^ this sums it up better than thousands of posts.

DN's remarks are not naive or thoughtless or vomited onto our minds. Your statement is radical as opposed to the Ghandi quote, which encourages calm and reflection.

Eye for an eye suggests identical repercussions for violence. This is so far from the reality in the region unfortunately. The only people who will ever be blind are the Palestinians.

Obviously they are super incompetent. There is no maybe about it.

Why destroy Gaza, killing innocent citizens, creating humanitarian crisis including the displacement of 300k people, when the "enemy" can't really get to you? If you have such command of the situation, as Israel does, why not try to create the situation you want?

Oh, wait. That is exactly what they are doing.

okay I was looking for some conclusion about the justifiability of the current actions.

If DN's conclusion above meant anything much in the current context then it must mean the killing of innocents is unacceptable as either way one side will still want to fight and hence there will be no peace.

The problem is DN's conclusion doesn't mean anything much as there are many sides, the sides are not fixed and peace is not binary. That's even assuming one side has no interest in peace.

False. Just because some rogue cops happened to beat up someone the day before you make your statement doesn't mean you agree with their actions.

You believe that in his analogy the person exclaiming "I 100% support police officers in their fight against crime" was supposed to be coincidental and not in reference to the beating???

Do you believe that DN believes that innocent children should be killed when he says he is 100% in support of Israel's right to defend themselves?

Hey Daniel

In support of another "Canadian with an Attitude" who the F cares if people hate on you for your opinion. You have the right to one as much as anyone else and last time I checked it was still a free country.

Your a celebrity my friend and as such you need to grow thicker skin and realize that these ppl are always going to hate you no matter what you do.

As far as Israel / Palestine situation don't listen to any of these morons their opinions are exactly the same as yours = meaningless banter. Unless you live there nothing we say matters and even then you would have to live on both sides of the border before your opinions would carry any true value.

Keep on rockin Daniel your a good guy and youve done alot to promote this game bro and for that I respect you.

Well, the essence of him saying this is to let go the need for revenge. There has been SO much atrocity there that people.....enlightened people, need to be the 'bigger man' and really just forget all this nonsense and carry on (elsewhere?) if they are to live any sort of real life. The first thing Mandela did when he got out of jail after TWENTY SEVEN YEARS was to forgive his captors. If not, he said he was still 'jailed' if his mind wasn't free of hate toward them or constant thought of them. MLK also talked a lot about this sort of thing. See a pattern here? NOTHING good came of violence and killing- especially in retaliation, which, again, is what Gandhi was talking about in the first place.

But I digress- as 'littletrix' correctly pointed out, the point here is not to debate this but to assert that DN indeed made a grave error (pun intended).

I'm sure he's flattered???


I'm sure he IS a nice guy, but as a public figure and in terrible hubris he way overstepped his bounds and deserves the backlash he's getting. I'm sure he will learn from this.

Ya I'm sure he really cares what a bunch of wanna be bracelet winners really think of him?

Come on Dude he's probably laughing at us right now from his Vegas estate with 3 strippers and a bottle of champagne in his hand.

Dear Mr. Negreanu:

Since many people are influenced by your opinion, you have a special responsibility to inform yourself broadly.

I respectfully recommend you read a memoir, The General's Son. It is about a man whose niece was killed in a suicide bombing. This drives him not to rage but to better understand the situation. He begins meeting people on the other side for the first time in his life and rediscovers the bravery of his father, a hawkish general in the 1967 war, who decided that the occupation would deform Israel.

Maybe he should read the book of son of hamas.

About son of hamas founder who went from being a terrorist to helping Israel.

The guy who says Hamas is as bad as bad as the occupation? Why not.

Lol, all I read in this post is "he doesn't care, his life is so pathetic criticism of his support of child killers is barely even in the top ten things he cares about".

This article goes into detail about the conflict and gives 7 things to consider before choosing sides as DN has done:

Hopefully he can read this and it might make him re-think his polariZed views : /

Ummmmm its a War dude children are going to get killed and our military has sadly killed thousands of them as well. Your freedom wouldn't be here if they didn't. Israel and Palestine have the right to their freedoms as much as we do and if they are at WAR then children will sadly die. No one wants war but obviously these two countries have mutually decided its necessary.





Daniel has the right to his opinions and all those children sadly died so that he could live in a free country and have that freedom.

My personal feelings are that all war is ridiculous and barbaric in todays world but it is a sad reality of the human condition and it's not going away anytime soon and that's the same thing I think Daniel was saying.

this is spot on.

did people see where Hamas executed 18 of their own because they accused them of helping Israel? No trial or anything. How barbaric is that?

Also, who are the ones breaking the cease fires? Hamas is breaking the cease fires, not Israel. How can you say that Hamas wants peace?

On a scale of 1-10 how offensive is it to hold the view that the muslims in Israel should consider moving and setting up somewhere in the dozens of muslim countries spread throughout the region?

Wow, influenced by DN's opinion? On poker maybe. On world affairs, you must be kidding.

I would, if it were possible of course. I doesn't seem like they have the same options though. Also I keep hearing how the muslims are instigators and the jews are the reasonable ones who just want to be safe and secure. Reason with the reasonable.

A very noteworthy thing to remember is that during the early parts of Nazi Germany Germany suggested the Jews migrate elsewhere and then European nations and USA refused, because they didn't want them. Also worth noting that during/after the holocaust many predominantly Muslim areas and nations were a popular source of refuge.


The reasons behind this conflict have so much more to do with war culture(on BOTH sides) and repression(and what inevitably results from it) than the ardent Israeli supporters want to believe. It's also ridiculously messed up how much the US gains from all of this, and by the US I mean their military and special interest groups related to their military industrial complex.

Of course these views end up being accused of being Pro Hamas, pro TERRORISM, and Anti-Semitic, but whatever.
