an antisemitic, barbaric, fundamentalistic terror organization that aims to destroy Israel and kill Jews. It butchers Israeli civilians, rapes women, dismembers bodies, and celebrates it. It then uses Palestinians as human shields in hospitals and schools, with no regard for human lives on either side. This time, it’s not complicated. Hamas is as evil as ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and the Nazis. No decent human being can support it, and anyone who cares for Israelis or Palestinians should support its annihilation.

I don`t know if that would work. Are there terrorist attacks because of the way Muslim`s are treated? Or do the French(by and large) treat them the way they do because of Muslim terrorist attacks? Like running on my treadmill.

But the US funding apartheid to the tune of $3.8 billion in weapons is fine?
You just don't want the indigenous people to be able to defend themselves?

This is from a 24 year old doctor in Gaza, living through his 4th war.

‘I’m starting my day with the first air strike in the morning’: Gaza doctor

Omar Najjar, a 24-year doctor at the Al-Nasser complex in Khan Younis, has described to Al Jazeera a day in the life of medical workers in Gaza:
“I’m starting my day with the first air strike in the morning. We run to the emergency room and we are directly managing the patients. Many times we are asking if those patients are our relatives. Many times we can see our close friends, close members of our family in the emergency room.

“Here in the hospital we have been officially informed by managers … that we will totally run out of electricity completely within 48 hours or maybe less. Everyday I’m going to stitch some patients, I can’t find the stitches, I can’t find the gauze. There are more than 30,000 people who are also taking this hospital as home [shelter], so this also may be a barrier for our work inside the hospital.

“I can’t describe what we are feeling. I have lived here in Gaza for four wars, but this is the worst war. We can’t find minutes or seconds to sit and take a rest. I did not take breakfast or anything, even lunch. So to the whole world: Please stop this war.”
