Violent conflict with 150 people erupts in Calgary Saturday afternoon [Eritreans vs. Eritreans]
National Post [Canada] ^ | Sept. 3, 2023 | Monica Zurowski

Police were called to the scene around 5 p.m. Saturday and told two groups of people were engaged in violent activity. When they arrived, they separated the groups and worked to de-escalate the situation, noting “many of those involved were brandishing weapons.” A video of the scene posted online showed men with bats and sticks....

The confrontation may be related to similar Eritrean conflicts that have been occurring in cities around the world, including a recent riot in Edmonton in mid-August.

The Edmonton Journal/Edmonton Sun reported that incident was a chaotic scene with few if any parallels in Edmonton’s history: hundreds of men clashing on a field — some in blue, others in orange — carrying sticks and poles flying brightly coloured flags. The conflict pitted members of the city’s Eritrean community against one another and led officers to take the rare step of proclaiming the Riot Act....

Bloody protests Saturday by rival groups of Eritreans in south Tel Aviv left dozens of people injured. Eritreans, supporters and opponents of Eritrea’s government, faced off with construction lumber, pieces of metal and rocks, smashing shop windows and police cars. Israeli police in riot gear shot tear gas, stun grenades and live rounds while officers on horseback tried to control the protesters.

Elsewhere on Saturday, Norway’s second-largest city, Bergen, witnessed clashes between supporters and opponents of the Eritrean government during a rally commemorating the country’s independence day. Norwegian authorities said government opponents threw bottles and stones at rally participants....

In early August, Swedish media reported that about 1,000 protesters stormed an Eritrean festival in Stockholm, the capital, setting booths and cars on fire and using rocks and sticks as weapons, leaving at least 52 people injured and more than 100 people detained.

It’s the hypocrisy of it, you effin HACK.
Mass migration into white countries are okay, but not okay for Israel.

Unfortunately she has been criticized, although in fact Israel‘s government seems to be the only one in the West to protect its people from this invasion from Africa. Three cheers for them!

Anyway, the principle of so- called non-refoulement (q.v.) enshrined in UN principles, seems to have long overstayed its welcome, now that WW 2 and the Cold War are over. Or so I would say…

Down with the Trudeau administration!
Freedom for Canada!
Stop this policy which is to Canada‘s detriment!

Long live international anti-totalitarianism! Freedom from neo-Communism aka wokeism for every nation!

Just wait until Monday for the Calgary-Edmonton Canadian Football League game.

Same with Flames and Oilers.

I see Edmonton finally won a home game last week. Ever since they changed from the Eskimos to the Elks, they’ve sucked royally.

Yes. They broke the record for ANY MAJOR SPORTS TEAM in consecutive home losses.

I’m sure there were a lot of burnt cars and looted businesses after that win.

Oh, wait….

1. Actually, very few people, who support open borders are hypocrites. Many are Jewish or have Jewish ancestors, but have no love of Israel. Some are anti-Israel activists. Do the research yourself before posting a refutation.
2. 30% of Israel is non-Jewish. The Jewish population is quite diverse. Israel is an incredibly diverse country. The societal stresses of this is a major factor in the months of protests, putatively over Judicial Reform.
3. Grievance blinds people

I am specifically talking about the fact that Jewish proxy groups are promoting mass migration into Europe, the U.S., Canada, and Australia, but don't want it for Israel. Total hypocrisy.

I don't care about the other garbage you posted.

List the group with any evidence that is their position.
