Also in Canada, thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrated in the streets in response to Operation Guardian of the Walls, despite strict Covid rules.
Also, at a memorial service for four members of a Muslim family run over by a pickup truck in London, Ontario, a prominent imam, Dr Munir El-Kassem of the Islamic Centre of Southwest Ontario, blamed Israel for the attack. He said: “Whatever is happening in Jerusalem and Gaza, is related to whatever happened in London, Ontario.”
Canada is now in the process of organizing an emergency “Islamophobia” summit as a result of the murders, despite the fact that nothing is known about the motive other than the attacker did not belong to any known group, according police.
Meanwhile, a Toronto policeman was run over and killed by Umar Zameer, but a court ordered a complete ban on the release of any information by police, and no high-level political commentary ensued.
The picture of favoritism is stark in Canada, which under the Liberal government ended its previous support for Israel at the UN and support for a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel resolution.
“Canadian representative handed out PA map erasing Israel, but Canadian FM warns Israel not to be ‘provocative,’” by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, July 7, 2021:
During his recent meetings with Israeli officials, Canadian Foreign Minister Marc Garneau warned Israel that “continued building of settlements” is “provocative.” [The Jerusalem Post, July 6, 2021] However, the actions of a Canadian representative earlier in the year was more than provocative – it was a severe breach of Israel – Canadian friendship.
At a ceremony honoring female Palestinian entrepreneurs hosted by the PA Ministry of Women’s Affairs, Head of Cooperation at the Representative Office of Canada in the PA, Jason Tulk, together with PA Minister of Women’s Affairs Dr. Amal Hamad handed out an honorary plaque in the shape of the PA map of “Palestine” which entirely erases the State of Israel:
The use of this PA map replacing Israel with “Palestine” has been condemned by the international community. Former US President Barak Obama called it a security threat to Israel alongside terror:
“As President I will never compromise when it comes to Israel’s security… Not when there are terrorist groups and political leaders committed to Israel’s destruction. Not when there are maps across the Middle East that don’t even acknowledge Israel’s existence.”
[Barak Obama’s speech at AIPAC, 2008]
Agreeing to hand out this particular map, which Palestinian Media Watch has exposed is used by the PA in all frameworks – from schoolbooks, to official logos, and cartoons in the official PA daily and more – the Canadian representative implicitly legitimized the PA vision of a world with only “Palestine,” and the destruction of the State of Israel.
As PMW has exposed, the PA and Fatah untiringly promote the ideology of “liberation” of “Palestine from the Sea to the River.” It is disappointing to see a Canadian government representative actively use such a symbol.
The following are longer excerpts of the reports cited above:
Headline: “The [PA] Ministry of Women’s Affairs honored a group of female entrepreneurs during Land Day and International Women’s Day in El-Bireh and Gaza”
“[PA] Minister of Women’s Affairs Dr. Amal Hamad honored a group of prominent women at the end of the press conference held by the ministry yesterday [March 30, 2021,] in the cities of El-Bireh and Gaza through the internet, under the headline ‘Women in the Shadow of the Epidemic – Support and Giving,’ and this was in partnership with the [PA] government’s general secretariat…
Frederick Middleton says
Since Canada is practising colonization by immigration, why shouldn’t Israel do the same?
mortimer says
Preposterous and shallow comments from FM. In the matter of the settlement of Canada and Israel, in both cases, a great deal of care and consultation occurred. The result was alliances and legally binding agreements. It is very offensive to turn complex history into a cartoonish oversimplification like that. Shameful.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, Frederick Middleton is referring to Muslims flooding into Canada. How is opposing this “shameful”? And consultation with *whom*? Certainly not the Canadian people.
Rob Porter says
Watching Canada turn its back on Israel and instead support Muslim perpetrators of violence and hatred is just par for the course and cause for both disgust and contempt. Canadian Foreign Minister Marc Garneau like the pathetic, shallow, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau he serves, possesses the morals of a cockroach. What they call “Canadian values” are nothing more than feckless, faddish transient notions, here today, gone tomorrow. Canada’s contemporary excuses for leaders are pathetically devoid of wisdom and this is reflected in Canada’s chosen avenue against Israel.
This is now a country going nowhere other than downward..
Infidel says
That was an Obama lie that he said in order to get elected. His policies on Israel were little different from Trudeau’s
Also, Canada is in no position to threaten Israel. Heck, they tried it w/ Saudi Arabia some years back and Riyadh was the one who downgraded diplomatic relations
mortimer says
Jihadi Justin visited every mosque in Canada and wore Islamic socks to a gay parade. What message did that give to Canadian Jewry? Well, the ones who paid attention, were alarmed. But they ones who were sleep-walking to vote Lib-Jihadist did not read the danger signs. There are more Muslims in Trudeau’s Lib-Jihad caucus than there are Jews.
Canada’s political parties are steering Canada into discriminatory Sharia law. Reefs ahead.

Too true.
wpm says
Islam goal is to erase all maps, all history ,all cultures , all governments, all religions ,but Islam and kill or enslave all non-believers. Israel is the canary in the coal mine. First the Jews then all others must submit to Islam ,Moslems being the” best of people” according to Islam Nazi like religious mission statements.
mortimer says
Exactly.
mortimer says
Marc Garneau was the one who is ‘provocative’ and his comments will give terrorists a further excuse to terrorize. Very irresponsible.
Jim says
What is Greece proclaimed that Constantinople should be liberated. What if it decided that Asia Minor should be free, from the river to the sea? That would not be taken seriously. Why then should demands to destroy Israel receive the support of governments around the world? What if India decided that Pakistan should be free and liberated? What if Russia said that Alaska should be liberated from the border to the sea?
James Lincoln says
Jim,
As far as Alaska is concerned, we bought that “fair and square” from Russia for $7 million back in 1867…

Canada: Government rep hands out map erasing Israel, Foreign Minister warns Israel not to be ‘provocative’
………………….
As if advocating the destruction of Israel and genocide of the Jews isn’t provocative. I remember when Canada was a civilized nation.
John McMenamin says
