Canada, France, Britain -- Incentivizing Terrorism

Prime Minister of Canada

"We strongly oppose the expansion of Israel’s military operations in Gaza. The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable. Yesterday’s announcement that Israel will allow a basic quantity of food into Gaza is wholly inadequate. We call on the Israeli Government to stop its military operations in Gaza and immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. This must include engaging with the UN to ensure a return to delivery of aid in line with humanitarian principles. We call on Hamas to release immediately the remaining hostages they have so cruelly held since 7 October 2023."

"The Israeli Government’s denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable and risks breaching International Humanitarian Law. We condemn the abhorrent language used recently by members of the Israeli Government, threatening that, in their despair at the destruction of Gaza, civilians will start to relocate. Permanent forced displacement is a breach of international humanitarian law."

"Israel suffered a heinous attack on October 7. We have always supported Israel’s right to defend Israelis against terrorism. But this escalation is wholly disproportionate."

"We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response."

"We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank. Israel must halt settlements which are illegal and undermine the viability of a Palestinian state and the security of both Israelis and Palestinians.  We will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions."

Now it is abundantly clear and out in the open: Canada's 'new' government is merely a retread of the 'old' Liberal government, but bolder and more to the point. Yes, expressions of sympathy for Israel's plight in being the target of a death-cult terror group whose constant attacks are merely an expression of their intention to annihilate Jews while destroying their state. And the October 7 attack in southern Israel on mostly Israeli civilians was certainly unfortunate so it is understandable that Israel would respond. But the offensive that transpired is beyond what Canada, France and Britain will accept. Israel, they thunder, is killing Palestinian civilians; the Hamas Health Authority says so, in huge numbers. 

Therefore, Israel's intention to counter Hamas's charter pledge of its destruction is simply unacceptable, and if continued, there will be consequences, promises the trio of nations whose populations are now swelled with the presence of sullen, antagonistic and often violently threatening Islamists, citizens with voting rights whose numbers have become impressively entitled to produce volatile and violent exhibitions of Islamist disaffection with Western democracies and the presence within them of Jewish populations long prior established as loyal citizens, now left in casual disregard by the nations for whom Jewish defence/offence is quite simply offensive.

The streets and highways of Canada, Britain and France are regularly suffused by overwhelming numbers of Hamas-supporting demonstrators stopping traffic, rallying before federal buildings, praying en masse, protesting in front of synagogues and Jewish neighbourhoods shouting prescriptions for a new range of Final Solutions to an age-old problem of a Jewish presence anywhere in the world, as Intifadas to be universalized, and campaigns to be finalized 'From the river to the sea', urging Jews to return to 'Poland' where the unfinished work of the Holocaust can be resumed.

 

The statement of condemnation released today by Canada, jointly with France and England is a start, one that the Hamas authority -- whatever is left of it after Israel's dedicated military campaign to eradicate them all -- busily persuading Palestinians not yet completely in their orbit to join them in replacing those that have been lost, to rebuild their military might for ongoing attacks that the group and others among them relentlessly pursue in their dedicated mission of death-dealing. Perhaps Hamas could persuade the three to begin providing it with weaponry with which to defend itself from Israeli malevolent reprisals?

 

There is no indication that the three leaders have taken into account the fact that were the Israeli  hostages to be released, the siege of Gaza would be over. Nor do they recognize publicly that Hamas operatives have taken possession of huge volumes of humanitarian relief supplies meant to be apportioned out to Palestinian civilians, not the terrorists who have warehoused it all for their own use. And no acknowledgement of the fact that Hamas and its partners Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Yemeni Houthis continue sending rockets into Israel. Let alone that West Bank Palestinians under the Palestinian Authority that incites them to violence, continue to attack Israelis.

 

For the Palestinians, however, the good news story is the West, not only its politicians, but its academic faculties, its unions, and many individuals within the populations of all three nations who revel in antisemitic expressions, take great pride in standing alongside Palestinians in their organized rallies to pressure governments at every level in these countries who refuse to take any security and law-enforcing steps to protect their Jewish populations and defuse the constant social-disturbing eruptions of anti-Israel rallies, preferring to protect instead the rally organizers and their followers.

 

Little wonder that Hamas was moved to acknowledge its satisfaction and appreciation toward the leadership of Canada, France and Britain, taking time out of its busy schedule of rearming, reorganizing, recruiting, to congratulate the leaders of the three Western countries for standing in solidarity with Palestinian 'liberation'. 

 

"By asking Israel to end a defensive war for our survival before Hamas terrorists on our border are destroyed and by demanding a Palestinian state, the leaders in London, Ottawa and Paris are offering a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7 while inviting more such atrocities." 

"The war can end tomorrow if the remaining hostages are released, Hamas lays down its arms, its murderous leaders are exiled and Gaza is demilitarized. No nation can be expected to accept anything less and Israel certainly won't."  

"This is a war of civilization over barbarism. Israel will continue to defend itself by just means until total victory is achieved."
