Trudeau denounces 'terrifying' rise in antisemitism in Canada: 'This needs to stop'

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents in Canada Wednesday, saying attacks against Jewish people and businesses, do not belong in Canada.

“We’re seeing, right now, a rise in antisemitism. That is terrifying. Molotov cocktails thrown at synagogues, horrific threats of violence targeting Jewish businesses, targeting Jewish day cares with hate. This needs to stop, this is not who we are as Canadians.”

Trudeau also said attacks are happening against Muslim Canadians, as well.

“The rise of Islamophobia we’re seeing across this country and around the world is also unacceptable. The expressions of hate against Muslims, against Palestinians, against anyone waving a Palestinian flag. This is unacceptable. This is not who we are as Canadians.”

On Tuesday a synagogue and Jewish community centre in Montreal were firebombed. In Toronto, pro-Palestinian protesters have been assailing Jewish-owned businesses and calling for boycotts against them.

“If Canada can’t figure this out, tell me: what corner of the world is going to figure this out?” Trudeau said, referring to the rising tensions in Canada over the Israel-Hamas war. “This is a moment where a country like Canada, which has been deeply proud of the fact that we get along here in diversity better than just about any other place in the world, this is a time where we need to lead.”

With just over a month since Hamas’s deadly rampage in Israel Trudeau reiterated calls for a humanitarian pause.

Why don’t you look at your immigration policy, Castreau?

Well bringing in 500,000 “Palestinians” should go a long way to help that, Justine.

Looks like he’s found the hitch he was looking for to take away freedoms.

Trudeau started decently enough by denouncing antisemitism in Canada. But then he just had to dilute the message, and provide a distraction.

Liberals either can’t do anything right, or they chose not to do anything right.

Moralizing Trudope lectures Canadians after he celebrated in the Parliament an SS Nazi along with the grunting and clapping Zelensky and his grifter wife.

You can’t make up the hypocrisy of these jackasses.
