There is a serious issue in the way this conflict is being discussed lately, and it’s honestly alarming. Short replies that lack context, empathy, or even the basic human acknowledgement of the unimaginable pain Palestinians are experiencing right now reveal one of two things: 1. Rationalization used to cover a deep and persistent Western bias. 2. A possible honest attempt that explains why Palestinians cannot win, due to the current state of global politics, any form of resistance is doomed to fail and risks Palestinians survival and therefore any resistance is framed as 'bad' and irresponsible leadership from a political strategic point of view. -- If someone still falls into category one, then honestly, there’s no point in debating anymore. The world has already begun to awaken to the truth of Israel’s history and actions, and no amount of justification works anymore—sorry. But if someone aligns with category two, then yes, we can understand the geopolitical argument: that the current balance of power makes Palestinian resistance inefficient and dangerous. However, offering that analysis without first acknowledging the rage, pain, and profound injustice Palestinians have lived through and their fundamental right to resist ends up reinforcing the dominant power narrative. It strips them of their humanity under the guise of realism. And that’s not transcendance. Wasn't that what was discussed before? SD stage yellow without integrated stage green is nothing but a more evolved stage orange. If you haven’t cried for Palestinians, felt their pain, their rage and the brutal occupation… And if you haven’t cried for the Jewish people during the Holocaust, grieved their history, their suffering, their fear… Then you cannot pretend to give opinion that seems serious or offers a more "conscious" point of view.

A conversation created by ChatGPT showing how would Green, Yellow and Turquoise react to this humanitarian catastrophe: GREEN: "We need international sanctions now. Protests. Pressure. Name the oppressor. If we don’t take a stand, we’re complicit. Enough moral gymnastics!" YELLOW: "Your urgency is justified, but we also need to ask: why are these atrocities allowed to continue? What incentives drive this? What fears fuel both sides? If we just shout, we miss the mechanics of the machine." TURQUOISE: "And if we only analyze, we miss the soul. This land is soaked with ancestral grief. No peace will come without collective healing. The rage, the fear, the dehumanization—they are inherited wounds." GREEN: "Healing comes after justice. You don’t bring flowers to a battlefield while bodies are still dropping." TURQUOISE: "Sometimes you must. The battlefield is in the heart as much as the land. If we don’t break the chain of hate, we feed the fire with our righteousness." YELLOW: "I think we need both timelines. Green's direct response. My structural work. Your consciousness shift. If we coordinate, we move faster and deeper." GREEN: "So, I scream. You map. And Turquoise… prays?" TURQUOISE: "No. I listen deeply. I create spaces where the grief can be witnessed and transmuted. I walk between worlds so others can remember who they are." YELLOW: "And maybe together, we create a response that neither silences pain, nor drowns in it, nor intellectualizes it—but actually transforms it." Three voices. Three medicines Green brings the voice of the victim and the fire of justice. Yellow brings the meta-view and the engineering of peace. Turquoise brings the soul salve and the memory of wholeness

How would conservatives help with the housing prices when the leader PP himself voted against the funding and investment in the development of affordable housing units? https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en/votes/41/2/140 Also, do you think it would have been wiser to not impose a lockdown as an attempt to mitigate complicated cases during a global pandemic of an unknown virus especially in a country that provides free healthcare? -

Unfortunately yes it is really depressing. One thing I noticed with Pierre's supporters is that they tend to exaggerate issues and say things like "Canada became a third world country, Canada is broken, Canada is destroyed, ...etc." which makes them appear like entitled brats or some seriously uneducated folks. Canadians always used to identity themselves as more "intelligent" than their neighbor in the south. This upcoming election will be the litmus test I guess. -

This is irrelevant. Israelis have been witnessing an ongoing genocide and as a collective ( I know not very single one but as a collective) are approving of it and most know the end goal and already justifying it in their head that all is acceptable for the sake of their own security. Unless they speak out against it (not the hostages) then their silence is approval. Pretty much just like the Germans who knew what Hitler was doing and remained passive. -

It's like trying to escape an abusive family by making a deal with and trusting in another devil.. Sadly, it has been a repetitive theme though so it's quite believable that some really fall for it.

That's actually sad and alarming. Short-sighted liberals always fall for this trap. If they are so liberal minded then they better start reading some history.

Very difficult footage to see but citizen media must be highlighted - Bombing civilian tents and burning people alive has been an acceptable practice according to the IDF. https://www.instagram.com/p/DBFUaddoqbf/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/p/DBEas7AgOuK/

I think one important thing that must be highlighted is that most of the archives and records related to Palestine has either been destroyed or hidden by the Israeli military. With all that has been shared on this thread and history books, there is still more that will remain unknown. "Of the roughly 14.8 million files kept by the Israeli State Archives and the IDF, no more than 191,204 are accessible for public consultation, the equivalent of 1.29%" Source: https://www.akevot.org.il/en/news-item/1-29-state-access-israeli-government-archives/ https://merip.org/2019/09/israels-vanishing-files-archival-deception-and-paper-trails/

This channel has some high quality conversations regarding the conflict. I think every Israeli with an open mind and heart must listen to them.

Nobody is denying the existence of Islamisim or Islamic extremism, but trying paint the Palestinian behavior entirely in this light, is not only irrelevant but is also nothing but a fundamental misunderstanding of the entire conflict. The early resistance was secular and they were also painted as terrorists. After almost 80 years, maybe it's time to take a step back and actually question why these people have been resorting to all different types of resistance, instead of dehumanizing them ? Or, maybe after the death of almost 50,000 or god knows how many, it's time to stop giving excuses/rationalization to the ones who have the power to change the situation - no matter how right or wrong they are? -
Canada, USA and Australia were all settlers colonies that had no right to exist either. The difference here is that these countries have finally given citizenship to the local population and are no longer actively trying to genocide them. That was something in the past that cannot be changed. On the other hand, Israel at the moment is actively committing a genocide and is still denying the right of return for the local population. See the difference? Israel started as a settler colony at a time most people were fighting for liberation, it was just too late for them to join their other settler friends.

It has nothing to do with Jews or non Jews. it very simple you can't displace people from their homes under any circumstances. 2 wrongs don't make a right. No solution will ever be reached if Zionists don't acknowledge the destruction and violence they caused when they started their project. One they acknowledge this there will be a chance for actual peace. The problem here is the insistance of denial.
