beautifully said. as morality as we knew it disappears all action is permissible university administrators’ inaction is a sad proof and is occurring all over the world
Another blatant example of inversion of morality. If leaders of western society and spineless politicians continue to respond weakly to this and other acts of perversion on our history we will slide further and faster into the abyss.
Since 2006 Gaza was free of Israelis. That “Free Gaza” voted for Hamas who proceeded to build terror tunnels on an industrial scale connecting every hospital, school, mosque and UNWRA office. There was zero attempt to build anything useful for Arabs. All they want is to kill all Jews as they’ve been taught by their ideology of death for Allah.
The fusion of the leftists goals with Hamas’s absolute intent for death at any cost speaks to the nihilistic insanity of the left’s obsession with burning everything we’ve built down.
In the interest of political gain leaders like Trudeau, Doug Ford, David Eby, Kamala Harris and others do not absolutely condemn these acts only allow the insanity to metastasize.
Not only the vandalism but the lack of coverage of it. Briefly mentioned on CNN’S website and in the Daily Mail (😖) as well as some Jewish publications. Not a peep from major outlets.
I don't want to distract from the key point here, which is that there is a real demonization of Jewish people, culture. and history and we all need to be aware of this and fight back. One of the most disturbing conversations I have had is with a healthcare worker who works on the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver who no longer feels safe because she is Jewish. This is a tragedy for Canadian society.
The writing is on the wall. How can we get the genie back in the bottle.? I live in Israel, and it was reported that 15.000 new soldiers have arrived in Syria. Iran is financing demonstrations in London. We have rocket attacks everyday from the North, and Haifa hospital is going underground. So Pieter your article is spot on, but let's also look at the global picture and include the real dangers for the State of Israel.
Spot on Pieter. We have had it too good for too long and as a result have become so “enlightened” that we’ve lost all sense of reality and plain logic. So, let’s open our borders to let in our enemies, let’s not invest in our defense, let’s weaken our energy security and let our societies be infected by woke propaganda in order to numb our minds. We suffer from “Suicidal Empathy” (credit Gad Saad).
Deeply disturbing. One caution though. Terms like 'woke' are playing into a false narrative created by the alt right. When you say append 'woke' to activist what are you trying to say that the word 'activist' does not convey. I definitely consider myself woke and regard it as a good thing. For me it means that I am aware of the history of Canada, how we have developed, who has been exploited and how I have been advantaged.
Steven this is a much longer discussion. The Canadian journalist Tara Henley coined the term 'identarian moralism' to better describe woke: "this new line of thinking originated at elite American universities ... it presents itself as leftist but eschews key leftist concepts such as class analysis, universalism, and the importance of free speech. Instead, it views politics through the lens of identity, focusing on equalizing outcomes between identity groups, as well as on problematizing language, criticizing social, cultural, and interpersonal norms, and building up a vast administrative class to advance such efforts"
I read Tara's piece and thought is was very poorly thought out and researched. It flattens a long ongoing conversation that has a lot more historical depth than she recognizes. It is false that this line of thinking "originated at elite American universities." This is part of the disinformation campaign. Likewise "building up a vast administrative class to advance such efforts." Any quantification of this vast administrative class? No. Because it does not exist.
Disgraceful and a warning of the growing menace now threatening us.Time for our leaders to abandon the foolhardy appeasement.

You’re funny. You’ll argue with the fire fighters over the right size hose to use while your house burns down.
No need to be snide. People who want serious conversations should use words carefully.
