1.9 Million People live in the Gaza Strip, that's 10 digits. Large numbers of them were displaced but still remain in Gaza, somewhere from 6 to 7 digits dead or injured, that leaves 10 digits still in Gaza

Uh... What? 1.9 is 7 digits, of which there were conservatively estimated to be 6 digits of dead by mid-2024. By the most conservative estimate possible, more than 10% of Gazans were fucking dead by the time your dear Biden left office.

The Israelis and Trump's Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth are talking about pushing all of them permanently out of the region, future tense.

Yeah Biden leaned on Egypt and Jordan to accept exactly the same thing also in mid-2024 and was told to go fuck himself. For now Israel is blocking out all aid, which is the exact same thing it did at the start of the war under Biden.

What does that have to do with the Greens, NPD or Bloc though?

Do you have two or multiple parties in parliament?

They have two major parties and a whole bunch of minor ones. The Quebecoi Bloc is the biggest, but the New Democratic Party and Green Party also have some seats.

I was wondering whether a coalition government wouldn't be more advantageous.

It would be, but that's impossible under FPTP.

I mean it's natural to not want a conservative government, but why root for a liberal majority and not a liberal minority with progressive parties to provide the remaining seats?

Bibi won by having his favorite outcome on 2024-11-05 realized.

I doubt Bibi cared much either way. I mean Trump likely was preferable to Harris, but even with Harris it's not like he'd have faced real pressure to stop the genocide.

the thread pretty clearly outlines that the US side were doing everything to prevent an actual genocide,

Because there wasn't an actual genocide in Gaza already? If they were trying to prevent a genocide they were failing miserably.

Okay that was funny.

I wanted a lib majority,

Why though?

After PP's horrible showing post-Trump (and dozens of polls)? Yeah. Canada is the Western country with the best odds of remaining a democracy in 20 years, followed not so closely by Eastern Europe and Australia.

I mean duh? Did anyone think otherwise?

Wasn't he gunning for a presidential run I think?

I mean Ron DeSantis also tanked his chances by being an evil piece of shit (which Trump also is so I'm not sure why only one worked) so the comparison tracks.

Muslim here. Mary is, in fact, not venerated in Islam in the way Catholics use the term. She's praised in the Quran, sure, and is considered a Very Good Person, but so are many people. Islam is considered heresy in Christianity because it rejects the Trinity (according to Islam only Unitarians have the slightest clue what they're talking about), accepts Muhammed as a prophet and rejects parts of the Bible as corrupted.

Maybe I should get into tap-dancing. More seriously fair enough I should've thought of that too.

Okay how about: Build houses without worrying about property values. Capitalism should have absolutely nothing to do with housing.

Or you can... Build more houses. It's not that complicated.

That's great. Maybe the information leaks and some poor Yemeni gets to run to safety once.

"Can't easily go to Jerusalem" is only one part of the article, and that aside it's an egregious attack on Palestinian freedom of movement so not really overdramatic. Israel has been doing much flashier things lately so I get your instinct to dismiss this, but this attitude is part of why Israel has gotten away with its crimes for so long; the world only pays attention to the plight of Palestinians when they're being blown to bits by Israeli airstrikes and then forgets about them when the planes (mostly) stop flying. This article does a good job of highlighting the quieter parts of Israeli oppression IMO.

An ethnostate is a state made explicitly for one ethnicity that prioritizes that ethnicity over others. The most glaring examples of this are Israel and Apartheid South Africa, but it's a thing to a much smaller extent in Japan for example. Also note that most European countries do in fact have plenty of native ethnicities; they all just happen to be white. The most obvious example is probably Jews, but there are many others.
