In case anyone needed a reminder of the atrocities that came from those operating out of Gaza, this is from the BBC two days ago:
Israeli community frozen as Hamas atrocities continue to emerge Published 2 days ago By Lucy Williamson in Nir Oz, Israel BBC News They are still finding bodies in the neighbourhoods near Gaza. Warning: Some readers may find details in this article distressing. Recovery teams on Wednesday pulled a woman's body from the rubble in Kibbutz Be'eri. She was naked, her feet bound with metal wire. One of the team said the bodies of more than 20 children had been found nearby, tied together and burned. Even experienced workers are struggling: deaths like this are enough to break the living.... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67165128 |

How disgusting, we've imported our very own brownshirts to target and harass Jewish-owned businesses in Toronto:

Hours earlier Trudeau said: “Civilian life must always be protected and international and humanitarian law must always be respected. We are working closely with allies to determine exactly what happened,”I think she was echoing the government position, basically we don't have all the details yet to point fingers. |

That was the tweet in its entirety. Seems pretty clear the accusation is that the hospital was bombed, which was unconfirmed at the time, and subsequently all but proven false. |

I thought she was referring to an incoming object that made a "kaboom" sound, and killed many people. Does that not qualify as a "bombing"? She had been very clear that Canada's position is Israel has a right to defend itself with due consideration for international law. Interpreting the Canadian position as somehow anti-Israel is a stretch. |
Channel 4 (UK) shows the horrors of War, even going into one of the unimaginably terrorized kibbutzes. They are doing some of the best reporting on this War.

It’s absolutely pathetic that it has taken Canada this long to recognize that this hospital incident was Hamas. The initial reaction from the government was very much one of blame. Trudeau outright said the attack was illegal and a war crime. I don’t recall him saying “we ummm will errrr umm wait ummm until we ummm have more ummm information” before making those comments. To me it seems more like pandering to a particular demographic. If they are seen as too critical of Palestine then it will backfire on them at election time with the Muslim voters. Could also be they are worried it could escalate protests and fuel more antisemitism if they condemn those Palestinians, somehow I don’t think the liberals care too much about the Jews.

Israel is committing war crimes, that is clear. I think Canada is trying to be even-handed and diplomatic. |

Protests don't always indicate broader political support but the general rule is you have a lot of other people who agree who don't want to go protest. Trudeau despite what I would say was a pretty balanced (which in the North American context means pro Palestinian) approach was shouted down at a mosque. I understand there are a lot of voices in caucus demanding Canada support the Palestinians. Presumably they are hearing from constituents. As I said before we do have 5X more Muslims than Jews in this country. The white male establishment that gets more of their news from the US is shocked at the Trudeau response to this but this is not the Canada of 2001. |

And these days you always have to wonder what powers are fuelling dissent behind the scenes through misinformation. |
I'm not surprised at all by the Trudeau response because this is the official line of the western world order and he is a part of it, though it appears to be less and less sustainable.
