Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Palestinians thank the Trudeau government for rejecting US embassy move to Jerusalem

May 16, 2018 9:25 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Globe and Mail reported in December:

Ruling out Donald Trump’s approach, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he favours a “two-state solution” and won’t be moving Canada’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

A two-state solution was established under the British Mandate for Palestine (Ottoman South Syria). Ever since 1948, the Muslim Arab countries surrounding Israel sought to obliterate the Jewish state. The PLO’s founding manifesto stated its objective of “liquidating” Israel; to this day, the Palestinian Authority, Fatah and Hamas charters call for a one-state solution, and the total destruction of the Jewish state.

For his failure to support Israel’s historical right to exist as a nation with Jerusalem as its capital, Trudeau is being praised by jihadists in the Palestinian territories, as he welcomed a Palestinian delegation in Ottawa. The delegation said in a statement:

“Those shocking and bloody images can’t leave us without welcoming the decision of the government of Canada and other governments who didn’t participate in the so-called inauguration ceremony of the U.S. on Palestinian land,” said the statement from the Ottawa delegation.

Yet “these shocking and bloody images” are coming from forces that are obviously manipulating the media.

Trudeau has drawn his line in the sand.

“Palestinians thank Canada for not supporting U.S. embassy move to Jerusalem,” by Mike Blanchfield, The Canadian Press, May 15, 2018:

OTTAWA — Palestinian diplomats say they welcome the Trudeau government’s decision not to attend the controversial opening of the new American embassy in Jerusalem on Monday.

But a spokesman for Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland says Canada wasn’t invited.

Canada, along with its major allies, does not support the U.S. embassy move to Jerusalem, saying that’s a decision for a future peace agreement between the Palestinians and Israelis.

Monday’s inauguration of the new U.S. embassy sparked the bloodiest day in four years at the Israel-Gaza border as Israeli forces killed more than 50 Palestinians.

The carnage unfolded several dozen kilometres away from where the Trump administration was following through on its decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.

Israel blames Hamas for inciting the violence, a position that its ambassador to Canada reiterated in a statement released in Ottawa.

Ambassador Nimrod Barkan said Hamas is a terrorist organization that is trying to “hijack the future of the Palestinian people for its own nefarious ambitions.”

But the Palestinian delegation in Ottawa called the U.S. embassy move “unilateral and illegal” and Israel’s military response to the protests an “immoral act” that relied on “excessive force.”

“Those shocking and bloody images can’t leave us without welcoming the decision of the government of Canada and other governments who didn’t participate in the so-called inauguration ceremony of the U.S. on Palestinian land,” said the statement from the Ottawa delegation……

    The Left is in such a high position on the moral ground than the rest of the lower human level, they refuse to see reality as how us mere mortals live, in or experience, this continuous violence. Blame others and not the perpetrators of violence is the liberal mindset, they fear been called racist or islamophobes this is reserved for the mere mortals. Their attitude and that of the Media is effective in suppressing free speech.

    The San Bernardino attack, Obama while telling every one else “we do not yet know”, suggested work place violence a day after the attack. He was one of the first to know what the reason was.

    Obama:
    At this stage, we do not yet know why this terrible event occurred. We do know that the two individuals who were killed were equipped with weapons and appeared to have access to additional weaponry at their homes. But we don’t know why they did it. We don’t know at this point the extent of their plans. We do not know their motivations.

    And I just received a briefing from FBI Director Comey, as well as Attorney General Lynch, indicating the course of their investigation. At this point, this is now a FBI investigation. That’s been done in cooperation and consultation with local law enforcement. It is possible that this was terrorist-related, but we don’t know. It’s also possible that this was workplace-related. And until the FBI has been able to conduct what are going to be a large number of interviews, until we understand the nature of the workplace relationship between the individual and his superiors — because he worked with the organization where this terrible shooting took place — until all the social media and electronic information has been exploited, we’re just not going to be able to answer those questions.

    This is the superior liberal Obama speaking to the deplorables.

    • Rick says

      May 17, 2018 at 10:00 am

      We Americans need to be frequently reminded of just how dangerous Barack Hussein Obama was to us and what’s left of the “free” world.

    “Canada, along with its major allies, does not support the U.S. embassy move to Jerusalem, saying that’s a decision for a future peace agreement between the Palestinians and Israelis.” Since when has there ever been a peace agreement between Palestine and Israel that meant anything to Palestine? The phrase “Peace agreement with Palestine” is an oxymoron. Since when do the Palestinians tell us where to put our embassy? This is propaganda: Trudeau speaking, not Canada.

    “Palestinian diplomats say they welcome the Trudeau government’s decision not to attend”. As the article says, they weren’t invited. More propaganda. More Trudeau-speak.

    “…the Palestinian delegation in Ottawa called the U.S. embassy move “unilateral and illegal”…” Vague threat. More propaganda. It sounds like they plan to go to the UN about it. If they haven’t already.

    “Ambassador Nimrod Barkan said Hamas is a terrorist organization that is trying to “hijack the future of the Palestinian people for its own nefarious ambitions.” Like there’s no connection between Palestine and Hamas.

    It’s hard to sort out the deception and propaganda from truth in this article. This is from the national news agency of Canada. Hard to say what truth there is to it or if the intent is even to tell the truth. Kind of like Pravda.

    Shame on Trudeau.

    God bless Israel.

    Perhaps someone should enlighten our great PM. Jerusalem was orginially built by the jews, and it has been historically proven they occupied the country, Isreal, for the past, at the absolute minimum 3,500 years. Archeology at least 10,000.

