This is really interesting. We’ve seen an Ontario MPP censured and kicked out of her party, and an Ontario medical resident disciplined to some extent for similar comments. Who can fire these high school students to prevent them from speaking truth? I miss that security myself, but it’s nice to be inspired by the youth of today
Each new generation starts off so naive and idealistic. It really is nice.
However…
Number of times I’ve heard “two-state solution for Palestine” mentioned in my lifetime: at least 1 million
Odds that the two-state solution will happen this time: asymptotically small
Every generation’s idealism is broken on the anvil of the Land of Abraham. That is where we are most powerfully reminded that all the religions of Abraham are atrocious. Jews and Muslims kill each other over tiny scraps of land while Arab billionaires and hardcore Christians in the West fund them for their own ends. It is all a tragic farce that, in the end, is all based on a bunch of Bronze Age bullshit about the “Holy City” of Jersalem.
No, they are idealistic for being against ethnic cleansing, and naive to think that the situation in Israel is so simplistically categorized, and for thinking that their outrage will change the Middle East situation.

Good for them! It appears the younger generations have no issue standing up for what is right, I applaud them.

They’re so naive to be against ethnic cleansing!
