The Toronto Star’s “social and racial justice columnist” Shree Paradkar is taking a lot of heat from (((trolls))) on the internet, just because she is making the eminently reasonable point that if you disregard all of the videos and eyewitness testimony and Hamas’ own statements, we don’t really know who butchered 1,200 Israelis on October 7.

It’s actually your fault for misunderstanding her, though.

Also, why are we getting all hung up on who did what to whom so many years weeks instead of trying to move forward and end this fighting? That’s perfectly in line with Paradkar’s long-standing philosophy that the past is the past and we shouldn’t get all hung up on it even if your ancestors did something bad to her ancestors.

If only we could all just get along, if not for certain (((people))) who can’t and won’t let go of their real or imagined traumas, which by the way they probably did to themselves because reasons.


Meanwhile, Owen Jones of The Guardian wants you to know that these videos which you think show Hamas using Al-Shifa hospital as a base of operations and prison for hostages actually shows how they’re taking good care of their host- er, honoured guests they’re hosting from Israel.

The (presumably surgical-grade) meat cleaver is actually for the grand feast they have planned later, I guess. And this video? Why, that’s obviously a game of hide and seek.


The far left’s reaction to October 7 reminds me of how MAGAworld tries to spin the Beer Gut Putsch of January 6. The storming of the Capitol didn’t happen and also it was completely justified and it was actually a false-flag operation by Antifa working in coordination with federal agents (as they do) and in any event it was just a peaceful tourist visit as long as you ignore all the videos of them smashing stuff which by the way were probably created using CGI and AI and other acronyms.
