Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Israel.
Bombs away!
Israel appears to be low on Napalm!
I don’t know why Israel doesn’t tether a radar balloon . Networked with ground based auto load, auto fire 155mm gun on power traverse, computer air, 155mm HE rounds should be returned to the calculated launch site in seconds.
Naturally HAMAS, or the next reiteration name champions would set up with delay launch. But that’s the Pali’s problem. No rocket launch, no 155mm gift.
I have bottle rockets that are more accurate.
And in the mean time Israel has lost the world as it commits genocide. Sad that the nazis on both sides can’t be sidelined and the peace process begin. Zionism is not Jewish and supporting Jews does not mean we must support zionism as seen in Israel.
Joe,
Can’t you get it through your thick skull That Hamas does not want peace or a separate Palastinian state. Hamas wants Israel obliterated and all middle eastern Jews expelled or eradicated. And the worst is that the majority of the Arab Muslim population in Gaza supports the Hamas death cult. Calling the Israeli retaliation “genocide” merely shows how rabidly partisan you are. Israel started small but the surrounding Arab states were determined to strangle Israel in the cradle. Since then Israel has fought a number of wars for survival. At the same time they have built a prosperous democracy in a sea of dysfunctional Arab states. Israel has participated in a number of peace talks in which separate Palestinian statehood was offered but rejected by the all-or-nothing Palestinian negotiators. Israel through its shining success has earned the right to exist. Palestinian Arabs through their slavering jew hatred, their contempt for their own people, their obsession with the destruction of Israel, have squandered whatever credibility they may once have had. Finally, ask the 20% Muslim component of the population of Israel where they would prefer to live.
Can’t you get it through your thick head that neither does Israel. Israel is about to be eliminated and you still want to pick sides? Really? Bibi is a war criminal and so is his entire cabinet. Believe it or not an Israeli cabinet minister is a 10 times convicted terrorist. 10 TIMES!!! Get it through your head. ISRAEL Is NOT INNOCENT! This most recent conflict is a false flag to keep Bibi in power and thus out of jail. If you are pro Jewish you are anti Israel.
You’re the most dimwitted anti-semite I’ve ever seen. You must be Arab to be that effing stupid. How about you just feck off?
It really is amazing, isn’t it? He just said Oct. 7th was a false flag to keep Bibi in power.
The things these people say. Wow.
Average Palestinian IQ is 83. A LOT of inbreeding over the centuries takes its toll. If he weren’t so hateful, I’d pity poor Joe the deficient.
Joe… Sorry… but the more I learn about Palestinians in Gaza, the less sympathetic I am getting to their cause.
I can’t say if Bibi, or the Israeli cabinet are war criminals as you claim, but I do know who started this war in the most wretched and unspeakable manner. Israel DID NOT incur into Gaza to slaughter innocent civilians. That was Hamas, and they did it with the full support of the people living in Gaza.
I have always spoken out against genocide no matter how wretched the population becomes. I have always been leery of the tale of Sodom and Gomorrah, to tell you the truth, but in the case of the Palestinians in Gaza, I will say this: If there ever was a population that deserves to be wiped off the face of the earth, it’s these hate-filled fanatics. Not Israel.
“Israel DID NOT incur into Gaza to slaughter innocent civilians. That was Hamas, and they did it with the full support of the people living in Gaza.”
Not just the support…the ‘citizens’ of Gaza were actually *involved* in the massacre and subsequent kidnappings. Men, women AND children entered Israel along with Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and actively participated…the men by raping women and desecrating corpses, the women and children by stealing everything they could get their hands on to take back to Gaza. A disgusting display by people who are now moaning and wailing about the destruction of their homes despite the fact that Israel still does everything possible to make sure that those ‘innocent civilians’ are safely out of the way before they conduct their strikes against Hamas personnel and infrastructure (which is deliberately built in civilian areas in order to assure maximum damage to residential areas and as many civilian casualties as possible).
What a nut case.
The Palestinians are the Somalians of the middle east. Nobody wants them, nobody.
Spoken like a true Nazi. The facts are that there are people REAL people being killed so Bibi can stay out of jail. The Israeli PM has an approval rating of 4%. The facts are that if Israel keeps on this course it will be eliminated. I am not taking joy in that. Just stating facts. The only ally Israel has is the US and the US is pretty much a spent force. Its aircraft carriers are obsolete with the advent of hypersonic missiles. The US has no friends in the Middle East which means it doesn’t have any land bases to operate from. Maybe from Europe? Not likely. Europe hates Israel. So what is going to happen. Iran, Turkey, China, Russia and the entire Arab world would love to see Israel disappear. Hmmm. Israel is run by Nazis and you have been drinking their kool aid. Kind of sad that the pro Israel crowd on this thread are so anti Jewish. This will not end well for Israel. Or the US or the Western Alliance.
