The families of eight Canadians murdered by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, have surgically exposed as political theatre the weasel words Prime Minister Mark Carney used in his official recognition of the state of Palestine.
Palestinian state
THOMSON: If the West has its way, Palestine will be Afghanistan 2.0
Speaking yesterday at a United Nations 2-state solution conference, Prime Minister Carney broached the subject that he would commit the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to assist in “the disarmament and elimination of Hamas as a force.” Sounds like Afghanistan 2.0 to me.

Canada allocates more than $400 million in aid to West Bank, Canada, PM Carney announces
Canada has promised to exceed $400 million in funds to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, including a new investment of $47 million, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Tuesday. The total amount also includes a new $47 million investment in the judicial systems, government structures, economic resilience, and democratization efforts of the territories.
Canada officially recognized a Palestinian state this week alongside the UK, Australia, and Portugal, with Carney reiterating his support for a two-state solution.
Canada recognizes a version of Palestine that only exists in Geneva’s dreams
Hamas performed a public execution on a Gaza City street on Sunday night. Three men in blindfolds, who had been accused of collaborating with Israel, were lowered to their knees in front of hundreds of onlookers. While members of the crowd cheered, jeered and took videos on their phones, the men were shot at point-blank range.
Just hours earlier, a dispatch had come from Ottawa: Canada was officially recognizing a Palestinian state.
Canada may face ‘punitive measures’ for recognizing Palestinian state: U.S. Republicans
OTTAWA — A group of U.S. Republicans warned Prime Minister Mark Carney and allied nations on Friday that recognizing the Palestinian state may invite “punitive measures in response” for being “at odds” with longstanding U.S. foreign policy.
In an open letter, 25 Republican members of Congress and Senators called on Carney to “reconsider” his government’s decision. Carney formally recognized the Palestinian state on Sunday, ahead of his arrival in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.

Carney recognizes Palestinian state
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada’s formal recognition of a Palestinian state on Sunday, just ahead of his arrival in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.
Carney said in a statement that the Netanyahu government’s expansionist policies forced him to reverse Canada’s longstanding policy of waiting for a two-state solution to be achieved via a negotiated settlement.
“The current Israeli government is working methodically to prevent the prospect of a Palestinian state from ever being established … It is in this context that Canada recognises the State of Palestine and offers our partnership in building the promise of a peaceful future for both the State of Palestine and the State of Israel,” wrote Carney.

Carney Secures Islamist Vote Bloc: Canada recognizes State of Palestine, offers help to build peaceful future with Israel
Canada now officially recognizes the State of Palestine and is doing so with international partners to preserve the prospect of a two-state solution, according to a statement from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office released Sunday morning.
“Over many decades, Canada’s commitment to [a two-state solution] was premised on the expectation that this outcome would eventually be achieved as part of a negotiated settlement,” the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said.
However, that possibility “has been steadily and gravely eroded” by several developments, including the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel, the Israeli parliament’s resolution supporting annexation of the occupied West Bank and the Israeli government’s restrictions on humanitarian aid.
Since 1947, Canada has supported a two-state solution – Palestine and Israel living side by side in peace and security. Today, Canada recognises the State of Palestine and offers our partnership in building the promise of lasting peace in the Middle East. https://t.co/wyORqCiyib

Carney and the LPC will do anything for the Muslim vote.
I wonder how the Trump administration will take this?

Canada’s recognition of Palestine will be a ‘step-by-step process,’ Anita Anand says
OTTAWA—Canada will recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations later this month, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says, but will hold off fully normalizing diplomatic relations until there is real democratic progress from the Palestinian Authority.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada’s intention to recognize a Palestinian state in July, on the conditions that the Palestinian Authority commit to governance reforms, hold general elections in 2026 and demilitarize. He also said Hamas cannot be part of any future Palestinian government.
The Palestinian Authority, which controls the government in the West Bank, has promised elections but no dates have been set, and it has not yet met any of the other conditions.
Heartening to see the adults in the room are easing into their embrace of a murder cult.
There Goes The West
President Donald Trump has told Canada that if it recognizes Palestine as a state, it’s jeopardizing a trade pact with the U.S. The threat is more than leverage for talks. It’s a reminder that the West is giving up on civilization and needs to be rousted from its slumber.
“Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine,” Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social. “That will make it very hard for us to make a trade deal with them.”
Here We Go Again – The West’s Palestinian State Fantasy
A majority of Western leaders clearly refuse to exercise integrity when it concerns the Palestinian issue. Only leaders completely sold out to extremist ideologies would persist in pushing a proposal so far detached from reality and so harmful to many people — starting with the atrociously governed Palestinians — that it is almost beyond comprehension. Perhaps this phenomena is best described as a “cognitive bias” that can “lead to a person interpreting all new information as supporting their preconception.”
Miss Universe adds a ‘Miss Palestine’ category
Recognition of Palestine as a state has become popular among some members of the United Nations. French president Macron and others like him should be aware that a state is more than a wish your heart makes. An analogy to the Palestinian State scheme is Rumpelstiltskin spinning gold from straw.
Trump on Canadian Tariffs and Carney’s Policy Toward ‘Palestine’
President Donald Trump has just made clear that there will be consequences for those countries that now propose to recognize a “Palestinian” state. He has said that it will be difficult to make a deal on reducing tariffs on Canadian goods after Prime Minister Mark Carney said that Canada would at the UN General Assembly meeting in September announce its support for a “Palestinian” state.

GOLDSTEIN: A Palestinian state won’t lead to peace in the Mideast
The latest call for the creation of a Palestinian state by Prime Minister Mark Carney and the leaders of many other countries is a classic example of politicians believing they have to say something and this is something.
The political fraud inherent in this call, however, is the implication that creating a Palestinian state will end the suffering of the Palestinians and ensure Israel’s security.
Richard Robertson: Carney’s Palestine recognition a foreign policy blunder
Last week, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state in September. This would be a dangerous, highly premature decision — and a foreign policy blunder that could embarrass Canada while compounding the crisis in the Middle East instead of bringing Israelis and Palestinians anywhere closer to a lasting peace.
If it means winning the Muslim-Left vote bloc then Carney is happy.
Canada’s reputation was destroyed under Trudeau’s reign.
There are no eggs left to break so Carney may as well go along to get along with whoever he might strike a deal with.
Carney’s shift on Palestinian statehood would not have happened as quickly under Trudeau, insiders say
Just over a year ago, the Liberal caucus was in turmoil over the government’s responses to the war between Israel and Hamas. Factions broke publicly with then-prime minister Justin Trudeau and one MP even threatened to quit.
But the reaction has been far more tempered to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s announcement Wednesday that Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state this fall, a major shift in government policy.
Insiders say that’s a reflection of the current scale of the crisis in Gaza, but also a different prime minister at a different political time.
