NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is calling on the federal government to halt arms sales to Israel amid escalating violence in the region.

At a news conference today and again during question period, Singh says Canada must apply pressure to ratchet down the spiralling conflict in East Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank and to prevent more arms from being used in clashes he says breach international law.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is asking all parties to end the violence, saying rocket attacks against Israel as well as violence at an iconic mosque are "unacceptable."Yesterday, Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole put out a statement condemning rocket attacks by Hamas militants as "indiscriminately targeting civilians."

Dozens have died after Palestinian militants launched rockets from Gaza and Israel unleashed new air strikes against them this week, in an escalation triggered by soaring tensions in Jerusalem and days of clashes at the Al-Aqsa Mosque -- a site sacred to Jews and Muslims in the holy city. Government data shows Canada sent $13.7 million in military goods and technology to Israel in 2019, or 0.4 per cent of total arms exports, suggesting an embargo would have limited leverage.

But Hamas also gets arms, rockets, kills civilians.

How about maki g sure that Palestinians stop getting bombs from Hamas to threaten Israelis as well.

We are allied. with Israel and must stand firmly beside her in this her hour of greatest need. No weakkneed politicians should prevent this.

Canada should be ashamed!

BB guns?

I'm sure he wants to hand it for free for Hamas 🤢🤮

Yes let’s do that, let’s show we are divided! Moron! Solution needed? YES! Is this fools idea it? NO! Next idea? There will never be peace when both sides raise their kids to hate the other! Missiles from BOTH sides have killed civilians!

You are a war criminal you are committing crimes against humanity you will be removed from society and tried for war crimes you will be executed crimes against humanity enemies both foreign and domestic

Actually, we should send them much more!

One way to stop the conflict is to control arms to the parties but this can only work if Iran stops supplying rockets to Hamas. Another way is for politicians like you to convince Hamas to work towards a political solution for its people!

I know one thing Canada is heading into a recession and it will take years to recover!

So, the NDP platform is that it supports Iran’s right to promote terrorism and to attack other nations by proxy but not Israel’s right to self-defence? Does Mr Singh have any idea what he is talking about? Apparently not.

Who da fook is this clown.

Another reason why this individual will never be a prime Minister: hus support to Hanas and Yihad , two terrorist groups

Israel is proof white ppl hate the rest of us. Why is Israel treated so special? Because they’re a white minority so other whites bend over backwards to make their BS make sense. Only white ppl support Israel and its obvious why....cause white ppl hate us!

Tik Tok guy just babbling again

So Biden becomes president and all hell breaks loose again. Things were peaceful when Trump was president ! North Korea threatening to launch missiles again , Afghanistan bombing school’s killing kids ( females ), Israel and Palestine at war, I think Syria is fired back up too .

😀my very curious thing is : Does Israel need Canadian arms? Everyone watched their Iron Dome’s show👍

ISupportIsrael

Singh hates the Jewish people so no surprise.

What? He didn't get a cut? His master Trudope snuff him out of the deals?

A signed trade deal is a signed deal... even if it was under a previous government, those contracts must be met. Reneging on trade deals would cause all countries to think twice about making deals with Canada.

When two children in tbe sandbox can’t play nice they have their toys taken away

They’ll get it somewhere else but why stop? So you could please one group of people?

Singh is a racist!!

Canadian military exports to Israel, according to government figures, amounted to $13.7 million dollars in 2019. Just shows how out of touch with reality Mr. Singh and the NDP are. We can’t supply ourselves with military equipment never mind Israel. Some grip on foreign policy!

He’s right. They should just take those rocket attacks from Palestine and not retaliate.

According to reports, Hamas has fired around 1000 missiles at Israel, what would Singh expect Israel to do ? I would expect retaliation, not with this turd

Meanwhile in India Modi is slaughtering Muslims and he has no comment.

How about we call for a 'halt' to Singh tell him to go back to Brampton.

IStandWithPalestine

Not surprised to hear this coming from NDP uninformed Leader! Please bring him up to date and nice try for votes from large Muslim population in Canada! Israel will handle its problems with the West Bank and when the West Bank gets their act together talks might happen! God Bless

this guy needs education Israel is the good guy

What an epic display of suicidal diplomacy by this man! Seriously and he is the leader of a national party. Why are you silent on China?

What else did we expect from a terrorist sympathizer? JagmeetSingh

I agree with jagmeet

Singh can F off.

Are you f'ing kidding me? Blaming Israel for the escalation of violence 🙄... It's no wonder the NDP is dropping off the political map of relevance.

We shouldn't be selling arms to alot of people, I know it makes money at home but the cost doesn't seem worth it to me, and im a lifelong NDP and worker supporter

Singh calls for halt on Cdn arm sales to Israel…. And while you’re at it did you want to talk about halting arm sales to the Saudis? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

Go to hell Singh and let the adults handle the situation.

Waaaaaaaaait a second.... Canada sells arms to other countries... and wants to buy them back from their own citizens... Something doesn't add up here. 🙄🤥🤥🤥🤥potmeetkettle kettlemeetpot

POS

Israel has gone too far this time. Its too blatant and I have been through too much shit in the last year to care about who thinks they cant be critiqued. No one is off limits right now. Israel you fvcked up

Anand reminds Canadians that Trudeau, O'Toole, Singh all received AstraZenecaIn an effort to restore public confidence in the AstraZeneca vaccine after news that Ontario is pausing the first dose of the drug amid rare blood-clotting concerns, the federal procurement minister listed off a handful of political leaders who have received the shot. NACI, Health Canada, Federal and provincial government must speak with one voice, we can’t have any more contradictions and confusions resulting to more vaccine hesitancy…just donate the AZ vax to countries which badly need them I find that hard to believe. I’m so angry and upset that we got tricked into taking AZ. I won’t be getting a second shot of any of the vaccines. Yes...indeed it is a great consolation
