The two major international conflicts currently roiling the world, in Ukraine and Israel, should be fairly morally unambiguous, but a new poll shows a stark contrast in how Canadians view them.
Although there are clear differences between Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine and Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, both were unprovoked acts of aggression against western-aligned states orchestrated by dictatorships intent on upending the liberal postwar international order. Both Kyiv and Jerusalem have been forced to fight existential wars they did not ask for, against enemies with military ambitions that go far beyond the current conflicts.
Support for Israel is very different from what I have observed in the past, far less grassroots.
Social media has seen a concerted elite lead effort where besides the official organizations a mix of academics, journalists, MP’s and other prominent individuals work to win hearts and minds.
Some of these grandees are base hypocrites who made themselves busy in the past calling myself and my late wife “right wing Islamophobes”. Be assured their Oct 7th conversions will be quickly reversed once the wind changes direction.
Their messaging has been off as well. I have seen some tweets that are real clangers suggesting that Hamas supporters are an affront to multiculturalism when it was multiculty that enabled the Islamists to begin with.
There has been a push by some to denounce DEI not realizing that Jewish organizations such as the ADL continue to seek the blessing of official victim hood status from the DEI cabal.
Others seem to believe DEI was created solely to target Jews forgetting that Whites have been the primary target for years.
What is off-putting is their efforts to secure victim status if successful would leave Whites as the sole official DEI villain.
That’s a bad look for people seeking our assistance.
Make no mistake that Trudeau’s desperate whoring for the Muslim vote has poisoned the land and we will all pay for that for many years to come until Islamist immigration is halted.
Our elites must hate us. Why else would they have imported incompatible 3rd world cultures that have no regard for Western civilization in general let alone Israel.
