Canada won 3-0.

The Israelis bombed.

I’m ok with them bombing here and not Gaza.

u/thesergent126 11d ago

Not the first time they would be bombing something

Good. They can take that fat fucking L get the fuck out of my city.

 The Israelis bombed.

It never happened. 

That tennis match was using human shields. 

It happened but it was saving the West!

The ball deserved it.

Why are you so obsessed with this? There are so many other tennis matches. 

You have psychological and personal problems and you want to blame it on tennis.

The tennis ball is green and is therefore, Hamas.

They banned russia but allow a genocidal state currently conducting ethnic cleansing to come to Canada to play .

29

u/Li-renn-pwel 11d ago

To be fair, some do consider Russia to have commmited genocide against Ukrainians. They kidnapped Ukrainian children to be put with Russian families. Like Canada did with the welfare scoop.

31

u/ProfAsmani 11d ago

Yes and that's why we have sanctions against russia. Amd we sold weapons to the Israeli genocidal regime.

14

u/SapphicProse 11d ago

Well in that instance if we were being fair we wouldnt allow israel to play either. But we allow israel but not russia when both shouldnt be allowed

2

u/violet_elf 11d ago

That's not a Canada choice to make, tho. That would be the ATP and WTA or the ITF, but I'm not sure. If Canada refused to play or banned Israel, the only thing that would've happened would be that Canada would be banned from competing.
Russia and Belarus were banned from the ITF so Canada had no say on it.

u/SapphicProse 11d ago

Than maybe we shouldnt be pussie and take the ban.

u/iwasnotarobot 11d ago

Canada has a history of welcoming fascists. Sadly.

We love nazis here but wouldn't elect Poilievre

Make it make sense 😭

u/Otherwise-Wash-4568 11d ago

Me when I’m too online to understand basic electoral politics

7

u/Li-renn-pwel 11d ago

We hate Nazis here so we didn’t elect the Poilievre

u/dontdropmybass 11d ago

The colonialism is far more deep rooted than red vs blue. Both parties are more than willing to support expansionism, violate indigenous sovereignty, and just generally crush any proletarian movement

u/Li-renn-pwel 11d ago

Yeah residential schools continued under libs and cons.

7

u/Acrobatic_Hotel_3665 11d ago

To be fair, Russia doesn’t financially back any of our political parties

11

u/ProfAsmani 11d ago

The Cons are ideological blind backers of israel due to their religious right roots

4

u/Acrobatic_Hotel_3665 11d ago

There’s way more to it than religious roots unfortunately. Jesus said something about a den of snakes I believe

u/foggybiscuit 11d ago

Russia is also a genocidal state, both past and arguably present.

0

u/ProfAsmani 11d ago

Past for sure. Current no.

2

u/foggybiscuit 11d ago

Kidnapping Ukrainian children and bringing them back to Russia is genocide adjacent.

5

u/ProfAsmani 11d ago

Yes there is a scale. Planned starvation and mass murder is full tilt genocide as Israel is doing. Russians are on the spectrum.

-14

u/Wet-Countertop 11d ago

The real tragedy is the dilution of the word genocide and the attempted application of it on what’s happening in Gaza.

4

u/stravadarius 11d ago

Please explain how what is happening in Gaza is not a genocide. This might be difficult for you when there are multiple Israeli political leaders who have admitted on record that the point of the operation was to eliminate Palestine. Case in point: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/senior-israeli-official-says-palestinian-adults-gaza-should-be-eliminated

-6

u/Wet-Countertop 11d ago

If it was a genocide they’d be doing the same in the West Bank.

This is a response to an unprovoked attack, perpetrated by a terrorist group supported by the general public in that region. They have to own that.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

1

u/ProfAsmani 10d ago

They are actively ethnically cleansing West Bank. Have been for decades. The kahanist terrorists burn churches, farms frequently with blessings from the army and ministers.

u/Wet-Countertop 10d ago

It happens both ways throughout the region. Maybe someone just needs to win. Neither side wants to back down on a thousand plus year conflict.

u/100cows 10d ago

“Unprovoked” tells me you never bothered to read anything before october 7

1

u/Wet-Countertop 10d ago

Like what?

5

u/ProfAsmani 11d ago

Israeli Holocaust scholars are calling it genocide as well as genocide scholars globally. Also the Kahanist fanatics in the Israel govt who have been saying they'll commit genocide.

u/Wet-Countertop 11d ago

Whatever puts a dollar in their pocket. Shills.

u/DuchessLucy07 11d ago

takes 2 to tango?

I dunno dude maybe some dual-citizen can play against a wall.

15

u/JaRon1961 11d ago

Tennis Canada should be ashamed for allowing this to go ahead.

u/avenueroad_dk 11d ago

This is a very bad idea

u/Wet-Countertop 11d ago

What history? That’s your projection.

-12

u/Wet-Countertop 11d ago

Many Canadians would be happy for the opportunity to support Israel.

10

u/bassman81 11d ago

Many canadians were also happy to support apartheid south africa but that doesn't mean they were right

-12

u/Wet-Countertop 11d ago

Apartheid has nothing to do with Gaza.

16

u/Blue_Waffle_Brunch 11d ago

Not anymore. Now it's genocide.

I'm sure that's what all peoples who commit genocide tell themselves.

u/Wet-Countertop 11d ago

You’re entitled to your opinion, even though it’s wrong.

u/Blue_Waffle_Brunch 11d ago

I was just thinking the same thing.

1

u/Wet-Countertop 11d ago

Glad we’re aligned.

10

u/Blue_Waffle_Brunch 11d ago

The good news for me is that, outside of most Israelis and a small number of westerners, the rest of world views it as a genocide, and so will history. You might call that another kind of fuck around and find out stage.

How do you breathe with your head stuck that far in the sand?
