Faisal Bhabha, an associate professor of law at Osgoode Hall Law School at York University in Toronto, said Cooley “should be seriously considering a civil action for malicious prosecution and unlawful detention by the police.”

“It appears there never was a basis for the charge to be laid. Any alleged basis was clearly improper and quite likely discriminatory,” Bhabha said. “The laying of the charge would have had a chilling effect on the free exercise of Charter rights in the city and across the country. Therefore, the police should investigate to determine how such an error was made.”

Advocating for the dissolution of a country isn’t harmless to the people living there, but I agree that it shouldn’t be illegal.

Stopping the oppression of Palestinian people doesn’t have to mean the dissolution of Israel, the Israeli government could also just stop the oppression in the first place.

From which river to which sea do you think that saying is referring to?

You think it’s acceptable to have a country split in two? Thats all the slogan is calling for attributing any ntisemetic sentiment to it just shows your anti Palestine stance.

Read the Hamas charter and superimpose the four corners of their proposed borders on a map. I also never said a word about antisemitism, so you can dial back the histrionics.

I don’t give a fuck what hamas says. Why would you apply their reasoning to peaceful protests around the world clearly calling for peace?

Again your palestine=hamas shows your bias.

Depending on who you talk to, it actually might. Even this phrase, a sensible request for freedom on its face, is absolutely a call for the dissolution of Israel to some who use it. Finding an innocent in the conflict, outside of a maternity ward, is mighty challenging.

Not what it means.

Dissolving “a country that’s unequivocally commiting a genocide and trying to both dissolve a country and eradicate it’s population” shouldn’t be controversial.

Poplar?

I suppose occupying for sufficiently long makes it legitimate. Might is right etc etc

Yes, it is. Watch, I’ll do it right now:

“I think North Korea should be dissolved.”

And yet, zero people were hurt by my advocacy.

Canada proves they need stronger free speech protections every time anyone is arrested for “harmful” speech outside of fraud.

FFS no, were good. Let us deal with our shits ourselves. It’s not like the US absolutism of the 1st amendment and the like is a good example to follow.
