Yep, he said it. The Palestinians are living a lie. They know it’s not their land

Seems like everyone forgot the massacre of innocent lives.

That Constantine wire won't do anything without live rouds

They have the right to NOT live with us as they will kill our property value!

The Palestinians have on many occasions since 1948 been offered the opportunity to live side by side with Israel in peace, but they have always rejected it. \nThe case in point was in 2005 when Israeli settlers of Gaza left on masse and the Palestinians were given the whole strip including the opportunity to be self-sustaining economically. The Israelis left them greenhouses and an infrastructure and they were also supplied with millions in aid that would have made it possible for them to prosper, but what did they choose to do instead? October 7th, 2023 terror attacks happened. They chose to arm themselves and decimate Israeli civilian communities.\n\nNow that there is war and many Palestinians are dying, the Saudis and other oil-rich Arab nations, who are neighbours of the Palestinians won't lift a finger to help - i.e. give refuge to members of the Islamic Ummah, who needs their help. Oh, they will give financially, but that is no real sacrifice to them whatsoever. They have no problems in spending millions to sign football players for their league. If they really cared for their Palestinian brothers they would do more than that. That is simply hypocritical.

if they want this sharia law thing then move to a country who also lives by these medieval cultures, not here in the UK.

He is basically saying no we will not accept any refugees! We are comfortable with our lives and there is no room for anyone other than our ppl

If the Palestinians wanted to live in safety and security in their land then they should not have voted Hamas as the ruling political party of Palestine.

I don’t think the reporter asked a stupid question or showed disrespect. Let’s face it there are many here and abroad that think this way.. so if she is doing her job she will ask the difficult questions and ask what others may think but can’t .. wont or don’t have access to do so. His response was simply the solution is to take the weight off the oppressed n let them live in peace n dignity in their own land.. ??

If they want to live under sharia law they need to leave the UK and never return, get them all out

It's really sad that the massive rich Asian influx has ruined the quality of life for many people who have lived generations in many western countries.

Canada should limit and screen immigrants who wants to live here, they should also embrace Canadian culture not destroy and change. Canada is a Christian nation and we celebrate Thanksgivings and Christmas those who oppose should not come

So he supports the removal of Hamas so that Gazans can live in safety and dignity?

The wealthy oil tycoons, the Saudis, never carry their own weight. Where are the Palestinians supposed to live when their homes have been destroyed?

The Palestinian leadership has proven time and time again that they prefer trying to destroy Israel to living in peace. Israel has a naval blockade? I WONDER WHY.

A lot of Palestinians lived in NY, states in the US and other parts of the world like UK they don’t want to live in other Muslim countries lol

Go live in an Islamic country.

In my teens, early 20s (early 00's) i dreamed of emigrating to Canada and Toronto. It had beautiful nature, was clean, safe, nice people and a great standard of living. But seeing it now especially the big cities is really sad. Many countries have had major turn arounds (Colombia for instance) and hopefully Canada can get back to being a great place again. Love from the UK .

So why dont they help and support Ukrainians to live in their land.

What is more important, people's lives or the land Peoples live on ,well brother people are more important than land .

Probably the only province with more reliable utilities on a consistent basis is Saskatchewan. The utilities are partially owned by the provincial government so they have more direct oversight. That's probably the only reason that power outages are fixed at a reasonable speed and there's an ISP that is decently trustworthy. Hard to believe I'm praising one of the worst governments in the country for anything. Probably more that I could say for the Prime Minister who can't live up to his family legacy. He lacks the backbone and attitude Pierre had. Now that was a good politician, one who would tell the truth and not give some prettied up nonsense. It sure cost him popularity but made him highly effective. Now their all weak and pathetic or a corporate puppet.

Where is the Jewish tribe of Mecca and medina ?? Doesn’t they have the right to live their land ?

