Jihad Watch reported yesterday about the jihad attack in which a Canadian citizen, Amichai Ish-Ran, originally from Montreal, was shot five times as a Palestinian jihadist opened fire on Israeli civilians in a drive-by. His wife Shira, “who was 30 weeks pregnant, was also shot, in the abdomen.” Shira and Amichai’s baby boy was delivered by emergency C-section, but the infant didn’t make it. Shira and Amichai are recovering in a hospital.
Canadian Conservative opposition leader Andrew Scheer issued a statement:
Absolutely gutted by the news that Amichai and Shira Ish-Ran’s baby boy has passed away after being born prematurely following a targeted and gutless terror attack in Ofra. Jill and I are praying for their family in Montreal and for Amichai and Shira’s full recovery….Conservatives unequivocally condemn, in the strongest possible terms, this vile terrorist attack as well as all acts of violent anti-Semitism. We must stand up to the cowards who target and attack innocent people simply for being Jewish.
This was in sharp contrast to the lack of any initial statement from the Liberal Trudeau government, as indicated in the article below:
Many Canadian-Israelis have been circulating a letter on social media, urging others to protest the silence of Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canadian Ambassador to Israel Deborah Lyons.
Trudeau’s initial ignoring of this heinous crime was inexcusable, and should not have required a letter to prompt a delayed response.
To add insult to injury with respect to the ongoing jihad against the Israelis by the Palestinians, a headline in the Guardian two days ago equated the murder of two innocent Israelis with the deaths of two Palestinian jihadis in West Bank violence.
Palestinian jihadis “opened fire at a bus stop near the West Bank Jewish outpost of Givat Assaf,” killing two innocent people. “A third Israeli was gravely injured in the assault.” The two Palestinians who were killed were both jihadis, and both were wanted for previous deadly jihad attacks. They died in a battle with Israeli security forces during arrest raids.
Propagandists present the anti-Semitic Palestinian jihad war as resistance against the “oppressor,” “apartheid” Israel. Remember: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is a jihadi motto about the aspiration to obliterate Israel (i.e. from the river Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea).
It is appalling how the world remains generally tolerant of jihad murders of Israelis, reflected in ongoing UN resolutions against Israel. Recently: “The UN General Assembly’s decolonization committee, which includes all 193 member states, today adopted nine resolutions against Israel, and zero on the rest of the world.”
“WATCH: Canadian opposition condemns Palestinian terror, government silent,” by Atara Beck, World Israel News, December 13, 2018:
Canadian-Israelis have written a letter protesting their native country’s “deafening silence” on the Ofra shooting Sunday night. The Opposition, however, has strongly condemned the barbaric attack.
Following the news of the passing of the latest victim of Palestinian terror – an infant delivered 10 weeks early by emergency C-section after his mother was shot in the abdomen – Canada’s opposition leader, Andrew Scheer of the Conservative party, issued the following statement:
“Absolutely gutted by the news that Amichai and Shira Ish-Ran’s baby boy has passed away after being born prematurely following a targeted and gutless terror attack in Ofra. Jill and I are praying for their family in Montreal and for Amichai and Shira’s full recovery.
“Conservatives unequivocally condemn, in the strongest possible terms, this vile terrorist attack as well as all acts of violent anti-Semitism. We must stand up to the cowards who target and attack innocent people simply for being Jewish.”
Many Canadian-Israelis have been circulating a letter on social media, urging others to protest the silence of Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canadian Ambassador to Israel Deborah Lyons. Amichai is a Canadian citizen, they note in the letter, yet they “have not heard any word of condemnation against the Palestinian Authority from you or the Canadian government.”
“The Canadian government’s silence is deafening. Canadian funds are going to an entity that repeatedly incites its people to destroy the State of Israel and to kill Jews,” the letter states.
Silence is complicity
“When will the Canadian government condemn the attack in Ofra and make clear to the Palestinian Authority, which survives almost entirely on international aid, that its violent rhetoric is unacceptable? When will Canada condition its millions of dollars of aid on the Palestinian Authority ending its ‘pay for slay’ program that supports and rewards the murder of Israeli citizens?
“Until then, Canada is unfortunately complicit in barbaric attacks on Israeli men, women and children. Amichai is a Canadian citizen. His grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins live in Montreal. We expect Canada to speak up in defense of its citizens, targeted by Palestinian terror simply because they are Jews living in the Jewish state.”
Meanwhile, Peter Kent, a Conservative member of parliament for the riding of Thornhill and former Minister of the Environment, issued the following statement on video, slamming the PA’s incitement to terror, expressing solidarity with the victims and proclaiming that the “light of freedom and democracy will prevail over the darkness of terror attacks and hate.”…..

