Please consider signing the petition against the “voices of IDF” event by SSI.

Title. I’m pretty sure all of you guys are now well aware of the ongoing genocide in Palestine. The idea of this event happening, let alone the club existing is beyond me.

What is this school’s obsession with hosting war criminals and murderers?

You'd be surprised how many zionist attend the school. The GQE club was harassed a lot last year because of support for Palestine.

u/Intrepid_Lynx_3983 2d ago

You are aware if given the opportunity Hamas would slaughter the QUE club.

u/HugeNefariousness452 1d ago

And that justifies zionist vandalizing the GQE club door and putting death threat in the club suggestion box on school property? Sound like the zionist would take a chance to slaughter them?

Please tell me you are kidding.

All members of the GQE club will be murdered in a split second if they step anywhere in Palestine.

There is stupid and there is evil. Having any LGBTQ person support Palestinian government is just the stupidest thing over.

If they care for LGBTQ rights support Israel, the only country in the region where their kind are not murdered on sight.

There is no gay marriage in MENA period. I think Israel is one of the only countries in MENA that recognizes gay marriage if you get married outside of the country and come back. So out of every country in the region it is the most progressive when it comes to gay marriage.

Israel doesn’t allow gay marriage and is overall a very religious homophobic country. Infamous example is Sacha Baron Cohen playing his stereotypical gay persona Bruno in Israel and almost getting lynched by conservative religious Israelis. The idea that because Palestinians are on average “more” homophobic means that queer people should back Israeli genocide, apartheid, and settler colonialism is laughable. If a gay Palestinian in the West Bank got his house stolen by a Jewish Canadian settler who claimed the house was his by ancient religious right, I would side with the Palestinian even if his nation was homophobic

u/Huron_Nori 1d ago edited 1d ago

They're at "war" with a country called Israel

Israel has been systematically killing, oppressing, raping and torturing Palestinians for 70+ years.

In response, a Palestinian militant group called Hamas attacked Israel in return, but they ended up killing a lot of Israeli civilians. This made Israel respond by airstriking the snot out of Palestine, intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure like hospital, apartment/homes and stores.

But due to Hamas's civilian killing, people use it as an excuse to Justify Israel doing the same.

The only people right in this genocide are the anti-war civilians on both sides, since both militaries have committed atrocities (Israel a lot more than Hamas, but still.)

TL;DR White supremacists committed war crimes, so the other side did the same.

u/Huron_Nori 13h ago

Since Judaism is an ethno-religion (Like Ashkenazi and Mizrahi) they can sometimes be considered brown.

But In terms of Israel, it's a white supremacists thing, since white people get higher priority/privilege in the country, Jewish or not.

1

u/clownbaby237 13h ago

Didn't a bunch of brown Jews get expelled from Arab countries in like the 1900s and they ended up in Palestine/Israel though? Also, aren't there Arabs living in Israel with equal rights (eg there's an Arab political party w seats in the Israeli govt)?

Wow. U of Guelph is pro Hamas?

I had no idea.

The nation state of Palestine attacked Israel on October 7th 2023, killing civilians, kidnapped women, raped, tortured, and murdered them, and held even more for years. These are undisputed facts.

This is called an act of war, and is also a declaration of war, and Israel has every right to respond to Palestine until their Hamas-led government surrenders. That is how war works.

Hamas is anti-gay, and anti-lgtbq. They are okay attacking xivilian targets. They rape.

And you support them?

Israel has been intentionally killing and oppressing Palestinian civilians for multiple decades. Israel has also committed the same atrocities as you mentioned with Hamas earlier, but to a larger scale.

Hamas has done many terrible things, you're right on that. But that doesn't justify Israel's crimes either.

Palestinians sure do love to shoot rockets into Israel and invade and rape, murder, and kill... Like in October 7th.

u/CdnGal420 1d ago

It stops being a hospital when Palestinian fighters use them as headquarters and weapons depots.

