    Also, thought experiment

    • The United States elects Hamas. Literal Hamas.
    • Some United States militants kill 5000 Canadians.

    Is it OK for Canada to destroy more than half of your civilian infrastructure, displace half the population, and keep new england for itself while calling Americans subhuman beasts? Why or why not?

      If USA supported HAMAS and didn’t oust them for 17 years… Yes. I’d be okay with Canada defending itself via violence. Quite literally would hope that Canada would do that… Especially

      and keep new england for itself

      As it would free those people from literal Terrorists.

      calling Americans subhuman beasts?

      Now where did I do that? Where did I call Palestinians subhuman?

        Yes. I’d be okay with Canada defending itself via violence. Quite literally would hope that Canada would do that… Especially

        Even bombing your house and killing half your family? Are you sure?
