I agree with that Hamas needs to go, and with the general idea in this article, but we could use a better source for the story
In what seems like the slightest of signs that the BBC has decided to veer away from its near-constant anti-Israeli narrative, it conducted an interview with [...]
What even...
Ah I think I misunderstood which part of the comment the /s was referring to, not sure why
That's my bad, I guess I can't read
How about we don't bomb things based on ideology, even if the ideology is atheism...
It's a bit ironic to call out the issues with organized religion, and then go "I'm ok with bombing the buildings of those I consider 'other' "
More than that, the focus is on a Leader and administration that is opposed by the majority of Israeli people
Yes that's true, bad wording on my part when trying to talk about how much things should actually cost
This shouldn't be a controversial take either. Even WITHIN Israel, the majority of Israeli's want Netanyahu and his administration gone. There were massive protests over months over the years of corruption. There are criminal charges filed against him and his family. Right now after the attacks, there are widespread calls for his resignation and an investigation into why the response to the initial attacks were so bad.
Given all that, it doesn't make sense for any world leader to continue to support his administration. Especially if countries are meant to be allies of the Israeli people.
What about now after thousands of people have been killed in bombings, is now a good time to call timeout or do we wait another round?
A ceasefire goes both ways, and it stops more innocent people from dying on any side. This weird "oh they should be able to get some revenge" line is so fucking stupid and it's surprising that officials and news anchors are repeating it.
The US spends more than any other country on healthcare, on TOP of what individuals pay for things like insurance.
The reason it all looks so expensive is because of how much money goes to shareholders and corporations. So yep, it could be a whole lot cheaper
Statement and subsequent apology
The motion comes less than a week after the rookie MPP posted a statement on social media calling for a ceasefire in the region while also demanding an end to “all occupation of Palestinian land.”
In the statement, Jama did not address the Hamas attack on Israel, which spurred the most recent violence in the region.
About 24 hours later, Jama issued a written apology for her comments after a lengthy discussion with NDP Leader Marit Stiles—who asked Jama to retract the post. Related Stories
“I heard many voices yesterday raising concerns about my post. I hear them - and above all, I understand the pain that many Jewish and Israeli Canadians, including my own constituents, must be feeling. I apologize,” she wrote.
Policies and direct funding
They've openly bragged about funding Hamas in order to keep the Palestinian population divided and prevent any kind of formal government from forming.
Hamas and Likud/Netanyahu need each other to stay in power. Without them, the people in the region may actually move towards peace.
