Canada: Trudeau calls for independent investigation into Israel’s “excessive force” against civilians

May 18, 2018 9:47 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

After the shooting of Dr. Tarek Loubani, a Canadian-Palestinian doctor, by an Israeli sniper, Trudeau is calling for  an “independent investigation into Israel’s ‘excessive force’ against civilians.” Trudeau railed against Israel, a country that is permanently trying to defend itself from attack and concerted efforts to obliterate it:

Canada calls for an immediate independent investigation to thoroughly examine the facts on the ground – including any incitement, violence, and the excessive use of force.

The mysterious Dr. Loubani is not new to this kind of publicity. Back in 2013, he was jailed along with his filmmaker companion in Egypt while witnessing “a protest at Cairo’s Ramses Square.” He insisted that he never took part in Muslim Brotherhood protests because “he abhors violence.” In prison, he recounted, “they beat the sh** out of us.” Dr. Loubani has now found himself in the middle of another struggle: that of Israel defending itself. The Israel Defenses Forces released a warning statement that “the rioters are hurling firebombs and explosive devices towards the security fence and IDF forces, and are burning tires, throwing rocks and launching flaming objects in order to ignite fires in Israeli territory and harm IDF troops” and that “anyone who approached the fence would be considered a terrorist.”

Israel’s Deputy Defense Minister also “slammed Hamas leaders for sitting in their offices while they send children to act as human shields.” This is a historic tactic of Hamas in its jihad and propaganda war against Israel. The Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, has now called on the UN Security Council to condemn Hamas “for its use of children as human shields during mass protests along the Gaza border fence.” Although Hamas has a history of using its people as human shields, the Trudeau government has made no reference to this.

Earlier this week, on a delegation to Ottawa, Palestinian “dignitaries” thanked the Trudeau government for rejecting the US embassy move to Jerusalem.

“Trudeau calls for independent investigation into Israel’s ‘excessive force’ against civilians”, by Robert Fife, Globe and Mail, May 16, 2018:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has deplored the shooting of a Canadian-Palestinian doctor by an Israeli sniper and called for an independent investigation into Israel’s use of live ammunition against civilians.

Mr. Trudeau issued a statement on Wednesday decrying as “inexcusable” the use of “excessive force.”

“We are appalled that Dr. Tarek Loubani, a Canadian citizen, is among the wounded – along with so many unarmed people, including civilians, members of the media, first responders, and children,” Mr. Trudeau said in the strongest criticism his government has ever levelled against Israel. “Canada calls for an immediate independent investigation to thoroughly examine the facts on the ground – including any incitement, violence, and the excessive use of force.”

Dr. Loubani was shot in both legs by an Israeli sniper on the Gaza border Monday as clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli Defence Forces left at least 60 dead. More than 2,700 Palestinians suffered injuries, including 1,359 from live ammunition.

Israel had deployed two brigades and at least 100 snipers along the Gaza frontier as tens of thousands of Palestinians protested against the inauguration of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.

British Prime Minister Theresa May and United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres have also called for an independent inquiry, expressing concern about the volume of live fire used by Israeli forces. The United States blocked the adoption of a UN Security Council statement on Tuesday that would have called for an independent probe. The United States blames the deaths on Hamas, the Islamist group that controls Gaza and which encouraged the protests.

The Israeli embassy in Ottawa said Mr. Trudeau’s statement was referred to the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “We have asked Jerusalem for instructions, as this is a prime ministerial issue,” spokesman Itay Tavor said….

    Yep. The Palestinians are being depicted by the establishment media as “peaceful protestors” and “victims of Israeli oppression”. Exactly what Hamas planned by putting their children in danger.

    Does the Left know NOTHING about the history of Islam and everything that gets in the way of its core doctrines? Do they know NOTHING about how “Palestine” was concocted?

    They refuse to be educated because they’re obsessed with taking down the West….Trump in particular. I’ve never seen anything like it. Beyond comprehension.

    Justin, who I call Tinkerbelle, has an election just around the corner and there are now lots of potential Moslem voters, especially in Toronto. This is posturing for electoral support pure and simple.

      Justin Trudeau is merely following the Leftard blueprint his father gave him. Pierre Trudeau as Prime Minister caused enormous damage to Canada’s economy, political climate, and international reputation.

      As the icing on the cake, the bromance with Barack several years ago helped cement Justin’s obsession with promoting Islam and bashing Israel.

      It must be very hard for intelligent adults to deal with him. We can`t wait to get someone with a few brains running our country instead of a femy personkind like him, or should I say, IT.

    What was Dr. Tarek Loubani doing at the fence that separates Israel from Hamas terrorists? Justin Trudeau, attempting to enmesh the Canadian people in the debacle of Palestinian terrorism is entering an arena for which he is woefully ill equipped. Apart from Trudeau’s incompetence, a quick examination of this recent declaration of his, coupled with past support for Hamas, certainly looks like he has chosen to join his terrorist compadres against our ally, Israel – a country that is forced to defend itself against Palestinian terrorists who wish every single Israeli dead. What part of this disaster is it that Justin Trudeau fails to understand?

