Joly has not expressed adequate horror about the savage jihad group Hamas, nor about the Palestinian Authority’s “resistance” from the River to the Sea. Quite the opposite, in fact, as was depicted in her Twitter post in mid March…
Now Joly says she’s “horrified” by an “Israeli attack in Rafah.” Most “horrifying” about Rafah is that Hamas continues to hide among its civilian population. The silence about this is defeating from Joly and other Western leaders, who had claimed to be allies of Israel.
Now Canada pledges more visas for Gazans: 5000 of them.
The visas for Canadians’ relatives living in the enclave represent a five-fold increase from the 1,000 temporary resident visas allotted under a special program that Canada announced in December.
Imagine what that will do to the already soaring antisemitism in Canada.
We demand an immediate ceasefire,” Joly said, echoing global leaders who urged the implementation of a World Court order to halt Israel’s assault…
It’s no coincidence that the vast majority of leaders who are anti-Israel also happen to be leftist globalists.

The visas for Canadians’ relatives living in the enclave represent a five-fold increase from the 1,000 temporary resident visas allotted under a special program that Canada announced in December.
“While movement out of Gaza is not currently possible, the situation may change at any time. With this cap increase, we will be ready to help more people as the situation evolves,” Immigration Minister Marc Miller said.
A spokesperson for Miller said 448 Gazans had been issued a temporary visa, including 254 under a policy not related to the special visa program, and 41 have arrived in Canada so far.
An Israeli airstrike late on Sunday night triggered a fire in a tent camp in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, prompting an outcry from global leaders including from Canada.
“We are horrified by strikes that killed Palestinian civilians in Rafah,” Canada’s Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said in a statement, adding that Canada does not support an Israeli military operation in Rafah.
“This level of human suffering must come to an end. We demand an immediate ceasefire,” Joly said, echoing global leaders who urged the implementation of a World Court order to halt Israel’s assault….
