    Does no one else notice how odd it is, that someone who was trained to be a soldier and has all the advantages of terrain, weapons, and surprise was taken out by a couple of cops with pistols?

    I mean, all credit to Jeff Smith and his partner who responded with courage, skill, and determination, but I hope the rest of the Canadian armed forces are better than this guy. Who knows when we will have to repel an invasion from the south!

    Yeah it was expected the pro-Israeli actors are gonna go pedal-to-the-metal with this. While that would make some Canadians feel good, the fact that nothing of fact is coming up in support of this narrative will at the same time discredit these actors further in the eyes of yet more Canadians. This process has been ongoing for the last 2-3 years and it’s produced a dramatic shift in opinions towards Israel and pro-Israel voices in the media and elsewhere.

    How disgusting is it for Zionists (and the Right) to take white supremacy and actual antisemitism (i.e. rightwing ideology) to then twist it to further justify the genocide that Israel is orchestrating.
