Why can’t Canada just once stand up for human rights in Palestine? I don’t want my country’s name remembered for supporting this Genocide.

>The letter, which France said was signed by Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas, includes condemnation of the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, a call on Hamas to immediately release all hostages, and pledges to hold elections and reform the authority, according to excerpts shared with CNN.
>“Hamas will no longer rule Gaza and must hand over its weapons and military capabilities to the Palestinian Security Forces, which will oversee their removal outside the occupied Palestinian territory, with Arab and international support,” the Élysée Palace cited Abbas as writing.
These are very bold commitments. I don’t see a reason why we should not recognize a Palestinian state if these commitments are actually accomplished.
>France said Abbas pledged to organize presidential and general elections within a year in order to “rejuvenate the Palestinian governance.
This makes it extra complicated. Hamas would win those elections easily. Abbas is quite unpopular.

I don’t see an issue with waiting until it’s geopolitically a good timing for Canada. If it means anything I don’t think we’d be against Palestinian statehood and our politicians have done a decent job placating both sides without promising much of anything.
