Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023

As far as intelligence failures go, this is worse than 9/11. For Hamas to pull off such a complex operation with the scale, demonstrates an impressive level of capability or someone let it happen. However, Hamas have lost the media war in the non-islamic world. None of the western world might interv...

Re: India - Canada - News and Discussion. (2018)

Sudham, Why are you surprised by GoB's reaction? Because you expected that they will roll over? While I'm not doubting your good intentions, the way to get articulate is do your research and make your opinions. Just reading brf is not enough, though it's a good start ;-) But calling us emotional et...

Re: India - Canada - News and Discussion. (2018)


Certainly. But do they have to be spoken about in the national parliament?

I think, more then that comment, it's the location of the comment. Is what is driving the fury of the Indian response to Trudeau.
I read somewhere that that was to protect himself from getting sued.

I think we are responding very emotionally to this in BRF. If I see it from the Canadian PM's PoV, this is brilliant. He was under pressure from the terrorist sympathisers to take the pressure off them. He was under fire for mismanaging everything and presiding over Chinese interference. With this a...
