This is an excellent entree into the world of Quebec politics, and commentary. Thanks so much --Marceau is impossible, as many of us know.

Thank you for this. I, too, believe we must find ways to peace and it is not by waging war; however, politically convenient that is. I really enjoyed hearing about TLMEP as I do not listen to it. If I was proficient in French I would certainly do so.

I really do not need to hear this type of "debate" or hear about it. Against the objectives of power, the debates always seem to be staged with someone posturing as opposing, but accepting all the basic premises of power. The mouthpieces of power never engage anyone who can seriously call them out.

The issue in Palestine is this. The country belongs to the Palestinians. The Jewish settlers never had any right to come there and displace another people. Whatever Palestinians do to get rid of the occupation is right. 

Anything Israel does to suppress Palestinian resistance is, ipso facto, criminal. When this is acknowledged, further discussion is possible. If this is denied, discussion must end. Attempts to justify anything whatsoever to do with Israel must be silenced.

Silenced? No, we don't win by silencing debate.

Most people are repelled by debate, for good reason. You do not get truth from debate.