    The jews were forced out of all the other countries of the middle east during the last century, which they had lived with other religions and culture for over a 1,000 years. The vast majority of jewish refugees went to Israel, with only their posessions that they could carry, leaving their homes and etc. behind. I have not read anywhere that they were reimbursed for their losses, therefore assume they were not, but someone received the benefit.

    I don’t think I have to remind anyone what their losses were, mentally, physically, emotionally and financial, for a decade before, during and after WWII. In all of Europe not just in Germany!

    It is time my country, ESPECIALLY trudeau and his so called progressive cabinet, that claims to be so politically correct, and open minded, loads their brain, search their soul, before openning their mouths.

    Perhaps trudeau and his gang are so open minded that all of their brains have fallen out. This can be their only excuse.

    No I am not jewish. I am a dreaded conservative, who was taught, and I lived my life followed my teaching. “Never profit in any manner off anyones blood, sweat or tears. Be kind.”

God bless the Canadian conservatives, may their voices be heard in their next election ! Yes I am not Jewish either ,Israel is a the only country in the Middle East that respects the golden rule, that respect human rights, that respects freedom ,it is the only country there that deserves our support ! A small country surround by a sea of irrational hate ,violence, tribal warfare ,slavery, and terrorism.

    “You will be the last infidel to be executed when the caliphate arrives to Canada and your wife and daughters the last to be raped and sold as slaves”

    Personally I am against the deaths that have occurred in Gazah, it has been a massacre. Israel’s army has enough resources to avoid that massacre–even if they had crossed the border–which I believe has not happened. I don’t care if they were Hamas fascists or not. You can use water cannons, smoke cans, rubber balls… and ultimately firearms to defend yourself.
    On the other hand… Muslims and Islam disgust me, whether they are Palestinians, Moroccans, Egyptians, Chechens, Pakistanis, or European/American converts… I get disgusted. Muslims should live isolated from the civilized world, they are monsters who want to create theocracys and end our freedoms. Israel has not acted omo a civilized country… I’m sorry but it’s true, this was a mistake, a big mistake.

    Trudeau is NOT my Prime Minister. He does not stand for the values that I hold and never will.

    His government is not my government and is wreaking havoc on Canada politically, socially and economically. Their idea of diversity being our strength is not my idea of how to successfully bring in immigrants and enable them to become Canadians, with all of the rights and responsibilities that that entails.

    Trudeau and his Liberals are bound and determined to support radical ideologies that are foreign to Canadian values and to fund organizations and countries that are committed to destroying our democracy.

    Supporting Hamas and opposing Israel by his government’s statement on the US embassy move is 180 degrees opposite to what I believe most Canadian’s want.

    Trudeau and his Liberal progressives are a blight on our great country of Canada and must be removed from office in 2019 if we are to survive as a nation.

  14. Walter Sieruk says

    May 16, 2018 at 2:19 pm

    The Trudeau government of Canada needs ,very much, to wake up to the reality of the truth .Which is that Canada and all the others nations of the West should recognize a simple truth – Jews and the State of Israel are an integral [and important ] part of Western civilization. [Judeo- Christian civilization].

    Therefore,President Trump had wisely said “It’s time to officially recognize [the reality of] Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.” Yes, indeed, it’s very much time to recognize Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel, and he then acted on his word and he had done so by good decision of moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem .This bold and wise decision of President Trump to move the US embassy to Jerusalem has greatly offended many of the Muslim clerics . Be they, for example, the imams of Pakistan or the mullahs of Iran. Those Muslim clerics with their mind control and their unconscionable ways they manipulate the people from the mosques to be their stooges into a, violent uprising, because of the President’s decision is despicable . Some people of the left will say that the decision of move the US embassy to Jerusalem is “provoking” and it will “incite violence.” This only shows the old saying to be true .Which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse. “ The fact is President Trump made the right decision and if the Muslim clerics don’t happen to like it ,well then it’s “tough beans.” to them
    As the Bible informs its readers “The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem … the Lord will be the hope of His people ,and the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16.

    May 16, 2018 at 3:21 pm

    (Trudeau)… “won’t be moving Canada’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.”

    Perhaps it’s time Israeli government should issue demand and deadline: move you embassies to one and proper capitol city of Israel and get out from our land! No more support of fiction that some other city is our capitol city! Only that can bring some reason to opponents. And it is in hands of government of Israel to do it. What they need is having guts, however.

    PROVIDENCE, DONALD TRUMP AND THE RECOGNIZING OF JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL’S ETERNAL CAPITAL

    Was it Donald Trump’s mission and destiny to defy the world and move the US embassy to Jerusalem? Consider this:President Trump the 45th President of the U.S. on the 45th week of his presidency made the decision to enforce Public Law 104-45 (the Jerusalem Embassy Act) which became law under Bill Clinton on 11-8-1995 (when Trump was 18,045 days old); this occurred exactly 21 years to the day (11-08-2016) when he’d defeat Clinton’s wife and be elected 45th President.

    There are too many “coincidences” for this to be coincidental. See more http://www.apollospeaks.com/?p=28220

    Have you ever heard of Jews declaring they will annihilate another nation? Moslems, including palestinians, have this as their goal. They do not hide they want to destroy Israel. Anyone supporting moslems shares this view and is murderer’s abet.

    May 17, 2018 at 12:20 pm

    Does Canada really want to alienate their powerful neighbor to the south, under who’s protection they have lived for decades? When voting for Trudeau, it should a matter for consideration. Although we are a patient people, our patience does have its limits and our withdrawing our military protection should be a matter for serious thought. Love the Muslims? Then turn to them for help.
