Citizenship and the Gaza conflict

The destruction and carnage resulting from the Gaza conflict is senseless. Unfortunately I think that the thousands that have lost their lives (belonging to either side) have done so in vain as there probably is a long road ahead for those left behind to reach exhaustion and thus a cessation of hostilities.

Unfortunately, I think the same can be said for those posting comments on this story at the CBC on the evacuation of dual citizens.

Why is it the gov't fault if "Candian citizens" choose to live in an unstable area of the world. What's inexcusable is taxpayers money going to pay for their return to Canada while we have homelessness and unemployment in Canada. These people knew full well they were in a bad area of the world. If they want to be Canadians, then live in Canada-don't insult the rest of us Canadians by taking out citizenship and then living in Gaza full time.
Then when people like me disagree with them, we are called racists.
I'm sure my father did not fight in WWII just to have immigrants abuse Canadian generousity. Then the Palestinians that live here have the nerve to demonstrate on mass in Canadian streets. Would Palestine pay for it's citizens to fly home if the tables were reversed. I doubt it very much!
We will see if the CBC, who is pro Hamas will print this post.

Where does all this emnity towards Canadian immigrants come from? It's not like they give this shit out to just anyone. Take a look at the requirements to get a passport that says Canada on the cover. Take a pill kitchener01. A couple million dollars to evacuate highly skilled Canadians out of a war zone is money well spent. They can probably write better than you too.
