minus-squareCyborganism@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up25·2 months agoWe got IDF war criminals walking freely to universities to do conferences and violently beat up protesters and nothing happens to that person.

minus-squareStinkyFingerItchyBum@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·2 months agoDetained for secondary inspection, not arrested, but for 4 hours. It’s deing a dick to send a message. The wrong message, from Canada. Its shameful and an embarrassment.
