In a stunning capitulation to New World Order progressivism, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on September 21 that Canada would formally recognize Palestinian statehood, joining the UK, Australia, and others in a coordinated diplomatic maneuver at the UN General Assembly.
Carney's statement framed the move as a bulwark for a two-state solution, conditioned on Palestinian Authority reforms and Hamas's exclusion from governance. Yet this gesture reeks of naivety—or worse, complicity—in the face of terrorism.
Hamas, the Islamist militants who govern Gaza, remains a designated terrorist organization by Canada, the US, EU, and others. Their October 7, 2023, massacre—killing 1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians, in a barbaric assault on southern communities—ignited the war. Over 250 hostages were taken; 50 remain captive, including Americans. Subsequent attacks, including a September 8, 2025, bus shooting in East Jerusalem that killed six Israelis, underscore Hamas's unrelenting passion for killing Jews.
Total deaths in the Israel-Hamas conflict since October 2023 exceed 68,000: 66,054 Palestinians (primarily in Gaza) and 1,983 Israelis, per Gaza Health Ministry and Israeli figures verified by UN agencies. Gaza's toll—over 60,000, with nearly a third children—stems from Israel's defensive operations against Hamas's embedded forces, but the scale of civilian suffering is undeniable.
Independent analyses, including a Lancet study, estimate traumatic injuries alone at 64,260 by mid-2024, with totals likely surpassing 70,000 by October. A Guardian probe of IDF data reveals 83% civilian fatalities in Gaza strikes through May 2025, a ratio rivaling history's darkest conflicts.
Carney's recognition, however, legitimizes a "state" intertwined with Hamas's grip on Gaza, where the group allegedly diverts aid for rockets and tunnels. Israel's embassy in Ottawa decried it as a "reward for Hamas," bypassing direct negotiations.
With Canada pledging intensified support for Palestinian reforms—potentially funnelling funds into unstable territories—this risks indirect sponsorship of terror. Is Canada now a de facto enabler? The optics are bad.
Despite the October 7 atrocities—families slaughtered at a music festival, kibbutzim turned into killing fields—the slaughter of tens of thousands of Gaza women and children demands moral reckoning.
Carney's choice ignores this asymmetry, eroding Canada's principled stand on security and human rights. Peace requires Hamas's dismantlement, not diplomatic shortcuts that embolden extremists. Carney must reverse course—or own the bloodshed it invites.
