It is unconscionable that Canadian taxpayers are being forced to pay $10,000,000 to the Jew-hating Palestinian Authority for work toward so-called Palestinian statehood. “Canada pledges $30M in Gaza aid, $10M for Palestinian Authority work toward statehood,” by Dylan Robertson, Canadian Press, July 28, 2025:
While Canada is not joining France in recognizing a Palestinian state, it is funding the Palestinian Authority’s preparations to lead a globally recognized country that includes Gaza and the West Bank.
Ottawa is also adding $30 million to its humanitarian funding for desperate Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
“The Palestinian question is at the heart of any hope for long-term stability in the Middle East,” Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand told a major United Nations conference on Monday in New York.
“A workable Palestinian state needs legitimate, democratic governance that serves all Palestinian people.”…
The Palestinians do not want a two-state solution, but a one-state solution, that is, the obliteration of Israel, as the Palestinian National Charter indicates. Article 19 says that “the establishment of the state of Israel are entirely illegal, regardless of the passage of time,” and Article 22 also states that “the liberation of Palestine will destroy the Zionist and imperialist presence.”
Five months ago, Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas stated at a Fatah Revolutionary Council Session: “We will not stop the payments to the prisoners and the martyrs’ families.” The PA, in its ongoing quest for legitimacy, keeps deceiving the world in saying it would stop its multimillion-dollar pay-for-slay program against Israeli Jews, but it really hasn’t stopped this program at all.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation already recognizes a “State of Palestine,” as does the UN, so why would Canada give $10,000,000 to help the PA work toward statehood? And what borders is Canada supporting, and funding, for this new state?
Canada’s giving taxpayer money is worse than France’s recognizing Palestinian statehood. The PA is no different from Hamas in its goal of destroying Israel (from the River to the Sea).
Meanwhile, in the UK, Keir Starmer is also using recognition of Palestinian statehood as a means to strong-arm Israel:
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Tuesday the U.K. will recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza, allows the UN to bring in aid and takes other steps toward long-term peace.
Canada’s move to send $10,000,000 does not achieve what Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand hopes for: i.e., “long-term stability in the Middle East.” It achieves the opposite, by pouring more money into jihadist coffers. As for the $30,000,000 pledge for Gaza humanitarian relief, given the corruption in Gaza, Canadians have no assurance about where their tax dollars are going. Right now, even the White House can’t provide details about aid distribution in Gaza.
Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. has given $60 million to help.
“That’s a lot of money for food, a lot of money that can take care of people for a long time,” he told reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday as he returned from Scotland. “And we want to make sure it’s going to be — it’s being spent properly. And part of the spending is the distribution.”
Yet the Liberals rushed ahead without assurances. |
