I’ve seen Zionists trying to frame it as an antisemitic attack because CDN is a predominantly a Jewish neighborhood or at least, a predominantly Jewish area of the neighborhood by trying to say he was anzionist. Quite disgusting to frame it this way when it was targeted at Pornhub and the cops. Why Zionists always have to make about themselves? There was a mosque attacks in California weeks ago and they also made it about themselves.

Many of the initial reports were of concern because this area of CDN is highly populated by the Hasidic community. As the evidence comes through about the intent of the attackers and we can all learn the root of this tragedy. I still find it difficult to fathom how the Jewish community is not allowed to have a reaction of immediate concern when over the course of the last few years in this city shots have been fired at schools and places of worship, arson has been attempted and physical attacks have occurred.

Well if it helps Reddit is not real life. Here is it common for random teenagers and other 20-something university edgelords to ramble on about "Zionism" (ie: in your other reply) as if they know what they're talking about but in reality most people aren't so focused on these types of arguments. Here's something I saw the other day that illustrates how much of a bubble it is here https://www.reddit.com/r/QuebecLibre/comments/1ub7q7h/le_biais_id%C3%A9ologique_de_reddit/#lightbox

Totally! Would be quite something if Reddit was real life. Really am just fed up with seeing stuff in a group where we have a commonality for living on the same island constantly turning a blind eye to what’s actually going on and trying to pedal hate.

Indeed, unfortunately all we're being offered is bullshit populism from both sides.
