  • It should matter in all cases. In Canada’s case, it is a historical issue and cannot be undone, whereas this is ongoing and can be changed.

    Canada has paid reparations to victims, and many efforts have been made to document and acknowledge the harm done.

    While this may well be a case of “too little, too late”, it’s not something many people can see Israel ever doing, especially since most Canadians were unaware of the residential schools until very recently, while the majority of Israelis have made their feelings towards Palestinians very clear.


  • How many of those protests are about Palestinians?

    The vast majority of them, and the largest of them, are about saving the “hostages” and opposing Netanyahu.

    One of the largest protests so far: https://www.thejc.com/news/israel/israelis-protest-gaza-war-netanyahu-wftw9xpj

    Not a single mention of Palestinians.

    Speaking ahead of the rally, Yehuda Cohen, father of hostage Nimrod Cohen, accused Netanyahu of “blowing up the hostages in Gaza.” He stated: “Netanyahu is killing the hostages and destroying the country.”

    “The hostages’ lives are in your hands, time is running out, the hostages have no time. We’ve seen hostages return. You have the power to do this. So please do it already. Sign phase B and bring my brother back to me. Give me my life back, now!"

    The surge in demonstrations was also partly triggered by Netanyahu’s move to dismiss Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara.

    “The government has launched a direct, violent and unrestrained attack: on us, on our democracy, on our values, on our future, and on the lives of our children. It will not win,” he went on, accusing the government of “turning its back on the law, on the High Court of Justice and on the public.

    “This struggle is not another protest. This is a struggle for the face of Israel. This is a struggle for our home,” he implored.









  • I agree with the other response - I don’t care about my meat sack once it’s no longer operational. Harvest my useful organs for donation, then feed the rest to the kitties.

    The difference between humans and other animals is that we understand the concept of death and can make our post-life wishes known.

    If my children told me they wanted to be fed to the tigers I’d probably still be horrified by the image of it but I wouldn’t push back.

    Our pets can’t communicate their wishes to us, and in all likelihood they don’t care what happens to them when they’re dead. Putting their meat to some kind of use seems far more ethical to me than turning it into ash or sticking it in the ground.
