I have never felt more ashamed to be Canadian. In 2016, Canada had 220 thousand Lebanese-Canadians and 50 thousand Palestinian-Canadians. It feels like the complete alienation of the Arab community.

How many Jews does Canada have, because if its more than 50,220, then I guess we know why Canada doesn't want to agree with the genocide claim.

Are you implying that all Jews homogeneously support Netanyahu and the rabid zionists backing him?

That sounds quite anti-Semitic.

Nope, not at all. I'm implying that which ever base has more potential votes for current politicians is how the government will react to world events.
