    20,000 is low numbers for the British. If they admit that’s too many people killed, they’d have to admit that they’re an island descended from murderous, genocidal zealots and colonizing savages.

        What face is on Canadian money?

        Also, don’t look up the Canadian residential schools if you’re squeamish.

          Thats great but you understand they’re two very different countries, right?

            It’s slightly more complicated than that.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations

            And also, the Residential Schools were 100% Canadian.

            Not that Canada was the only country to have them, no. I mean, the fault for what happened in the Canadian ones was 100% on Canada. They enforced the system with fucking Mounties, and kept those torture houses going until 1997.

              It’s slightly more complicated than that.

              It’s really not. This is an article about the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It has literally nothing to do with the Commonwealth or any of the countries that make it up. It’s about a public broadcaster. Britain and their royal family has nothing to do with this, nor do Residential Schools.

                Look at the original comment in this particular thread, It calls 20k deaths rookie numbers compared to the British atrocities.

                Note how it’s talking about Britton, and by extension Canada’s past, and making the observation that Canada’s current reluctance to face the reality of a (friendly) country’s ongoing genocide is because Canada would have to face up to their own history of genocide, both when they were part of the Empire, and for decades afterward.

          A bunch of Canadian prime ministers, a civil activist, and the former queen of Canada.

      To be fair, you can say that about every country. Humans are a virus that spreads without remorse or concern.

      I mean, you’re right. In terms of proportionality, are the terms fair? No, they aren’t, for the reason you point out. They aren’t proportionately more brutal than other responses to terrorism. 22,500 is 0.004% of the population of Palestine. There’s Colonialists that have wiped out entire populations, but like the war in Iraq killed 0.6% of the population. Proportionately, Iraq killed 150 times more civilians, if I’m doing this math correctly. Not my strongest skill.

        Way off. 22k is 1% of 2.2m for Gaza

          5.4m people in all Palestine. Downvoted okay for what? The claim is that Israel is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

          0.004% of all Palestinians have been killed. It’s sad. It’s a war, though, war is sad. Is it a brutal war, or a murderous war? Have to compare it to other wars.

          Where am I wrong here?