Look! I respect life,\nAnd I want Palistine to live in peace in there own land, and have a good life and a good future, for the Palistinians children to grow in a peaceful world.\nAnd Israel also needs to know! That Israel can live in peace with the Palistinians as neighbours!\nThe weight can be lifted!\nThe killing can be stopped,\nBut this won't stop! Without the help! of the Arab world leaders and the Israeli leaders,\nTo stop the killings, to live in peace, to live in there own lands with dignity, with safety security on there lands!\nIt's time for peace talks on both sides, with Israel leaders, and the Arab world leaders, The humanitarian thing is peace talks, let's stop talking around the bush! and get things done!\nIt's time to swollow the pride! and revengeful hate on both sides and push for peace talks,\nBefore we have no lives to save!

I live in a condo I pay a $2100 mortgage payment for a 220k mortgage of $700+500=$1200 maintenance and levy. $1800 Property Tax I work throughout BC so I spend $10.000 on fuel and $3000 car maintenance. left over on Grocery. The running cost makes me feel like $20000 down in advance every month which means if I get $ 20,000 today it will be zero right away.

The cost of living is crazy is Toronto. Growing up in the 90s and 2000s was beautiful. Fortunate to own real estate now as I cant imagine what rent will look like in 20 years.

there is only one reason , capitalism takes lives if you have nothing to offer that is valuable to capitalism , your life will be a lie under capitalism , food sleep and eternal struggle to pay the bills \nand the problem with capitalism is unlimited views in a limited world (simple math inflation worldwide is growing at an average of 10% per year, how many of you in the capitalist world have a salary growth of 10% per year, and many other reasons too)

So you don't want them there where you live. They shouldn't attack Israel.

His answer is NO.\nAnd it sounds like he is fine letting everyone that wants out now too stay because it would be better if there was not war... But there is war.\nTruth is the southern border with egypt is full of people trying to flee gaza. I am sure they want to come back but right now this man's ideology doesn't help anyone living in reality

Aside from this war Palestinians, lebanese and Syrians are never welcomed in the gulf countries with open arms anyways. For example let's say a palestinian persons family works and live in Kuwait and they want to visit their family whether it is their parents etc, the Kuwaiti authorities will force them to apply for a visa the long and hard way through the Kuwaiti embassy. However on the other hand Canadians, Americans and British who are strong Israeli supporters are allowed to enter these same gulf countries with ease in a visa on arrival basis. This is not even to consider war. This is generally speaking. Can anyone see the hypocrisy of the arab world here in regards to the Palestinian cause as well as the other fellow neighboring countries?

Canada is not a prosperous country for any individual, no matter if you immigrated or were born here. High taxes, mismanagement from all levels of Government has severely impacted the quality of life of every person living in Canada. When a mass evacuation of Canadians is at it's highest in 73 years than something is amiss. Sad but it is Canada's reality, it's no longer the country it once was.

How many Arab nations are there? And how many Jewish states? The palestinians are Arab and have many places to live.

Don't live downtown Vancouver. Move to Langley and either drive to work or take the $5 bus to the sky train to work. Most monthly expenses is rent so try to minimize that.

Who in their right mind would want to live in a country that our leader's have fill to the brim with terrorists from all over the world

I am certain she wasn’t expecting that answer, that one I also didn’t expect myself but I am 100% with him. No person wants to leave their country unless they are forced to or just want a different experience elsewhere but all people want to live in their country its just the politicians always chasing their citizens away.

Right of living is also for israel. Palestine should stop the killing of Israeli

Well said it, Palestinians deserve to live in peace in THEIR LAND, Israel it’s the one that need to stop committing atrocities against Palestinians

Palestine is not a country. It's never been a country. Palestinians are a combination of Egyptians, Jordanians, Syrians, and Lebanese arabs that were expelled from their countries and the British Mandate. The area of land you're referring to is not Palestine. It's Israel or, if you want to go back further, Judea and Sumaria. The people who rightfully live there, and have lived there for thousands of years, are happy to let others live there as well; as long as they're peaceful. Seems to be hard for some.

