Israeli soldiers in the Palestinian enclave have shared dozens of videos mocking the destruction of Gaza, trivializing the bombings and playing with objects found in abandoned houses

    Also, I seriously doubt a song that contains such dehumanizing language about a specific group of people would become a hit in modern Canada.

    It definitely could. It’s the easiest thing in the world to dehumanize another group. Its happened in every country on the planet. The idea that Canada is somehow immune from genocide or blatant bigotry is laughable considering you guys are digging up mass graves of first nation kids at residential “schools” that were still being operated in the 70s

      (also, for the record, the last residential school closed in 1997, not the 70s. Off topic, but I am not at all a fan of Canada.)

      I didn’t say that Canada is immune to bigotry or genocide. I even made reference to the genocide that Canada committed, and I would talk at length about it, if it werent off topic.

      But Canada is a moderate enough country that – again – I doubt a song with such dehumanizing lyrics against a group of people would ever be a hit in modern Canada. Nothing about my statement claims there is no bigotry or genocide in Canada. It is more of a statement of just how much bigotry and acceptance of genocide there must be in Israel for a song like “Charbu Darbu” to be a #1 hit.
