Minister Lecce’s inflaming of a community in pain, as thousands of Palestinians in Ontario have been impacted by the loss of their loved ones in Gaza and beyond, is wrong and inconsistent with the promises that @Fordnation has made to diverse communities over the years. Politicizing history by attempting to pull a date that has been recognized by PDSB shows a lack of judgement and appropriate consultation with affected stakeholders. We are deeply disappointed by the position of Minister Lecce on this issue. Ministerial discretion does not allow for inconvenient facts of history to be scrubbed away. Premier Ford and Minister Lecce, during your next visit to Peel region, we are happy to introduce you to families who still have the keys to their houses after being forced to leave their homelands in the Nakba. In the interim, we will support PDSB in continuing to recognize this important historical event.
@nccm @fordnation Lecce is a Zionist genocidal criminal. We know that from the onset. The corrupt Doug Ford is even worse. He has never condemned any of his cronies for their statements be it Lecce, Goldy Gamari, Lisa MacLeod, etc.
@nccm @fordnation Would a more descriptive naming of "the catastrophe" help the Minister? 🧐 "Arab Muslims Couldn't Exterminate The Jews Remembrance Day" "Eternal Sore Losers Remembrance Day" "Muslim-on-Muslim Betrayal Remembrance Day" "No War Booty For Genocidal Muslims Remembrance Day"
@nccm @fordnation Denying, trying to erase, pretend it never exists don't make Nakba 1948 & Nakba 2024 go away even if ZScumbags find it convenient at this moment to do so. History will catch up sooner or later. Example: Residential schools in 🇨🇦 History.
@nccm @fordnation It's unequal and unjust to teach about the Holocaust and Indigenous history while denying recognition of Nakba Day for Palestinians. Education should strive for equity, acknowledging all historical narratives and fostering understanding among diverse communities. 2/2
@nccm @fordnation Keep offshore hatred & violence offshore. Good job Lecce!
@nccm @fordnation We need to move beyond the past with the sadness and loss. Back in the 90's I watched the chairman of the PLO being presented with 3 offers and turn them down. 'Surely here in the new world we can help move to justice. Neither side can win and both need to compromise.
