As soon as that terrible attack happened, I immediately thought, oh no, they've just given the Israeli Government a green light to flatten Gaza and kill 10's of thousands of innocent people.
I would hope that if some terrible attack like that happened here in Canada, we wouldn't use it to justify murdering as many people as we want in the name of peace. This was used as a justification to destroy the lives of each and every Palestinian living in the West Bank.
Dartguard, is question for the I don't give a damn about the people (humans) of Gaza.
What would you do if you grew up in what is a giant Israeli jail called Gaza. You had no rights, you had no freedoms. You keep watching the Israeli government put more settlements on your land. You've been denied a future, forced into a life of poverty. And the kicker is this land you are on keeps getting smaller, and the land that used to belong to your people is now held by a government that wants you just to disappear. Would you be fine with that? Would you not expect friends, family, neighbours to reach a boiling point?
This fucking mess the Benjamin Netanyahu government has created with his disgusting bombing and murder of anybody in his way needs to end. Any global support outside of Frumps WH since the terrorist attack has been lost. Now, all we see is the carnage being inflicted on a defenceless people.
Shame on Benjamin Netanyahu, a war criminal, and shame on his supporters. As a Canadian I would be standing up for the people we had forced into hating us for the years of discrimination and authoritarianism we had forced on them.
As of 8 April 2025, over 52,000 people – 50,810 Palestinians and 1,706 Israelis have been killed in this new war – I wonder if all these murders will make the Israelis safer in the future??????? It hasn't worked before, has it? They are the ones creating the (terrorists) freedom fights of the future. Also, it is a genocide by every metric one can think of. The murder of children alone they are trying to wipe out a whole generation of people. Since the Oct 7th attack of the Israelis who have lost their lives, children represent 3.2% of fatalities. Of the over 50,810 Palestinians bombed to oblivion, children make up 31% of the deaths. Do you still wonder why so many people have stopped supporting Israel and are now protesting the freedom of the Gaza people?
I don't know how anybody can argue in favour of the carnage being done at the hands of the Netanyahu government. Not unless you view one group of people as more deserving of human rights over another.

My 6,000 Canadians in my Scenario was a proportionate Canadian population ratio to the casualties in Israel suffered in the October attack. Both Gaza and Israel had a workable Peace for 18 years. Palestinians crossed the border every day to earn a living in Israel and an entire generation of Israeli's and Palestinians did not know War. But they do now after the spectacular attack on October 7.
An attack that was more successful than planned and left the Israeli border open for hours so that a collection of usual suspects were able to participate in the Killing, raping, baking, Stabbing and looting with the final boredom of retreating with live humans back to Gaza. I say again there was 18 Years of relative Peace up until October 6.
Please do some research on the 2000 Peace accords hosted by Clinton. Arafat had a nervous breakdown at Camp David when the enormity of the Israeli Peace details started sinking in. He realized the Israeli's were serious and very generous. He also knew he would be murdered if he had tried to sell it to the hard core element of his community. THAT ELEMENT IS A DEATH CULT. They do not care who dies. We in the West always think that bunch will be bought off with a two State solution. Nope. Eradication of all Jews and their State or they will keep fighting. How do you placate that line of thinking?
Netanyahu has to keep up the War as he is going to Prison for the bribery and or the security calamity on October 7. Mr Trump is the only one that could stop him. Will he?
