We could have just taken them in.

Or not. Look what happened to Egypt or Lebanon, What a half baked idea. Look at the amount of harassment Jews in Canada had to deal with.

Okay yeah, we could have not had a program at all, I guess. But since we did, I think what I said still applies.

Why do you hate Palestinians?

It's also kind of interesting that you blame Palestinian Canadians for antisemitism in Canada. It's sort of a weird reverse image of the stupid idea of blaming Jewish Canadians for Zionist crimes in Israel and Palestine.

Wait are you saying it wasn't palastine Canadians harassing people in malls and Jewish hospitals? It's not me disliking them by stating historical facts. Everywhere that took in large amounts suffered. End fact.

Canada has traditionally had its own homegrown antisemitism problem. Palestinians didn't import it.

I can't tell what specifically you are referring to by events in malls and hospitals, but if you claim there was harassment perpetrated specifically by Palestinian Canadians, you will have to back it up.

Finally, your "historical facts" are just pure racism, including against my fellow Canadians and is intolerable. Reported.

Don't hurt your arm! A google search will prove you wrong. By the way I know you guys like hurling words incorrectly to make people feel bad but palastine isn't a race.

Neither is Jewishness a skin colour but antisemitism is racism.

Lexical definition in Canada:

Racism is any individual action, or institutional practice which treats people differently because of their colour or ethnicity. This distinction is often used to justify discrimination.

It sure is a mean word you can toss around to insult those that know history and feel differently then you. 😎