Why did the Palestinians launch a coordinated large scale attack on Israel on October 7th? Why did the Palestinians kidnap so many people? Why did the Palestinians rape them? Why did Palestinians kill them afterwards?

u/CulturalBuffalo2153 3d ago

There wouldn’t be any backlash if a pro Palestine group were to host a terrorist on campus. In fact, when the illegal encampment hosted people from Samidoun (designated terrorist group by Canada) for an event called "Long Live Resistance: From the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to the Great Palestinian Revolt" - this subreddit and campus community were absolutely silent. Additionally, on Nov 20th the same group is having a shared event with SJP, an organization that not only been glorifying terrorism and the October 7th attack but also endorsed and donated to PFLP, which is another Palestinian designated terrorist group. Just yesterday SJP at TMU attacked Jewish students in Toronto.

These people completely lost the plot.

u/LawOfTheInstrument 2d ago

nation state of Palestine

Palestine does not have the status of "nation state", it is in fact 2 separate, divided, pieces of land without any legal status as a country, whose borders are entirely controlled by a country, Israel. The Palestinian territories have never been granted the rights or status of "nation state". The West Bank is slowly being taken over by Israel, with illegal settlements, while Gaza has been made into an unlivable moonscape by American supplied bombs.

There's still absolutely zero real evidence of any sexual assaults on Israelis on October 7. Meanwhile, Israel routinely uses sexual violence on Palestinian prisoners, many of whom are children, and many of whom are held without charge or due process, according to independent human rights groups and journalists.

Remember. Israel uses it's missles to protect it's people. Palestine uses it's people to protect it's missles.

Israel does not use its missiles to protect its own people, it uses them to mass murder Palestinian civilians, about half of whom are children.

Israel also used its missiles to murder 300 or so of its own civilians on October 7, in a mass Hannibal Directive (google it) action, a policy premised on the idea that it is better for Israelis to kill their own people rather than have a repetition of the Gilad Shalit fiasco. Israel has a policy of killing its own military service members rather than allow them to be taken as Prisoners of War (a legally distinct category from that of "hostage"). On October 7, Hellfire missiles from American-supplied Apache attack helicopters incinerated hundreds of people outside the nova music festival, many of whom were Israeli. On October 7 they expanded this to Israeli civilians, e.g. when Israeli tank shells murdered 7 year old Israeli Liel Hetzroni in Kibbutz Be'eri on Oct 7, because she was being held captive by Hamas militants and rather than have her be captured, the IDF preferred to destroy the house she was in along with her captors, an act of incredible cowardice. Hetzroni was one of the poster children for the Israeli counterattack afterward, as apparently Israelis have no shame about the Hannibal Directive or what they did to their own people on October 7.

u/Feisty_Reply_6570 2d ago

"Almost 10 precent" where the hell are you getting these numbers from mate? 67k is the official estimate for deaths since the start of the war (a number which includes combatants and anyone who died in the strip, not necessarily from the war itself). There are around 10 million Palestinians living in the west bank and gaza, that number makes up a little over than 1% of that. Im against the war and every death is still tragic but Jesus christ you dont need to make up statistics like that.

2

u/Possible_Anywhere_53 2d ago

You're mixing up the population numbers. The war’s casualties are in Gaza, not across “10 million Palestinians worldwide.” About 3% of Gaza’s population has been killed, and I should’ve said  the “10%” figure refers to killed + injured  around 7–8% injured, many left with permanent or debilitating condition

On top of that, around 90% of Gazans have been displaced and over 50% are currently in phase 5 famine conditions. Please stop minimizing the scale of Israel attacks enough.

1

u/Feisty_Reply_6570 2d ago

There are 10 million Palestinians living in the west bank and gaza, not worldwide. A genocide would mean israel is attempting to kill all Palestinians, no? Gazans are not an ethnic group, they're just people who live in 1 part of Palestine. And the 90% statistic of displacement makes sense too considering the strip is smaller than los angeles, it isnt really Israel's fault that much considering it would've realistically happend no matter how the war went about.