India is already suffering a lot. First they divided our land and created Pakistan on the basis of religion. Next they killed and drove away kashmiri hindus thus changing the demography of the land and now they want free kashmir. And the ones living in India are creating ruckus everyday of all sorts.

Just go away and go live in a islamic country, oh no i forgot you've come from there because you don't like it.

I WOULD NOT WANT TO LIVE THERE BUT LOVE TO VISIT CANADA SO NOW AND THEN. IT IS A BEAUTIFULL COUNTRY WHICH NEEDS TO SOLVE MANY PROBLEMS. I VISITED CANADA TWICE

He is 100% correct. The Palestinians have every right to live in their land and no one has a right to force them to leave their land?

What is that question? linking palestinian plight with accepting them as refugees? Palestinians don't want to be refugees, they want to live peacefully and freely with dignity on their land. Why would the arab world want to help Israel to kick them out? Silly question ?

Do the Israelites not have the same rights? They have a historical right to thier land, they just want to live in peace but to begin try to achieve this hamas has to go.

All the Arabs keep saying the Palestinians have the right to live on their land but never mention the Jews have the right to live in their ancestral land as well.

He basically said: they made their bed and now they can lie in it. \n\nThere’s quite a few Palestinians trying to leave and seek refuge in Egypt since they opened their borders to take a limited number of them in.. as long as they’re not associated with Hamas. \n\nHamas brought this war to the Palestinian’s doorstep in Gaza and if other Arab nations don’t want to open their borders to the Palestinians who would like to leave because of the war, then there will be an increased number of civilian casualties. Just because their fellow Arabs refuse to take them as refugees doesn’t mean Israel loses the right to defend itself from the barbaric terrorist attack Hamas launched against them. \nAny other country would have the right to defend itself from terrorists that live at their borders. If Hamas cared about their citizens, they’d have a plan for them and their safety once they initiated this war on Oct 7th. But it seems like Hamas’s only plan for them was to be disposable pawn martyrs caught in between them and Israeli forces. \n\nYou can’t torture, rape and kill 1,400 Israeli citizens/foreign nationals and take 200+ hostages back to Gaza during a depraved terrorist attack and then cry ceasefire when that country declares war and is winning. Especially when you’re still holding onto hostages and not honoring the terms of the first ceasefire by letting the Red Cross see the hostages. \n\nIf these other countries cared about the Palestinians, they’d take any refugees that wanted to leave. They clearly don’t want to do that for some reason. They’re watching from afar with their popcorn, saying “isn’t it terrible what the Israeli’s are doing.. but we won’t let them come here to escape, which would let the Israelis fight this war with Hamas, who initiated it, without civilians in between.” With no mention of how Hamas as put them in the middle and isn’t protecting them. Also no mention of any responsibility Hamas has for bring this war onto them by the large scale terrorist attack, that includes hundreds of civilian hostages of all ages.

Canada's a shithole country. I left for the USA after living there for 30 years and I quadrupled my salary and halved my tax rate while keeping my cost of living almost the same. Healthcare quality is way better here. Fuck Canada.

Most of the buildings were gone, where should they live?

And yet when asked about a 2 state solution they don't want that at all. As though Isrealis don't have that right or cannot have the dignity to live in the land that was their since biblical times. \nAlthough well spoken truth is no one wants to help a lending hand to Palestinians since they think of them to be untrustworthy.

I'm from Hamilton. And the ugliness that I find in my city is the amount of homeless people on the streets living on opioids laced with fentanyl. We have a homeless problem, a drug addiction problem, and a mental health problem in the downtown core.

Its highly depressing for parents who come only with love of their children. I believe if you have everything in India ..there is no need to go abroad. Paise ke greed kabhi khatam nai hoti. You get quality of life in canada but at the cost of depression . Weather is so depressive , very poor medical facilities .. no one has time to talk.. poor food with no taste. if you are earning good in india with no liabilities you are the King & can live luxurios life . East or West..India is the best
