Trudeau Government Cuts off Arms Sales to Israel

March 20, 2024 — Breitbart.com reports: “The Canadian government of Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Tuesday that it is ending arms sales — such as they are — to Israel, bowing to pressure from left-wing radicals as Israel fights against genocidal Palestinian terrorists.

According to Al Jazeera, Canada’s arms exports to Israel are minuscule, amounting to less than $90 million over the past nine years. ‘The vast majority of Canada’s military exports to Israel come in the form of parts and components.’

Israel’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, reacted angrily, according to the Times of Israel:

‘I am sorry that the government of Canada is taking this step that undermines Israel’s right to self-defense in the face of Hamas murderers who carried out terrible crimes against humanity and against innocent Israelis, including the elderly, women and children,’ he says in a statement.

‘History will judge the current acts of Canada harshly,’ he says…”  (While this will not have much of an impact on the military might of Israel, 69% of Israel’s arms purchases come from the U.S. and 30% from Germany- in fact, in 2022 Canada exported only 21 million in military good to Israel while Canada has purchased more than a billion dollars of Israeli weapon systems in the past decade.   

According to GlobalFirepower.com, the United States has the highest Military Strength Rating, Israel is number 15, and Iran is number 21.  Even if Iran were more powerful than Israel, history has shown us that when Israel is attacked by superior forces, the result is that Israel gets a new national holiday.  Yahweh God has promised: …I will give them [Israel] an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off – Isaiah 56:5.  See the next report.)

Lapid slams Canada’s suspension of arms exports to Israel: Wrong, harmful and dangerous

March 20, 2024 — Israel National News reports: “Opposition leader Yair Lapid on Tuesday criticized Canada for deciding to stop arms exports to Israel, but in the same breath also blamed the Israeli government’s conduct which, he claimed, led to Canada’s decision.

‘Canada’s decision to suspend arms supplies to Israel is wrong, harmful and dangerous. Israel is waging a war against an extreme and cruel terrorist organization and the Canadians simply do not understand what is really happening here,’ Lapid wrote on social media.

He then added, ‘This does not change the fact that we are witnessing the collapse of Israel’s foreign relations because of a bad and negligent government that manages it terribly.’

‘It is unimaginable that while our children are being murdered, women are being raped and kidnapped civilians are being held captive by Hamas, this extreme government manages to lose the battle for public opinion,’ charged Lapid.

‘It’s time to have a good government here that will win in Gaza, and also win in the international arena. We have done it in the past, we will know how to do it in the future,’ he concluded…”

After significant alterations, Canada approves motion on Palestinian statehood

March 19, 2024 — Israel National News reports: “Canada’s parliament on Monday approved a motion submitted by the New Democratic Party (NDP) on Palestinian statehood, but not before the ruling Liberals drastically altered its wording, CTV News reported.

The motion initially called on Canada to recognize the ‘State of Palestine’, but the Liberals drastically altered its wording to see the government simply work towards that aim as part of a two-state solution.

After appearing destined to fail when the governing Liberals vowed Monday to not let the opposition sway its foreign policy, Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon shocked MPs on both sides of the aisle when he rose in the final minutes of debate to advance a nearly 500-word motion that rephrased considerable portions of the NDP motion.

After generating considerable international attention and division among MPs during a nearly day-long debate, the non-binding but symbolic NDP motion ultimately passed 204 to 117, according to CTV News…”  (Caroline B. Glick, senior contributing editor to The Jerusalem Post wrote a book in 2014 entitled “The Israeli Solution” where she stated in the preface: “Establishing a Palestinian state, so the thinking goes, would be a panacea for all the region’s ills.  It would end the Arab world’s conflict with Israel, because the reason the Arab world is anti-Israel is that there is no Palestinian state.  It would also nearly erase the Arab world’s anti-Americanism, because the reason the Arabs – and the larger Muslim world – are anti-American is that the United States supports Israel even though there is no Palestinian state…  For the past ninety years, the two-state solution has been tried more than a dozen times, and every time it has failed, abysmally.  Between 1970 and 2013, the United States presented nine different peace plans for Israel and the Palestinians, all based on the two-state solution – and for the past twenty years, the two-state solution has been the centerpiece of the U.S. Middle East policy.  But despite this laser focus, American efforts to implement the two-state solution have all been dismal failures.”)
