    I have never felt more ashamed to be Canadian. In 2016, Canada had 220 thousand Lebanese-Canadians and 50 thousand Palestinian-Canadians. It feels like the complete alienation of the Arab community.

      And 282 thousand Jews as of 2021. 🤔

      He’s gotta dance on that tight rope. And if he loses balance, pipsqueak takes over and I’m sure you know how he feels about this issue.

        There are plenty of anti-Zionist Jews who are opposed to the genocide and Israel.

      How many Jews does Canada have, because if its more than 50,220, then I guess we know why Canada doesn’t want to agree with the genocide claim.

        Are you implying that all Jews homogeneously support Netanyahu and the rabid zionists backing him?

        That sounds quite anti-Semitic.

          Nope, not at all. I’m implying that which ever base has more potential votes for current politicians is how the government will react to world events.

        Canada has been trying to expand Arab and Iranian immigration. There are currently also 200 thousand Iranian Canadians in the country.
