Canadian Public Opinion Shifts Towards Palestinians Amid Israel’s Brutal Attack on Gaza

Shifting Public Opinion

Recent polls show a shift in Canadian sentiment towards the Palestinians as Israel continues its brutal attack on Gaza. About 50% of Canadians believe Israel's actions have been too "heavy-handed."

Conservative Leader's Stance

Despite the changing public opinion, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre remains a staunch supporter of Israel, showing little sympathy for the plight of Palestinians.

Israel's Actions and Political Response

Israel's actions in Gaza have led to the death of thousands of Palestinians, a humanitarian crisis, and displacement of the population. Poilievre's unwavering support for Israel contrasts with the Liberal Party's more nuanced approach.

CIJA's Appreciation

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) commended Poilievre and his Conservative Party for their support of Israel and opposition to motions restricting military exports to the country.

Controversial Talking Points

Poilievre's recent speech at a synagogue in Toronto included controversial statements about Gaza's occupation, Iran's involvement, and the nature of pro-Palestine protests in Canada.

The Conservative leader's remarks have sparked debate and drawn attention to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