    • Linda says

      May 18, 2018 at 12:12 pm

      It’s the part that he’s supposed to be acting in Canadians’ best interest that he doesn’t get. No one told him Canada is a democracy, not a dictatorship yet. Apparently he needs to be told.

  8. Tom says

    May 18, 2018 at 12:07 pm

    Trudeau is a fool and does not represent the majority of Canadians. He most certainly does not represent me or my view on what “protests” are occurring along the Israeli border.

    From what I have read and researched it is clear that Hamas was going to use the opportunity of the relocation of the US embassy to use their militia disguized as civilians, and mixed within the civilian crowds as instigators to rioting and violent attacks on the troops stationed on the border.

    The use of Hamas militia in such a role ensures that the crowds are constantly hyped in their hatred of the jews and especially the Israeli military facing them.

    I have been trained in riot control and one of the primary lessons learned is that a small core, about 7%, of the crowd are the instigators and keep the riot mentality alive in any riotous crowd. Identification, isolation and removal of the core element will dissipate a riot very quickly. The objective then is to allow controlled routes for the dissipation of the crowd.

    I believe what we are seeing in the Hamas fuelled rioting is the clever use of militia with numerous human shields surrounding them, knowing that the Israeli troops will not approach to take the core instigators out of the crowd. These instigators are keeping the crowds hyped to a frenzy pitch and can only be taken down by snipers.

    The use of human shields is a well known Hamas strategy which also results in the media sympathy ehen those shields are injured or killed. The MSM is very much aware of the strategy, yet still plays Hamas and those taking part in the riots as victims, when they are very much willing participants.

    Trudeau is a brain dead puppet who will say and do anything to discredit Israel and get himself a position later in the UN.

    • Linda says

      May 18, 2018 at 12:20 pm

      I wish he’d take off for the UN position right now. He’s always vacationing outside of Canada anyway. When he gets his position at the UN, Canada and the U.S. should pull out of the UN immediately and be done with Trudeau and the UN.

  9. overman says

    May 18, 2018 at 12:22 pm

    lt’s like he’s practicing Taqiyya on behalf of lslam – a Taqiyya puppet in other words.
    There’s more than one kind of Taqiyya of course – like the many forms of Jihad.

    The Hadith makes it clear that Muslims are allowed to lie to unbelievers in order to defeat them or protect themselves. There are several forms:

    #1. Taqiyya= Saying something that isn’t true as it relates to the Muslim identity.

    #2. Kitman= Lying by omission. An example would be when Muslim apologist quote only a fragment of a verse, ( Qur’an 5:32)(that if anyone kills ” it shall be as if he had killed all of mankind”) while neglecting to mention that the rest of the verse (and the next) Mandates murder in undefined cases of ” corruption ” and “mischief.”

    #3. Tawria= Intentionally creating a false impression.

    #4. Muruna= ” Blending in “by setting aside some practices of Islam or Sharia in order to advance others.

    • Tom says

      May 18, 2018 at 12:54 pm

      Unfortunately the nightmare of idiots like Trudeau, with their left wing mentality, being elected around the world since the turn of the century, and trying to destroy what national pride we had left, is all very real.

      Add in the Muslim Brotherhood influence that the left has allowed to gain power within their political parties and governments, and the Soros one world order, no borders strategy, and we are in a world of hurt.

      The light that shines in this dark scenario is the growing discontent of the ordinary peoples throughout the west and the rise of patriotic groups that are willing to stand against the deluge of insults and threats from the left, Islamists, and politicians controlled by them.

      The youngest generation is becoming more conservative and as a result we are seeing organizations grow and become more prominent that are opposed to open borders and mass immigration.

      The nightmare has almost reached its peak and will soon start to diminish as we, the people of the west, awaken, become educated, and take back our countries, our cultures and our way of life, from the dark forces that have tried to destroy us.

      To paraphrase and take some licence with Churchill’s famous speech, We shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them in the streets, and in the fields, in the parliaments, and within our own governments, we shall never surrender.”

    Yep he is that stupid. We tried to warn our fellow Canadians about Trudeau but all they saw was a pretty boy who promised to legalize marijuana and spend, spend, spend. In fact one of his most idiotic statements when questioned about his out of control proposed deficit spending was “The budgets will balance themselves”.

  13. Older Canadian says

    May 18, 2018 at 1:12 pm

    Trudeau really is a chip’off-the-old-block. Like father like son. He may not be as bright as his father, but he is quite diligent in following his playbook.

    Independent study, another exercise in futility that I as a taxpayer have to pay for.

    Perhaps our great world-renowned leader should just read/view the latest propaganda press releases and videos from Abbas and Hamas before he opens his mouth again, that already has his feet in it.

    It feels like every day trudeau either makes a statement or does somerhing incredibly controversial or just plain shocking.

    Have to admit though, I really enjoyed his response to kenny yesterday, it was quite unique.

    It’s all Biblical prophesy. Trump is bringing in the end times. Who knows, he could be the Antichrist who will begin his reign from Jerusalem. He has deceived man evangelicals. I am convinced that Trump is a demon sent by Satan to destroy the USA. Wake up America before it;’s too late!
