Laudable Support of Ukraine Fending off Russia -- Israel Can Look After Itself

"Canada fully supports Ukraine using long-range weaponry to prevent and interdict Russia's continued ability to degrade Ukrainian civilians [and] infrastructure, and mostly to kill innocent civilians in their unjust war."

"[Canada] fully supports Ukraine using long-range weaponry] in prevention of Russian strikes on hospitals and daycares across the country]."

"[Putin] is trying to deeply destabilize the international rules-based order that protects us all, not just in every democracy around the world, but in all countries around the world."

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

"[Putin said that allowing long-range strikes] would mean that NATO countries, the United States and European countries are at war with Russia."

"Ukraine has the right to self-defence, and we've obviously been absolutely fully supportive of Ukraine's right to self-defence."

The stance of these two countries, both led by Liberal-left, politically 'correct', DEI-infused heads, is very similar in content and their context. Both countries have experienced an exponential rise in the presence of new citizens joining those already present, from Muslim-majority countries, with a  significant presence of Arabs and Palestinians among them.  Numbers count. As for example, the almost one-and-a-half million Ukrainian Canadians who represent a large voting bloc. Ukraine's valiant battle to secure its sovereignty and fight off Russia's territorial ambitions is laudatory.

 

Apart from the fact that in both countries Muslims have achieved a notable presence in government; Britain's capital city has its very own Muslim mayor who is on record as promoting the presence of even greater numbers of Muslims living in Britain as he sets about making London, once one of the most civilized and cosmopolitan cities in the world, 'a better place to live'. On its way to becoming a better place to live, London Police have been extraordinarily busy taming the wildly violent pro-Hamas street celebrations.

 

Britain's new Labour government, developed as a kinder, more citizen-representative party than of old, has stated through its new Foreign Secretary David Lammy, that the UK would be suspending 30 of 350 arms export licences to Israel during its conflict with Hamas. The equipment affected would be 'non-essentials' such as parts for fighter jets, helicopters and drones. Presumably to give Palestinian terrorist groups a better fighting opportunity to achieve their aspirational goal of exterminating the Jewish state; a goal that would mightily please Britain's growing Muslim population.

 

Additionally of help to the war effort, Britain has decided to drop its opposition to the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while calling for an immediate ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas, the release of all hostages and an increase in the amount of aid to civilians in Gaza whom Hamas has deliberately, as is its wont, negotiated into a position of vulnerability by positioning its rocket launchers, command posts and weapons depots within or beside crowded civilian enclaves, hospitals, schools and apartment blocks.

"[Britain’s] shameful decision will not change Israel's determination to defeat Hamas, a genocidal terrorist organization that savagely murdered 1200 people on October 7, including 14 British citizens."

"Instead of standing with Israel, a fellow democracy defending itself against barbarism, Britain’s misguided decision will only embolden Hamas."

Response from PM Benjamin Netanyahu's office

Coincidentally, Canada's own minister of foreign affairs in a government that is fast sinking in public opinion, and certain to be ousted sooner rather than later, has made it clear that her Liberal government will brook no arms exports to Israel in its battle against the sadistic savagery of Palestinian terrorism. Canada has had ample share of pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, anti-Israel demonstrations marching through the streets of its cities. That Muslims now represent 5% of the Canadian population with almost two million of the faithful, make them a powerful voting bloc the Liberal government not only promotes in Parliament but courts at the ballot box.

"Our policy has been clear. Since Jan. 8, we have not accepted any form of arms export permits to be sent to Israel."

"We are asking questions to these [Canadian companies with existing permits] companies. Following that, I asked my department to look into any existing permits of arms or parts of arms that could have been sent to Israel."

"Following that, I suspended this summer around 30 existing permits of Canadian companies and we are asking questions to these companies."

Minister of Foreign Affairs Melanie Joly
