Where were these people when it came to protests to divest from companies violently trampling the rights of indigenous nations in Canada?

FREE free hostages.... free free free hostages

Go home and solve your own problem... and those who live here and support it... go with them and help. This nonsense doesn't belong in Canada. Enough countries have been ruined by Middle East problems moving elsewhere...

Most of these encampments, when removed by police, turn out to involve very few students. So I don’t think they have any business occupying university property.

Why don't they do something more constructive like fundraising to supply food and shelter to the needy ? What a waste ! They need to think about something more than rebeling. Are you part of the problem or the solution ?

Where did all these Palestinians come from; all of a sudden? I did not know we had such large groups in so many countries.

These young people will do anything to get out of having to get a job.

The encampment is divisive and disruptive to Canadian society. Of course it will remain.
As long as it serves the purposes of the Canadian government.

Threatening students ....
Go do fundraising instead!!! Wrong land !

I disagree with the Palestinian stance because it comes across as heavy handed. The campus does not belong to them. It belongs to all students who hold different perspectives. The anti-Palestinian view is not entirely about the genocide, but involves the overall distrust of Hamas and the Islamic regime. I don't agree with their entitlement on campus and audacity to think that they were given a delusional authority where they decide what is the truth and what is not. The facts are there: they have intimidated students and they have refused to understand why there is even a war in the first place. And the war just to be clear is not just between Israel and Palestine, but between Western culture and Islamic principles. That is the larger picture. The encampments need to be dismantled. They have invalidated other students fears and dismissed them and attributed them as being a matter of a difference of opinion and had the audacity to say that those people need to seek mental health treatment in an interview with ctv. In fact, I believe the protesters are projecting and need mental health treatment because fear for your safety is not a disease, but hatred and anger and violence need to be treated with therapy. I question their morality and believe the goal of this protest is political power, to put it bluntly. They have numbers and they want to live their lives by their Islamic beliefs. "Islam does not adapt to society, but society adapts to Islam." It comes down to values. I believe Western values are worth preserving. We are losing our values because the people being immigrated do not abide by the same values and they are becoming greater in numbers. It's all interconnected.
