Yesterday, I attended a demonstration for Iran, downtown Halifax, Canada, by the waterfront. I spoke with some
Iranian people there, shook hands, and offered my support. As I was leaving, I felt a strong surge of emotions and hope for humanity, in seeing these lovely people being brave and strong for their country and spreading the truth of what’s happening. 💚✌️

Hard to say, I remember my first debate around woke ideology being in 2017. Someone argued with me that police should drop charges if they misgender someone. I called that incredibly stupid because misgendering doesn’t make the person magically not a criminal. The person I was talking to got really mad. So it must’ve been before then.
@RobOnARamble@DerekSpillman@AdamMossoff@cenkuygur@benshapiro Reports are evidence, not verdicts. They carry no legal weight until a court actually rules. Treating them as settled law and calling it genocide beforehand is a bad-faith mood that a lot of people are buying into.
@DerekSpillman@RobOnARamble@AdamMossoff@cenkuygur@benshapiro Agreed. People are calling it genocide before any court has ruled and trying to change the word's meaning. They won't talk about Hamas though, who have documented intent. They tend to skip that part.
The reports are not a verdict. The ICJ case is still open, filings in 2027 and 2029. You are treating unfinished paper like a conviction.
Hamas embeds in the civilian population on purpose. That makes the fighting ugly, but it does not prove Israel set out to wipe out a people as such.
Calling it genocide before the court rules is the point of the slogan. It turns a live legal question into a settled crime and that is exactly the outcome Hamas is trying to lock in.
Genocide requires proven intent to destroy a group as such. Hamas ministry 70k (no fighter split) is 3 percent of 2.2 million. IDF estimates 17-22k Hamas dead. Rwanda and Armenia hit 70-80 percent of the targeted group. Holocaust took two-thirds of European Jews.
Gallant said the siege line day two. Israel then let in millions of tons of food, above WFP numbers. Your no-food claim is false.
You laughed like I thought 70k “isn’t enough.” Percentage plus no proven intent is why it isn’t genocide. Learn the definition.
