OH, THIS IS RICH!! SO WHERE DOES TRUDEAU REALLY STAND? HOW WELCOME IS HE GOING TO BE at the mosques, or will they just ignore it to keep their contact with a “useless idiot,” who might open a door for them into the Canadian Government? Recently, Marc Garneau, Liberal foreign affairs critic, shared the stage with Conservative Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird at a rally in Ottawa in support of the people of Israel. Garneau, on behalf of his leader Trudeau and the Federal Liberal party, spoke sincerely and forcefully, on behalf of Israel’s right to defend itself. However, his efforts and by extension, Trudeau’s efforts to once again position his party as a staunch defender of Israel, were seriously hurt by the shameful participation of Liberal nominee Garshan Kang as featured speaker at a violent anti- Israel rally in Calgary. Prior to the Ottawa rally for Israel, Baird had criticized Trudeau and the Liberals for being silent for about six days in the face of Hamas launching hundreds of missiles into Israel with the intent of killing as many Israel civilians as possible. When Israel finally decided to defend itself and try to stop these missiles with its own air assault, a former Liberal MP and current Liberal nominee for Mississauga Centre, Omar Alghabra, on his Facebook stated: “Tragic! My thoughts and prayers are with the innocent civilians caught in blind and cruel bombing,” the post stated over top of a picture of a recently bombed neighbourhood in Gaza. In effect, referring to Israel’s self-defensive measures as “blind and cruel”. Trudeau’s silence for six days and Alghabra’s highly critical comments, called into question whether Trudeau and the Liberals, were just paying mere lip service to their oft-stated position that the Liberal Party stood behind Israel and supported Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas terrorists. Garneau’s comments were very well-received by the pro Israel crowd. Unfortunately, two days later, a pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas rally was held in Calgary. This protest was organized by Justice for Palestinians and Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights, a University of Calgary club (SPHR). Featured speakers included SPHR president ala’s Hamdan, U of C professor Arthur Clarke and Liberal MLA for Calgary-Skyview and federal Liberal Party candidate Garshan Kang, who was personally approved by Justin Trudeau and won his nomination by acclamation. About 1,000 pro-Palestinian protesters attended. There was a counter-protest of Jewish and non-Jewish -Israel supporters across the street consisting of ten men and women, peacefully holding signs. canadafreepress/index.php/article/64772
