A recent survey showed that most Canadians see Justin Trudeau as the worst prime minister of the last five decades. Not the smallest part in this judgment can be attributed to the hypocrisy and moral relativism evident in Trudeaus’s statements and actions.

One obvious example of Justin Trudeau’s hypocrisy is his response to the Israel/Palestinian conflict. The atrocities of October 7, 2023 in Israel, when Hamas brutally killed 1200 plus people, barbarically raped girls, burned a baby in an  oven and took 240 hostages, has shocked the civilized world and triggered a justifiable response in support of Israel.

On October 8, Trudeau issued a statement:” the terrorist organization Hamas launched a massive, coordinated attack against Israel and our hearts break for the hundreds of innocent people whose lives were senselessly taken. To our Israeli friends, Canadians stand with you.  The Government of Canada stands ready to support you — our support for the Israel people is steadfast.” This beautifully written statement loses importance and meaning when we look at the actions and statements of the Canadian head of government.

Following this statement, Trudeau went on to vote for the resolution endorsing a ceasefire, harmful to the state of Israel.

Trudeau’s spokesman Mohammad Hussain stated that Trudeau had on October 19 attended the International Muslims Organization of Toronto to show support to the Muslim community.

Did Trudeau or his official representative attended the Ottawa rally on December 04, 2023 in support of Israel and to free the hostages? The conservative opposition party member of parliament Melissa Lantsma attended the rally and passionately called for the release of hostages from Hamas captivity in her speech.

On November 14, 2023 in Maple Ridge, British Columbia Trudeau made comments regarding the actions of Israel in Gaza: “the killing of women and children, of babies. This has to stop.”  By falsely accusing Israel of crimeswhich did not happen, Trudeau legitimized the calls to attack Jewish Canadians.  It gave to the NDP, the Bloc Quebecois, and Muslim and Palestinian communities the ammunition to increase pressure on the government to call for ceasefire. This statement justifiably caused negative responses from Jewish Canadian organizations.  Former Liberal MP Michael Levitt, who is a CEO of Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre, said It could “further fuel antisemitism and lashing out at Jews in Canada.”

It is appropriate to present here the Mission and Values statements of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). ”The  soldier will not use their weapon  or power to harm uninvolved civilians and prisoners and will do everything in their power to prevent harm to their lives, bodies, dignity and property.” The IDF is still the most moral army in earth.  The Hamas terrorists’ reliance on Israel’s moral scruples is especially cynical. 

Findings by research organizations provide evidence of the difficulties the IDF is encountering on the ground in Gaza. The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) conducted a poll in the West Bank and Gaza between November 22 and December 2, 2023.  Findings of the poll indicate that majority of the respondents believe the Hamas decision to carry out the offensive on October 7 is correct and more than 90% of the responders stated they do not believe the Hamas fighters committed any atrocities during the attack. The majority of the respondents believe that Hamas will emerge victorious from the war and resume control over the Gaza Strip.  The Arab World for Research & Development (AWRAD) conducted a poll from October 31 to November 7, 2023.  98% of responders stated they will never forget and forgive what Israel did and 59% strongly support or (16%) support to some extent the October 7 attack carried out by Hamas.

On December 12, 2023 Canada, Australi,a and New Zealand along with other countries voted in the United Nations General Assembly for the resolution for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire.”
