“Next Prime Minister of Canada”? Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre Says Israel Hit on Iran “A Gift by the Jewish State to Humanity”
“The next Prime Minister of Canada was asked whether he would support Israel striking Iran’s nuclear facilities. His response: “It would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.”
Poilievre casually ignores the Genocide conducted by Israel against the People of Palestine, which has resulted in more than 200,000 deaths of Palestinian children.
He presents war as a humanitarian endeavour. “Responsibility to Protect”.
He dismisses the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which defines “Complicity in Genocide” in Articles III and IV
He casually accuses Iran of Genocide.
“If Israel were to stop that genocidal, theocratic, unstable government from acquiring nuclear weapons, it would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.”
He calls for what constitutes a pre-emptive act of war by “The Jewish State” against Iran, which could lead humanity into a World War III scenario.
Lest we forget Israel is an undeclared nuclear weapons State with extensive capabilities and an estimated stockpile of up to 400 nuclear warheads, of which 200 are targeted at Iran.
Hon. Pierre Polievre, Preemptive War is not the Solution. Canadians across the land want Peace and Justice!

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on Tuesday doubled down on his call for Israel to pre-emptively strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, saying such an act would be “a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.”
Poilievre first voiced his support Monday at a commemoration event in Ottawa marking the one-year anniversary of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack against Israel. The ensuing conflict in the Middle East reached a new crescendo last week, when Iran — which supports Hamas and other proxy militant groups fighting Israel — fired a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel, which has vowed retaliation.
U.S. President Joe Biden and other world leaders have warned against striking Iran’s nuclear facilities over fears of further escalating the conflict into an all-out war between two of the region’s most well-armed nations.
Poilievre wouldn’t say if he disagrees with Biden’s assessment when asked by reporters in Ottawa on Tuesday, but reiterated his belief that striking the facilities would prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
“I think the idea of allowing a genocidal, theocratic, unstable dictatorship that is desperate to avoid being overthrown by its own people to develop nuclear weapons is about the most dangerous and irresponsible thing that the world could ever allow,” Poilievre said.
“If Israel were to stop that genocidal, theocratic, unstable government from acquiring nuclear weapons, it would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.”
