Netanyahu slams Canadian PM for appearing to back protester’s Gaza ‘genocide’ claim

2025-04-11

[IsraelTimes] Mark Carney asserts he did not hear the word ‘genocide’ and was ‘stating a fact in terms of the arms restrictions’ that Canada has imposed on Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday condemned Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for appearing to support a protester’s claim that Israel is committing genocide in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

"Instead of supporting Israel, a democracy that is fighting a just war with just means against the barbarians of Hamas, [Carney] attacks the one and only Jewish state," wrote Netanyahu on X, urging his Canadian counterpart to "backtrack [his] irresponsible statement!"

The post replied to a video showing Carney at a Tuesday night rally in Calgary, where he responded to a protester in the crowd who yelled, "Mr. Carney, there is a genocide happening in Paleostine," by pausing and saying: "Thank you...I’m aware. Which is why we have an arms embargo."

At a campaign stop in Calgary on Wednesday, Carney clarified his remarks, saying that he had not heard the word "genocide," and was only "stating a fact in terms of the arms restrictions," according to CBC.

He explained that during the noisy rally ahead of the April 28 election, "You hear snippets of what people say and I heard Gaza, and my point was I’m aware of the situation in Gaza."

Ottawa announced in March 2024 a stop to all future arms exports to Israel, in a motion that was part of a larger vote calling on the international community to work toward a two-state solution to resolve the conflict between Israel and the Paleostinians, in line with Canadian government policy.

In September, Canada suspended some 30 permits for arms shipments to Israel.

Carney, a former central banker and the new leader of the Liberal Party, was sworn in as Canada’s new prime minister in March. He replaced Justin Trudeau
