OP-ED: Carney awards Hamas by legitimizing their terror campaign
"Carney made no secret of his disdain for Israel and his support of the Gazans in the months prior to April’s election, once muttering genocide in the midst of a press conference."

If a would-be politician tells you who he is during an election campaign, believe him.
Prime Minister Mark Carney made no secret of his disdain for Israel and his support of the Gazans in the months prior to April’s election, once muttering genocide in the midst of a press conference.
The legacy media virtually ignored it.
But Liberal Jews – and the Elbow’s Up crowd – were so steeped in hate for US president Donald Trump and so enchanted by Carney’s economics pedigree, they voted for him, despite the fact that he really despised them.
It’s the same Carney who claimed in June that Canadian values and Muslim values are the same, and repeatedly chastised Israel for trying to take down Hamas.
It is the same Carney who met with Jewish MPs and other community leaders a few days ago and duped them into thinking he had their backs, that he cared about tackling anti-Semitism.
Six days later, he stabbed all of them in the back by declaring that Canada recognizes a Palestinian state.
Now I’m not sure if the MPs and weak Jewish community leaders realize they were used or that Carney is incredibly Machiavellian, or both.
His actions sent the message that the terrorists who brutally murdered, raped and butchered 1,200 Israelis two years ago and who took 250 others hostage are to be rewarded.
He made his declaration one day before the start of the sacred Jewish New Year, as if he wasn’t soulless enough and hadn’t already stabbed Canadian Jews enough in the back
Nearly 50 hostages — both dead and alive — are still in Gaza and contrary to his promises at the beginning of August, his current statement does not make statehood of a non-existent contingent on releasing those hostages.
Like the geopolitical whiz he thinks he has (and has proven not at all to be), Carney has declared statehood for a country that does not exist. He has put his faith in Mahmoud Abbas, now in his 20th year as head of the Palestine Authority, who pays terrorists to slay Jews.
Our brilliant PM seems to think the nearly 90-year-old Abbas will hold a democratic election next year.
Fat chance.
Although he considers himself a legend in his own mind, it is clear our PM has fallen prey to a steady flow of Hamas propaganda, which has manipulated feeble minds to think there is a genocide in Gaza and Palestinians are starving to death, even though there is plenty of evidence to prove otherwise.
If Israel has done anything wrong in the past two years, it is underestimating the power of the propaganda to influence weak minds — and not engaging in a non-stop media blitz to counteract it.
But besides Carney’s Jew hatred and his sheer hubris, this was done without Parliamentary consent.
Parliament voted against recognizing a Palestinian state last year, but Carney — even though the House is now back in session — circumvented their wishes and unilaterally declared Canada’s intentions.
These are not at all Canada’s intentions. They’re the intentions of a man who fancies himself a dictator, who rules the country like he owns it.
It’s the intentions of a man who threw the Canadian Jewish community under the bus to buy Muslim votes.
As PC deputy leader Melissa Lantsman said Sunday, Carney has isolated himself even more from our allies — particularly to the south of us — and his “cold, calculated move” was “done entirely for votes.”
Let’s be frank here.
Carney doesn’t really care about Canada.
He cares about looking good in the eyes of his European pals — Emmanuel Macron,
president of France and Britain’s Keir Sturmer, who have appeased radical Islam so much, their major cities have already fallen to the terrorists and their sympathizers.
Perhaps these three and the PM of Australia, Anthony Albanese, think this move is also giving U.S. President Donald Trump the middle finger. But the U.S. will veto the move at the U.N.
As Scottish author, Ben Freeman says, the move is strictly performative.
Nothing will happen.
But what it will do, without a doubt, increase the already chilling level of anti-Semitism by terrorist sympathizers we’ve seen on Canada’s streets for two years.
I hate to be pessimistic at the dawn of the Jewish New Year but we already know our political leaders and our police haven’t and continue to not protect us.
What Carney refuses to realize — or has no clue given his poor grasp of geopolitics — it never ends with the Jews.
It is not just about annihilating Israel. The radical Islamists want to destroy the west.
Meanwhile, I have no doubt that Carney and his sidekick Anita Anand, who has been posting non-stop about Carney’s declaration and her visit to the U.N., will also issue a statement in the next day wishing L’Shana Tova to my community.
It’s hard to say whether their chutzpah or their Jew hatred is more obscene.
How is it that Carney can unilaterally recognize Palestinian statehood without debate or a parliamentary vote, especially considering that the same initiative was soundly voted down not that long ago. Was there a commons vote that I missed? Are we a dictatorship or living in a monarchy now?
Of course Carney's actions are performative because that's what Liberals do rather than deal competently with problems and issues. This is right out of the Justin playbook.
