  • We don’t need to be an expert on the Middle East to know the difference between self defence and genocide.

    I'm glad the comment section is on. Thank you for allowing community interaction
  • Back when we had only a few mainstream news sources you could get away with this kind of bland or anodyne discussion, and take a paternalistic stance while casually dismissing legitimate dissent by demeaning youth. That no longer works…we see exactly what is happening in Gaza in real time. No one is throwing away their career and future for the sake of cos-play. David Frum is usually a staunch defender of free speech rights on campus but he has a massive blind spot here.

    Remembering all those lost to the world forever, let their memories be a blessing. To the hostages kidnapped Oct 7 - let us remember them every minute of every day, bring them home.

    Basically against Trump because he farts (so distastful, right?), but so close to his politics.
  • @xenon6947
    It is not Antisemitism to criticise Apartheid Israel. You can hide genocide with false Antisemitism allegations.
  • @mbindwane
    David is minimising the students consciousness. It’s a mistake.
  • @Anglo_Saxon1
    I do support the right for Israel to exist. I no longer support the IDF. You cannot label someone an 'anti semite' just because they criticise the Israeli government.

    Was this interview written by the Irgun or the Stern Gang?
  • @louismetz8510
    Great discussion! I like his pro-Life analogy vs Anti-Israel analogy. The permission structure that is in question, the severe inconsistencies, the Universities police free speech very intensely when it comes to the expression of center-right speech, but have all of a sudden become free speech absolutists when it comes to anti-Zionism.
  • @ABAKABAK1
    David is right. Jewish dilemma is (and always have been) : "how to integrate and not assimilate". But it is assimilation (not apartheid) that is a solution to the "Jewish question".
  • @Sarnianne
    Disgusting! Including the laughter from the host11😂😂
  • Wow, David "The Bush Administration Apologist" Frum! Where did he crawl out of? After the Iraq War, do you really want to take him seriously?😂
  • @direwolf6234
    they let them block roads & bridges with no consequences .. so why not do it on campus ??
  • @godzonic
    There was a blockade in Guelph a few months ago on the hanlon expressway, it was brief.
  • @trails3597
    Why wasn't Palestine divided into two states from the start, instead of three states?
  • @erikmar2979
    "small movement" of "a cadre of highly ideological students" is exactly how the protests against the Vietnam war started. Just go talk to the majority of the protesting students to see why they're protesting - the majority aren't "pro Palestinian" any more than their Vietnam counterparts were "pro Vietnamese" They are and were against paying for indiscriminate murder of children, regardless of national or ethnic origin.
  • The students I have heard speak are incredibly committed and articulate. I’m this is a better way to approach the issue. I think that the hardline that was just not really a good idea.
  • ✡✝☪FIGHT ANTISEMITISM!! Let the people of all faiths (Atheists welcome too!) unite to stop the ANTI-SEMITIC HOLOCAUST of the courageous people of GAZA. Thank you!✡✝☪

    The "Axis of Evil" guy has nothing to say about Iraq?