What a disgusting POS you are.
Yes it is CNN but it is a former IDF soldier speaking his case. Give it a listen

unmet I wondered where you were.
Joe (the Albertan)
Are you in favour of Hamas wanting to wipe out the Jews?
He’s addle minded.
I am in favor of peace and that means getting rid of the Nazis on both sides. Both sides and many on this thread dehumanize one side or the other. That is the mark of NAZISM! I refuse to engage in that. The fact is that Israel is not what we would all love to think what it is. It is an occupying force that is killing innocent civilians for the capital crime of being Palestinian. I happened upon a video of a Jewish Rabbi whose son went to study in Israel. The son saw a young boy with a cut hand and the boy was crying in pain. The Rabbi’s son went to a policeman and asked what could be done to help the boy. The police told him that nothing was to be done because the boy was Palestinian. That is evil. I would say the same of any one who refuses aid based on race or religion or gender or….. Humans are human and we as fellow humans must help other humans to be the best they can as we seek their wellbeing. No more racism. PERIOD! BTW I say the same of any Palestinian who treats a Jew badly. We are all humans here. We have to do a much better job of making peace rather than war. We have got the war part down pat. Time for Peace.
I don’t give a crap one way or the other. Not my circus, not my monkeys.
“I don’t give a crap one way or the other. Not my circus, not my monkeys.”
I wouldn’t care either if one side didn’t insist on bringing their fight to Canada (and USA, and the rest of the western world). But they *are* attacking Jews and synagogues here, and they *are* violently hijacking every public event they can think of (including Christmas tree lightings) to openly support terrorists and call for the deaths of Jews. That makes it my fight, because they are using my country to push their radical agenda.
Joe the Albertan
How would you get rid of Hamas?
Drum circles, no doubt.
Please leave my province, you don’t belong in Alberta
Who says he’s Albertan? Could be just another false-flag fake ID. The internet is riddled with those who claim to be one thing and are something else.
Born and raised Albertan Great Grandson of a pioneer who left Eastern Europe hoping to go to Israel in 1884. He and his family were denied entry by the Ottoman Turks who didn’t want any Christians in Jerusalem. So Great Grandpa moved to North Dakota where he homesteaded until 1904 when he moved the family to Alberta. He brought his farming skills and his German Baptist religion with him and while his sons broke the land he was building a sod church in the little town they settled in. While the family was not pacifist Mennonite like many of his neighbors they had seen enough of the endless wars in Europe to say, “No more war”. Myself I am a Christian. I don’t support Christian Zionism nor do I support Jewish zionism. I have known enough Orthodox Jews to know that they don’t support Christian or Jewish zionism either. However as the nephew of a man who helped liberate Bergen Belsen extermination camps and having heard his accounts of the horrors he witnessed I am all to familiar with the evils of nazism. However nazism is the dehumanization of fellow humans justifying their death or extermination. Both Israel and Hamas is guilty of that thought. Notice I did not say the average Jew or the average Palestinian but rather their leaders. That completely aside one has to ask where this conflict began and no it did not begin on Oct 7. Much much earlier Israel decided to go against its UN charter and expand into land it did not own and did not pay for. It simply took it and ran the people who had lived there for millenia out of their homes and put them in a concentration camp called Gaza. Hauntingly similar to the camp my uncle fought to free. Israel then went farther and going against its own laws and occupied land it did not own. The ‘settlers’ simply shot anyone who said no to them. So let’s lay aside our religions for a moment and ask ourselves what is evil. What is evil? Is it the genocide we see going on in Gaza? Is it the Oct 7 raid where more Jews were killed by Israel than by Hamas? Is it the taking of hostages by Israel during the ceasefire when hostages were being exchanged? What is evil in your mind?
Definite false-flag. Who else has a wall ‘o text like that cued up and ready to go? Sock puppet.
“Is it the genocide we see going on in Gaza?”
This is what I love about these Lefties. They think a “genocide” is when the IDF calls their Gaza targets up on the phone and tells them there is a bomb coming later today, so could they all get out of building by 3pm, please and thank you. Worst, dumbest genocide ever.
