Kanada stellt sich in Sachen Israel häufiger auf die Seite seiner europäischen Verbündeten

>Ottawa has been particularly critical of Israel recently

Nonsense. They attacked Iran and Carney’s response was to declare that Israel has a right to defend itself. Saying „erm, please don’t invade Lebanon“ and doing literally nothing about it is a wholly meaningless statement.

>Mr. Carney joined European leaders in criticizing Israeli police for preventing the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from celebrating Palm Sunday at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

Has he condemned our police and our troops for explicitly going to Israeli seminars to learn from those same police? Or, you know, stopped them from doing that?

>While Mr. Carney’s rhetoric is not all that different from that of his predecessor’s on this issue

His rhetoric is, indeed, exactly the same as Justin „I am a Zionist“ Trudeau.

>Alan Kessel, a former assistant deputy minister for legal affairs and legal adviser at Global Affairs Canada, said Canada “needs to decide whether it’s going to be a commentator or a participant.” … “There are others fighting our battles, whether they be the Americans, whether they be the Ukrainians or whether they be the Israelis. That is something we have to really take a long, hard look at.”

…presenting the Americans and Israelis as fighting *our* battles really says all that needs to be said, doesn’t it?
