Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly’s latest callous and presumptuous advice to Israel, to “take the win” (as Biden also told the Israelis) and “not respond with a direct attack on Iran,” is to be expected. Joly’s anti-Israel antics have raised eyebrows: she voted in the Canadian Parliament less than a month ago in favor […]
Knesset member to Canadian FM Joly after arms embargo vote in parliament: Canada is ‘appeasing radical elements’
Member of Knesset Dan Illouz sent a letter to Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly, saying that a Canadian arms embargo on Israel “sends a dangerous signal to the world that Canada is willing to sideline a democratic ally in favor of appeasing radical elements.” But the letter will likely fall on deaf ears. Joly […]
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister on accusations of Israeli sexual violence: ‘We believe Palestinian women’
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly trivialized the atrocities of October 7 in a post on X by making an obscene moral equivalence between the calculated, savage attacks on Israeli citizens and accusations that have sprung up against Israelis: We believe Palestinian women.

Canada Asks China for Its Help to Influence Houthis to ‘Keep the Red Sea Open’
Canada’s Foreign Minister Melanie Joly is already known to be biased regarding the Israeli war on Hamas.

Trudeau not backing the position that Gaza jihadis, not Israel, bombed al-Ahli hospital
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to refuse to accept the US position that Gaza was bombed by “an errant rocket fired by a terrorist group in Gaza,” specifically, by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

M-103 followup: Canadian government is taking “action” against “Islamophobia”
A pricey plan of “action” by Canada’s Heritage Committee against “Islamophobia” is about to launch.
