Yara Jamal worked at the CTV News in Halifax for a little over a year before she says she was terminated with "no warning."

She didn’t speak up for Palestine, she spoke for the destruction of Israel and an Arab state where Jews are second class

From your perspective, how does the current situation in Israel and the territories that Israel controls differ from Apartheid South Africa? I’m trying to understand your world view.

Not all situations are the same. It’s a different region and situation, even if you really want it to be the same

I’m trying to understand how it is different in your eyes. How is the Israeli government’s segregation different from the Apartheid South African government’s segregation? Obviously you see a distinction but it’s not obvious to myself and I want to understand your perspective.

Easy! It’s because now a religious group that has historically been the target of unjust discrimination and genocide, are now the ones doing the genociding! The difference is you have to be more delicate in your criticisms

Got any quotes/source?

Basically any stance on this conflict besides “civilian casualties bad” is a shit take, I’m not going to be surprised if a reporter gets fired for conflating Israel v Hamas with Muslim v Jew

It’s literally in the article.

Where does is says this as I am it seeing it?

she was asked in an interview if Jewish people “could exist in a free Palestine.”

“I said, ‘Yes, Jews can exist, the Zionist ideology and the state of Israel cannot,'” she told Daily Hive.

From her perspective, she stated the gov of Israel is incompatible with a free Palestine. The whole article is quoting her, I don’t see it.

So she was penalized for a political opinion as if it were hate speech against a religious group. The two are not the same.

The article itself…

Don’t you know? Nobody reads articles, we just make judgements based on the title!

Then you are reading into it as it did not say that anywhere. Feel free to point out the exact line so we can all confirm.

“I said, ‘Yes, Jews can exist, the Zionist ideology and the state of Israel cannot,'”

That is not talking about destruction? I don’t get your point?
