A month after news surfaced about the RCMP investigating Canadians who might have committed war crimes in Gaza, genocide supporters continue to be stirred over the matter. Imagine the ability to cause panic and force the police’s hand if the NDP and others actually pushed to enforce Canadian law towards Israel.
In Saturday’s National Post there was a long interview with an Israel defence (occupation) forces lawyer headlined “‘Political expediency’: Lawyer for IDF soldiers critical of war-crimes probe. Lt.-Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch has been retained by soldiers questioned by foreign governments, as backlash grows to RCMP’s investigation.” On the same day Montreal lawyer and failed Conservative Party candidate Neil “cancel man” Oberman reportedly told The Suburban “the RCMP will soon be sending him documents related to the national police agency’s probe into possible war crimes by ‘those with a nexus to Canada’ during the ongoing Israel-Gaza war.” Concurrently, the Jerusalem Post noted, “Canada confirms dual Israeli nationals could be probed for war crimes”.
On July 2 B’nai Brith was scheduled to host RCMP assistant commissioner Matt Peggs for a discussion on the matter. But “Inside the RCMP’s Structural Investigation into the Israel-Hamas Conflict” was cancelled at the last minute. The small win was likely due to some online criticism of the police’s deference to the genocide lobby. (I mentioned the virtual town hall in an article and tagged the police in a post noting, “RCMP seeks to assuage concerns of criminals. Next a commissioner will speak at an event with Hell Angels associates on ‘inside the RCMP’s structural investigation into biker gangs.’”)
The seriousness of the RCMP’s investigation is hard to ascertain. (more...)
