Palestine-Israel Crisis Megathread
(lemmy.ml)
Due to the severity of the situation and the fast flowing news cycle, we have decided to create a general megathread for discussion regarding the conflict.
Informal/Satirical news sources are not allowed on the main feed of the community but you are free to post them in this thread.
Please remember that all community and instance rules apply to this thread hence keep is civil.
There are a few Canadian citizens stuck in Gaza and very much in danger. I’m hoping that some solution can be found to help these people out.
Bro wtf. The millions of people in Gaza are in danger, how does their individual citizenships matter when there is non-descriminative bombing over the urban areas as well as exit routes? Israelis even bombed and killed prisoners from Israel in Gaza
As a Canadian, dude's probably interested to see how the Canadian government will respond.
I wouldn't hold my breath. Trudeau isn't going to step out of line from American policy to save a few measly Canadians, and Biden won't allow Americans to leave unless Egypt opens their borders to Palestinians (which definitely isn't going to lead to ethnic cleansing, of course).
Are you trying to say that the Canadian citizens stuck in Gaza are somehow more special than the other citizens?
Yes! At least they are to me as a Canadian citizen. Not more important in human terms, but definitely more of interest to me to see how Canadians in a war zone are dealt with by our government.
Is this what you're referring to?
Thank you! Sorry ignorant American and I wanted to learn more! I'm not sure why you were down voted so much by the little bit I read.
