It says Canada should sanction “extremist” Israeli settlers — with no definition of what that means.
It says Canada will support the work of the International Court of Justice as it investigates Israel for genocide — a body which has never found any other country on earth directly responsible for genocide — in a conflict where Hamas has repeatedly called for the genocide of Jews.
It says Canada will ensure funding for UNRWA — the United Nations Palestinian relief agency whose members have been accused of participating in or supporting Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7, and where many UNRWA “teachers” instruct Palestinian children to hate Israel and Jews.
