Could it be the destruction of a successful federal housing program? A privatized housing market serving developers profits and not human need? The endless robbery by parasitic banks, landlords, and realtors? No, it is your useless city council that rolls over for developers.

A data centre in Etobicoke was approved to consume 1.2B litres/year.

This article details what Jewish settlers in the West Bank did to a Palestinian family in Khirbet Hums. 1) they tied up the family and human rights activists (American and Portuguese) 2) they dragged the father in front of the family, pulled his pants down, and raped him in front of his family and the activists. then they doused him in water and beat him mercilessly. 3) they tore off women's headscarves, ripped their clothes, including young girls, and dragged them outside to be beaten again there. 4) one of the jew colonizers grabbed a 14 year old girl and slapped her over and over, while everyone was tied up, unable to help her. He threatened to take the girl to with him. 5) the jews then beat the 74 year old grandfather all over his body, and they threatened the family they would return, burn their home, rape everyone, and kill the children.

This is what the overwhelming of majority of American Jews support. It is what nearly all jewish Israelis support. Normalize calling these parasites what they are. timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…
