‘It’s a perfect example of how the memory of the Nazi Holocaust can sadly be used to justify fascist and even genocidal policies.’
Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz on Monday by applauding Israel’s brutal attacks on Gaza and calling for unquestioning loyalty to Israel.
Speaking at a Holocaust memorial ceremony in Ottawa, Poilievre celebrated the birth of the “great state of Israel” after the Nazi Holocaust.
He then praised Israel for its military campaign in Gaza, which has killed at least 47,300 Palestinians and prompted a genocide case against Israel at the World Court, as well as accusations of genocide from leading human rights groups and scholars.
“Israel has fought back the regimes, and the terrorist groups that sought to annihilate Israel have themselves been annihilated,” said Poilievre, referring to the Hamas-led attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, which he compared to the Nazi Holocaust.
“And Israel has friends, as do the Jewish people, friends that will stand through thick and thin, through fire and water, not equivocating, not speaking out of both sides of our mouth.”
Besides the massive civilian death toll and ongoing humanitarian catastrophes unleashed by Israel’s multi-front attacks, Israel in fact failed to destroy Hamas and other Palestinian and Lebanese resistance groups in the region. (more...)
