Justin Trudeau has “unequivocally condemned” and “unreservedly condemned” Iran for missile strikes that didn’t kill a single Israeli civilian. But Canada’s prime minister hasn’t once “condemned”, let alone “unreservedly condemned”, Israel’s ongoing holocaust in Gaza.
As it bombs Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, Syria and the West Bank, Trudeau denounced an Iranian response to Israel’s aggression that reportedly didn’t directly kill any civilians. “We unreservedly condemn Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel. It is further destabilizing action by this terrorist regime in the region, putting civilians at risk and running the risk of a wider war,” Trudeau told the press. In an earlier post on X the PM noted, “Canada unequivocally condemns Iran’s reckless attack against Israel. It puts innocent civilians at risk. We fully support Israel’s right to defend itself against this attack. And, we repeat our call for de-escalation across the region, for the safety of all civilians.”
Even though Israel killed 100 Lebanese and Palestinians on the day Iran attacked Israel, their deaths didn’t rate a mention from Trudeau. Plus, Ottawa ignored an Israeli crime that partly precipitated Iran’s missile attack. Two months ago, Israel assassinated a Hamas leader and ceasefire negotiator Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Ottawa also remained silent in April when Israel murdered 16 in strikes on Iran’s diplomatic compound in Damascus even though the adjacent Canadian embassy’s windows were destroyed.
In fact, the Trudeau government stayed mum while Israel bombed Syria hundreds of times in recent years. But Trudeau “unequivocally condemned” Iran’s subsequent response to the attack on the diplomatic compound. “Canada unequivocally condemns Iran’s airborne attacks against Israel”, Trudeau stated. “We stand with Israel. After supporting Hamas’ brutal October 7 attack, the Iranian regime’s latest actions will further destabilize the region and make lasting peace more difficult.”
Ottawa is certainly consistent. It ignores Israel’s criminal escalation while harshly condemning Iran’s restrained responses. (more...)