So Israel knew a year in advance that Hamas was planning Oct 7 and was warned by Egypt in September that Hamas was going to raid and some IDf soldiers on Oct 6 warned their superiors that the raid was about to happen. What did Israel do? They ignored the warning and sent the IDF on holidays. How very convenient for Hamas. Why would Israel ignore all those warnings? Incompetence? Bad luck? False Flag so Israel would have an enemy to fight so Bibe wouldn’t be tossed out of office and wind up in Jail. Well Israel is not stupid and I am not a big believer in luck so that kind of leaves only one option on the table. FALSE FLAG! Given Israel’s government’s nazi tendencies I go with false flag. They wanted this to happen. They even tried to make the hostage taking worse by killing both the hostage and the hostage taker.
Genocide you say. Parroting something you heard or read without giving any thought to the meaning, Since 2005 the population of Gaza has boomed because of a high birthrate. Keep it short Joe but justify your comment.
Wow, another visit from the troll farm. Say hi to Gym and dizzy for me dude.
By the way Joe, the Peace Process, as you put it, is the IDF hunting down every last HamAss guy in Gaza. And maybe chucking those d1ckh3eads cheering for the rockets in jail for six months, that might be instructive.
Gaza will be peaceful when all the terrorists running it are toast. Anything less is just postponing the problem.
Read the histories of the muslim conquests throughout the world. written by their own historians and chroniclers. Genocide you say? The muslims are the world leaders in genocide. They deserve everything that is done to them.
Hamas wants a huge death toll of people on both sides to be used to manipulate the people in the west.
Why else did they go on the orgy of rape and murder and film it all to create the snuff films on Oct 7?
What was the military goal or strategy behind that if not for it’s PR value?
Why do they prolong the war today?
What can they possibly gain militarily or strategically?
It’s all about getting as many people killed as possible and using their deaths to manipulate the west politically.
Everyone who supports Hamas and who blindly allow themselves to be manipulated by that can take a bow because they all make it work for Hamas. They are ‘helping’.
Or is there some other military explanation of the Hamas strategy?
Can Hamas win this war militarily?
Was a specific Hamas military goal achieved by the rape and murder of women and children in those snuff films?
I thought Joe went back home to Gaza to fight with Hamas. Is his real name Joe the Commie or is it Joe the Naz*?
I support the 2 state solution.. That way when the new State of Palestine rockets Israel(because they cant help themselves, a snake does snake things). Israel can invade and level the place. Bingo,bango,bongo!.. And start all over again.
Joe, Jews would not be killing anyone if the f*****g world would stop trying to kill them. Get your head out.
4-days of a ceasefire to reload. Ceasefire … Unh huh …
We’re nearly two months since Hamas’s attack on civilian Israel’s, and during this whole time, the Media has been telling me that Palestinians are different from Hamas. That Palestinians aren’t the same people, that they’re innocent of what Hamas has been doing.
But yet in this whole time I haven’t heard of any of the following being reported!!!
1.) Palestinians,,, attacking Hamas soldiers, for the destruction they’ve unleashed on Gaza.
2.) Palestinians,,, helping to free Israeli hostages that were captured by Hamas.
3.) Palestinians,,, outing the locations of Hamas leaders, tunnel entrances, command centers.
4.) Palestinians,,, becrying that Hamas is using them, as human shields.
5.) Palestinians,,, sympathetic for Hamas killing Israeli civilians, particularly the women and the butchering and beheading of infants.
6.) Palestinians,,, taking up arms against Hamas, to flush them away from their hospitals and homes.
If Palestinians are different than Hamas, why haven’t any of the things listed above happened? because if they had happened,,, the Media would have most certainly made it a headline about it.
I’m not so sure much of the Media would. You;ve had more unanswered excellent questions than I have, thank you for asking them.
I’ve also wondered about the number of Hamas casualties. The best number I’ve heard was last night: 1/5th. What is that?
https://twitter.com/CAMERAorgUK/status/1725931432520962188
Seems pretty clear to me.
“https://twitter.com/CAMERAorgUK/status/1725931432520962188

Frighteningly clear. Useful idiots like Joe will just pretend not to see it, though.
This is an interview with the son of the creator of Hamas. He does an outstanding job giving ancient and recent history lessons on the whole Middle East creation, including maps of the moving borders and how they impacted the territories. He is a Lebanese Christian, with a credible and honest voice.

In fairness, Charleston residents sat on rooftops to watch the bombardment of Fort Sumter.
War has always been brutal but I do not think the populace realized the shear savagery and human costs of the first modern war. The American revolution was long enough ago to be romanticized an the weapons were flintlock muskets and muzzle loaded round shot cannons. Just as in WW1, where the populace thought the boys would be home for Christmas after giving the Kaiser a good hiding, I am sure that many of the Southern populace thought it “all in good fun” to tweak the Yankees and show them that the South would not be pushed around.