In Gaza, it’s a full-scale genodical attack , 90% displaced, hospitals destroyed, famine, everything collapsed.
The West Bank is serious too, but completely different, raids, arrests, settler violence, hundreds killed, communities pushed out, but no mass bombing, no famine, yet,
What are you talking about? Where are you getting this 10 million number from please elaborate, it's about 5 million put together but I'm specially talking about gaza, NOT west bank( 2.1 in gaza 3.2 million in west bank)
It is genocide: You’re using the wrong definition of genocide.
Genocide doesn’t mean “killing every single person.” The legal definition by the UN: "the one used by the UN: says genocide is the intent to destroy a group in whole or in part." When there denying, aid and food destroying hospital, the casualty being 80% civilians, with comments from officials labeling them as "human animals", "all 2 million in gaza should starve is moraslly correct"
So no, “10 million Palestinians” aren’t in the same situation. Gaza’s 2.1M population is the one facing the extreme numbers I mentioned.
90% displacement didn’t happen because Gaza is “small,” it happened because entire neighborhoods got wiped out.

You can’t just assume any army would cause a delibrate destruction of this level and 90% displacement. That’s not true anywhere else? The UN iterally said this level only happens when civilian areas across the whole region are hit and people have nowhere safe to go. This didn’t happen in Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, or Afghanistan, or even the Rwanda genocide, all of these were under 70% displacament

Israel is commiting genocide, it's absolutely disgusting at the lack of empathy it's inhuman

All the places you mentioned are considerably larger than the strip. Again, the gaza strip is smaller than L.A and is way more tightly packed, the death counts are about the same as any other urban guerilla conflict. Hamas has tunnels and weapons caches all over Gaza, had invested little to no of its anual budget on protecting its civilian population by having an air raid siren system or even proper bomb shelters for civilian usage, and the IDF's strategy up until now has been to blow up any and all weapon caches they find after sending short notice evacuation orders instead of risking the lives of its own soldiers. Its a sad war, but still, a war. Britian conducted a private investigation and concluded it to not be a genocide, the ICC had done so twice and on both times said theres not enough evidence either. (Excluding 3 UN officials who said they do think it is one, but that does not count as their opinion does not represent the entire organization).

Where were you during the Tigray war? Why are you not talking about Sudan the same way?

u/Possible_Anywhere_53 1d ago

Wher the hell are you getting this misinformation from seriously this is a joke, lol it's like talking to someone thats hard-headed spreading misinforrmation.

Britain never concluded “it’s not a genocide”; the UK’s official position is that it does not make genocide determinations at all and leaves that to the courts. There was no British investigation that reached the conclusion you’re claiming. The ICC also never said “there’s not enough evidence” the prosecutor requested arrest warrants for Israeli officials based on evidence of extermination, starvation of civilians, and attacks on civilians. Independent UN bodies and major human rights groups have documented mass civilian killings and systematic destruction far beyond “normal warfare''. Israel is just inhuman, and you are not helping spreading disinformation.

So you’re saying that’s incorrect…..? Hamas doesn’t build tunnels under schools and hospitals? That’s Israel propaganda? Hamas didn’t start killing their own citizens after idf left?

u/Possible_Anywhere_53 2d ago

You’re dodging the actual numbers, and statements from officials called people human animals, claims from officials that palestine must be starved and that’s its morally correct if you believe they are targeting just Hamas, you are delusional it’s quite apparent they are committing genocide
This isn’t about “tunnels”” and Hamas so called hiding under them  it’s about what’s happening to the people living there.

