Just my opinion, but generational trauma is real, whether it’s residential school survivors or those who suffered during WW2 & the concentration camps, or a 17yr old Polish boy given a rifle to fight the fascists in Italy, so far from home.
You’re correct- my parents are Dutch (89 &91 yrs old). My husband’s parents were Polish, MIL placed in a concentration camp & FIL a 17yr old soldier. Staples ignores those truths or twists the narrative for convenience.
I’m stuck on where he’ll go that’s safer than Canada. According to the Jewish News Syndicate the safest country for Jews outside of Israel (which is not known for its safety) is… Hungary. Viktor Orban’s Hungary.
Not only are his stats completely wrong, he cites a Jewish newsletter as his source. They said 70% of all religious crimes were against Jews. Only 29% 0f hate crimes were as a result of religion. One hate crime is bad, but come on Staples

Yet you will never hear David Staples write in this validating way about First Nations or Black or Palestinian intergenerational trauma.
It’s worth asking why.
fucking incredible
