A review of statements by our politicians during previous Israel-Hamas conflicts shows they follow one steadfast script: 'We stand with Israel,' writes Bhagwant Sandhu.
OTTAWA – There is a working assumption in policy analysis that reactions to international events are anchored in domestic political calculations. The assumption is worth testing for the Israel-Hamas conflict. Canadian politicians are categorical about who they support. It is Israel. This could be because of the brutality of the Hamas attack on Israeli civilians.
They have an eschatological goal to safeguard Israel in a belief that the second coming of Jesus will occur in Jerusalem, but only if it is controlled by the Jews. Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis leads the Canadian Parliamentary Israel Allies Caucus, which seeks to create “an undivided Jerusalem,” as the “eternal capital” of Israel. To placate the evangelicals, the Conservatives plan to move the Canadian embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Poilievre has no choice but to side with Israel.