Very true. It was even worse in previous centuries when war was very up close and personal. It’s one thing to shoot someone from 1/4 mile away. It’s something very different and traumatic when you have to get up close an stick in a sharp object. And worse still when you have to get his blood and guts on you.
And limited or no contact with the outside world meant that all foreigners were easily objectified as the essence of evil. I would simply modify your thought that the general populace has never realized the sheer savagery on any war unless they stood directly in the path as helpless peasant to be slaughtered in droves. Very few times has the population been protected from the direct, immediate costs of warfare.
In fairness, Fort Sumter was a forttress fortified against bombardment and occupied by a garrison of trained soldiers equipped to fight back (until they ran out of ammunition and would then surrender with a reasonable expectations of terms that didn’t include their extermination.) Those Hamas rockets are flung in the general direction of populated areas with the intent to kill Jews whether combatants or not, and their extermination is a popular goal of those cheering the launching of the rockets. And no matter how many times Joe the Albertan tells the lie that Israel intends genocide, Israelis wish they didn’t have to spend their blood and treasure fighting Arab neighbours, and Muslims are indoctrinated from the cradle that Jews are the enemies of God and that God wants them to kill Jews, (and if Joe the Albertan isn’t already a Muslim, to kill him, too, if he doesn’t convert. But the Jews first.)
It’s all fun and games until a rocket goes off course and hits a hospital…
Calling Hamas, militants is like calling the Canadian Army, Liberal militants. Just like the Liberals are the duly elected government of Canada, so too is Hamas the duly and popularly elected government of Gaza. Hamas is Palestine.
Then after getting elected, Hamas slaughtered their political opponents, and we haven’t seen an election in Gaza since.
As if the Palestinians need another election, they still support Hamas, and that will be their undoing.
We also have not seen an election on the West Bank either, because the PLO that runs the West Bank know they will lose to Hamas.
When Hamas takes over, they will take over the PLO Security Forces, and purge them of PLO sympathizers, then use them to eliminate any PLO in the West Bank. Just like they did in Gaza.
That is why Arafat and Abbas never had elections in the Palestinian West Bank after Hamas was elected in Gaza.
Arafat/ that old gay boy has been gone a long time .
This war is about exploiting Palestinian victimhood for the benefit of the global community. Palestinians got what they voted for and will continue getting it good and hard. The only way the Jihadis can eliminate Israel is by influencing Israel’s international supporters to withdraw support. To the Jihadis, Palestinians are worth no more than sacrificing for such a goal and the greater Arab / Persian / Islamic region agrees. No one in their right mind would want to intervene in Gaza to save the few Palestinians not on side with Hamas. Such intervention would have to come from the west as the ME doesn’t really care about those not interested in Jihad. The state of Israel is not ideal but in contrast to their neighbours, they are still an outpost of (declining) western civilization within the Islamic wastelands.
Yup, it’s Hamas launching salvoes of unguided rockets into civilian population centers, but muh Israel is guilty of war crimes…
Seems to me that the less personal exposure one has had to MENA, the more likely they are to talk out of their ass.
Interesting phenomena.
MENA?
Translation Please.
Middle East and North Africa. Not an uncommon term.
“Middle East and North Africa. Not an uncommon term.”
I’ve never seen it before, either. I had to look it up:
3. What are some of the similarities between North Africa and the Middle East?
Some of the similarities between the two regions include a predominantly Muslim population, Arabic as the most commonly spoken language, and shared cultural practices such as food, dress, and music.
4. What are the differences between North Africa and the Middle East?
Despite these similarities, the two regions differ significantly in terms of geography, history, and politics. North Africa is made up of arid deserts, fertile river valleys, and coastal regions, while the Middle East is a mixture of deserts, mountains, and plains.
“Furthermore, one must evacuate emotions and ask a very basic question: “Who is ultimately profiting from this?”
Once this is done, one might come to a debilitating conclusion: Both “sides” might actually be on the same side.”

Some Jewish comments on the present conflict in Israel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upmrOAwfSsU
It’s real simple for me, I STAND WITH ISRAEL!
Keyboard warriors can discuss this all they want, but be aware, if or when the islamic nations finally kill the last Jews and Israeli citizens, they will set their sights on the west and every “infidel” that they can find. We should all be thanking and supporting Israel for standing on the front lines against these jihadi militant terrorists!
