What a bunch of Hypocritical Crap!

Ontario condemns dissent at universities

You bunch of hypocrites! I don't really have a problem with the fact that as Canadians, we protest that we have an issue with another nation violating peoples human rights, but when we protest that someone has and "Apartheid Policy" and has put people on a "Bantustan", I think we had better hang our heads and be a little more embarrassed.

Apatheid - A policy or practice of separating or segregating groups
Bantustan - A bantustan (also known as black African homeland or simply homeland) was a territory set aside for black inhabitants of South Africa and South West Africa (now Namibia), as part of the policy of apartheid.

Gee ... that sounds like a great Canadian Institution ... oh yeah ... THE INDIAN RESERVATION!

I am not supporting the fact that Israel has an oppressive attitude against the Palestinians, nor do I believe that any policy that subverts the basic human rights can be tolerated by good men but before we stand up and start pointing fingers, we should make sure that someone can't point them right back.

Now before I hear the "Thomas Jefferson" defense, I want people to understand there is NO defense for Canadian History. Israel's been doing this for 50 years, while being surrounded by hostile nations. How long has the reservation been here in Canada? 100+ years? Are we surrounded by hostile nations who claim the First Nations as political prisoners?

How dare we point the finger of blame at a nation under siege for doing what they do when we have been doing it far longer, just quieter.
