Mark Carney says he’s ‘aware’ of Gaza ‘genocide,’ backs Israeli arms embargo

By Geoffrey Clarfield

This is from Post Millenial Canadian News yesterday.  In my opinion Mark Carney is a clear outspoken enemy of Israel and a friend of Communist China.

Liberal leader Mark Carney’s claim—“I know there is”—in response to a protester yelling about genocide in Palestine is leaving Canadians wondering where the prime minister stands on Israel, especially given the ongoing debate over whether a genocide is or is not occurring in Gaza at Israel’s hands.

Carney’s Tuesday night rally in Calgary was interrupted twice by pro-Palestine activists. More than two thousand people came to hear Carney speak, even though the venue could only hold 900. Many stayed outside, listening through loudspeakers.

“Mr. Carney, there’s a genocide happening in Palestine!” shouted a heckler about 15 seconds into Carney’s speech.

“I know there is,” Carney responded, triggering chants of his name from the crowd, according to the Western Standard.

Less than a minute later, another protester yelled, “Mr. Carney why are you buying fighter jets from the USA?!”

“We are reviewing the contract,” Carney replied, again met with cheers and chants as the second heckler was removed.

Carney’s remark agreeing that “there is” a genocide stands in contrast to former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s full-throated defense of Zionism.

“No one in Canada should ever be afraid to call themselves a Zionist,” Trudeau declared at a federally sponsored “National Forum on Combatting Antisemitism” in Ottawa. “I am a Zionist.”
