Jewish community voices concern: 'Canada is becoming more hostile toward us by the day'
What kind of a shitty excuse for a human thinks war crime investigations are "hostility"?

Zionists.
Maybe don't support genocide, or you know why not just move to Israel. No need for hostility of Israel Nazis living comfortable in peaceful lands.
Nazis crying they are being accused of the war crimes they are doing.
Shh, calling genocidal right wing extremists "nazis" makes the genocidal right wing extremists (ie. nazis) angry
Well first they came for the war criminals and no one spoke up.
The move has triggered concern and controversy within Canada’s Jewish and Israeli communities.
They're concerned that some Canadians may have committed war crimes, right?
Jewish communities are not monolithic. This, like the genocide itself, is a wedge issue. People are being forced to confront the reality and scope of these past 20 months, and the occupation writ large.
Let justice be swift and certain.
A third said it’s causing Israeli families to reconsider sending their children to serve in Israel as lone soldiers
It's already working as intended! I'm glad to see that there is accountability for Canadians who go out of their way to participate in war crimes and crimes against humanity
Killing children, hospital patients, doctors, humanitarian aid workers, journalists and people who are just trying not to starve in Gaza are not behaviours we can tolerate as Canadians, so we should investigate if our dual-citizens took part in it. If not, then it's fine.
Another small but positive step. Keep going, Canada. There are many more steps to take to get on the right side of this.
I wonder if this is why I have been seeing all about the Canadian war crimes back in WWII. That took off like a tinder box.
Poison the well before this report is completed
Some people have been thinking it'll deter the Americans from invading.
I mean, I have doubts on that.
Kinda. We've been hearing about our WW2 misdeeds quite a bit. There is probably multiple reasons, none good, as the narrative seems to be "Canadians aren't good".
Does being Israeli or Jewish make you immune from investigation or prosecution for anything now? Is that what these people think?
According to them, anytime they don't get exactly what they want it's persecution on their faith so...
YEAH!!! Finally!!!
Lol fuck around and find out
The "concerns" are ridiculous. Anyone not involved in war crimes has absolutely nothing to fear.
That's seriously cool but we all know that they just use them as scapegoat while true top war criminals ruling israel are safe from all acountablity
Scapegoat? Canada has no jurisdiction in Israel, they can only deal with Canadians and that is what they do.
canada.can impose sanctions on israel government you know and stop lying about not helping israel
We 🇨🇦 have a terrible history of being inhumane in war. We don't want to be culpable in MORE barbarism. If Canadians who served in the IDF did NOT commit atrocious acts like murdering babies, pregnant women, and aid workers, they have nothing to worry about. Being a particular religion/ethnicity does not exempt someone from being investigated. It is not racist/bigoted/anti-semitic.
