The headline of the article is misleading, and I think this person said it best:
Bueckert said the language the federal government chose is "so vague that anyone can project onto it what they want to think."

Which means Bitcoin Millhouse will be practicing his attacks using this information.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
I think it's a total failure of communication," said Michael Bueckert of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME), which has called on Canada to declare its support for South Africa's case against Israel.
"Canada's unwavering support for international law and the ICJ does not mean we accept the premise of the case brought by South Africa," wrote Joly.
Marceau said he doesn't understand why the federal government took so long to state its position, and why it issued it on a Friday afternoon, when it knew the ICJ hearing was coming well in advance.
The misinterpretation also was repeated in the Washington Post, where columnist Max Boot reported that "the charge of genocide has been rejected not only by the United States but also by Canada, Britain and Germany."
"Canada is siding with Israel in its defence against allegations of genocide, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau breaking the silence over the case heard this week at the United Nations' court ICJ," she tweeted.
"I would have hoped that that the government, as a self-declared friend and ally of Israel, would have clearly come out like Germany and the U.K. did, against the politicization of the ICJ by South Africa," he said.
The original article contains 1,425 words, the summary contains 200 words. Saved 86%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Because you release news on Friday if you want people to forget about it on Monday.
Glad it's cleared up, but I think the top of the fence poked Trudeau's butt...
Oh, well said, I'm stealing this.