Trudeau is a creepy Muslim sympathizer. A PM should be fair and equitable with regard to matters cultural and religious. Could it be that our PM is working with CAIRCAN or other Muslim terror groups? It certainly seems so.
Mac-101 says
So is Canada like the USA where the majority of Canadian Jews support the Libs who hate them And love Islam?
Renate says
It seems to be and I can’t understand why any Jew in his right mind would vote Liberal.
Mac-101 says
It just baffles me how the majority of the worlds smartest people can support people and organizations that are supporting those who wish to destroy them AND Western Civilization.
If the majority did not support them the threat from Jihad and lsamification would be greatly reduced.
Renate says
Mac-101, it’s nuts, but between the Leftists and Islam, here we are. It’s like people say, “You just can’t make this stuff up.”
WPM says
Trudeau is too busy playing dress up in various Middle Eastern East and far eastern Asian clothes. Berating western civilization in the news , giving money away to “Canada citizens ” returning from serving in overseas terrorist outfits . Trying to find more ways to cut Canadian Veterans Benefits to pay more benefits to “Moslem refugees”. Pointing out Trump is a ‘ big meaning ‘ for building border fences on America southern border. Enforcing or passing making laws “hate speech” a crime ,appeasing violent preaching imams in Canadian Mosques calling for the extermination of all Jews on earth never mind just killing them in Israel which is nor consider hate speech to his ears.

Someone “insults” the hijab, the Shiny Pony loses his mind. A jihadist destroys a family so that he can go to paradise and fornicate with renewable virgins for all eternity and the Shiny Pony has not a word to say. The only thing more disgusting about him are the people who vote him into office.

(shiny pony) Turdeau is a embarrassment and a traitor to all proud CANADIANS and the nation of CANADA
Michael Copeland says
Targeted “simply for being Jewish”.
Correct. The jihadi terrorists did not know their victims.
They are, though, aware of the instructions they receive in the mosque:
“Slaughter Jews wherever you find them. Their spilled blood pleases Allah.”
Thus spoke Haj Amin al Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, collaborator with Hitler.
Renate says
That’s Justin Trudeau and his post nationalist state for you.
Dawne says
Trudeau is disgraceful.
FYI says
Trudeau: French Canadian slang for a Quisling
Lydia Church says
Truly sad!!!
This just shows how evil islam is, to kill an unborn baby, as innocent as he can be, just for being Jewish. How’s that for racism?
And those who support islam, like trudope, are just as evil. His silence is repulsive.
My heart and all sympathetic condolences go out to this couple.
The only consolation is that the baby is in heaven, far removed from
this evil world. I also wish them a full recovery, and if they want this,
then ten more babies in the place of this deceased son.
ninetyninepct says
Justin Trudeau, the most hated person in Canada. Even more so than Khadr, Monsef, Khalid, Alghabra and the rest of the sharia jihadist Liberal Caucus. It is suspicious how many Muslim terrorists are in the Liberal Caucus when they are such a small portion of the population.
Yitz says
I agree with renata totally
Older Canadian says
Thank you Mr. Scheer. Thank you for having a heart, and thank you for caring.
Thank you for constantly opposing those who are united in hate against Canada and all her good and decent citizens. Your great-grandchildren one day will be so proud of their heritage.