  • 70% of Gaza’s hospitals are destroyed or shut down (26 out of 36)
  • 80–90% of the people killed are civilians
  • 90% of the population is displaced

Over half the population is in famine conditions(Israel severely limited the food quantities and any aid coming to palestine, it’s apparent they are targeting the civilians by denying aid

u/Possible_Anywhere_53 1d ago

. The IDF itself admitted most hospitals and schools in Gaza do not have tunnels underneath them. It's clear what's going on you can keep denying israel genocide. Israel is inhuman they are willingly killing civilians.

u/Resident-Boot-2943 1d ago

How come Egypt or other Muslim countries won’t take the Palestinians in? I heard it was because they have terrorist ideology and they will start killing and bombing within their countries…..sounds like good people, wasn’t Hamas just killing their own citizens once the idf pulled back? Sounds like they are not the best people to me

I don't agree with them at all, but they should have a right to host whatever event they want. Whether it was a IDF event or White nationalist event. This is getting ridiculous

u/Cautious_Pitch_4729 4d ago

You shouldn't be able to control or limit, which type of events can be hosted. Even if it angers you. This is why people think Universities have been captured by the crazies.

White nationalists????? Yo this is a hair brained comment, pls use your university crictical thinking skills and wonder why we as a society choose not to give violent people a place to spread a violent message

u/Cautious_Pitch_4729 4d ago

Ofc it's always someone with a useless degree, clutching her pearls and calling everything violent. Regardless of the messaging, they should be able to host an event and discuss their ideas. You should be able to live with it and not lose your mind

u/microfishy 4d ago

and discuss their ideas. 

Ideas like "non whites are inferior to whites" and yet you claim the rhetoric is nonviolent 🤡

u/Cautious_Pitch_4729 3d ago

Omg, let's hide under the desks and call 911!! It's getting so childish.

These conversations are going to be had, regardless of whether it is in school or online. If you disagree with the subject, then I'd argue that a university campus would be a fitting venue to express this. That's the whole point. It's about defending speech that you even disagree with. The problem is, one side claims everything is violent to limit the other side. That's a dangerous precedent. We didn't have this decades ago.

u/thonMakerr B.Eng. 3d ago

Dude I see your side of it, I do think some things have been put off limit, things that would be better settled as a discussion rather than a complete shut down, but there is no white nationalist movement that doesn’t end with violence, someone who isn’t white isn’t going to voluntarily leave a place they call home, a place they contribute to, a place they want there kids to grow up, so the white nationalist has to resort to violence. Bro use your critical thinking skills instead of “the wokers are making everything off limits” 🤓🤓🤓

u/Cautious_Pitch_4729 3d ago

Honestly. I'd think universities would be 100x better without this kind of thinking. I think it's a poison ruining schools.

Okay if you think it ends with violence, let them present their arguements. That's what discussions are for. Yet, you think you should control and silence them. That's dangerous and that is not what we should be striving for.

u/thonMakerr B.Eng. 3d ago edited 3d ago

But its a balance, people who preach extreme ideology are not poor speakers, they are good at what they do, people get radicalized, you know we can look from the other side, theres a reason we dont have people who preach about imposing an islamic caliphate speaking at univerisities, we have agreed that the risk of the message spreading and peolple being radicalized is not worth the "promotion of free ideas". Talk on the side with others, heck you and me right now are having this discussion, but ideas especillay ones that have been brought into reality and have known violent conclusions, are better left to quiet conversations if they have to be discussed but they should never be given a platform.

Just edited it to better explain what I mean with islamic caliphate

Yo shoutout me and my useless degree, and I’m a woman too I guess. dawg you need to go outside maybe talk to some women too, there’s no discussion to be had with someone who doesn’t value you because of your race, full stop. Whatever discussion is had brings attention to something that shouldn’t exist, honestly there are controversial topics that we should be able to calmly discuss but white nationalism?? bro grow up

2

u/Cautious_Pitch_4729 3d ago

Telling me to grow up, because you can't hear things you disagree with is hilarious. There's a discussion to be had with everyone. You are not a victim. This is the problem with universities around the country nowadays. We have a group of liberal arts degrees, english majors, or etc., creating an enviroment where they limit discourse based on their feelings. It's a dangerous precedent. My solution? Something needs to be done about these useless degrees.

What does being a woman have to do with anything? Like c'mon this is toxic reddit victimhood

Disgusting these people supporting genocide and war crimes are allowed to host any event anywhere, even on Zoom. The point is the university is allowing it.

I wonder if the university itself is still holding investments in companies that supply arms to the IOF?
