Aid for Gaza waits at border as concerns for Islamophobia in Canada rise

As the war between Israel and Hamas enters day 14, a humanitarian crisis in Gaza is deepening as two American hostages become the first to be released by the militant group.
In Canada, concerns are rising over the war becoming the breeding ground for a rise in Islamophobia throughout the country a sentiment echoed by one local Imam.
Trucks filled with essential medicines, food supplies and specialized nutrition for children are waiting at the Rafah Gate in Egypt, the only crossing out of Gaza that is not controlled by Israel.
The humanitarian crisis has only worsened for Gaza’s 2.3 million civilians since Hamas attacked Israel two weeks ago.
On Friday, the United Nations said it was in advanced talks with all parties in the conflict to ensure an aid operation could soon be conducted in Gaza.
As the situation in Gaza grows increasingly grim, many in Canada have been voicing their support for Palestinians with rallies being held throughout the country.
The federal special representative for combatting Islamophobia is now warning against allowing the war to become a catalyst for stereotyping and violence against Muslim Canadians.
“Locally I have received many reports from members of my congregations, and different members of the community in the GTHA, of how they have been attacked. We’ve heard of people losing their jobs as a result of expressing their views and opinions.” says Ayman Taher, an Imam at Ibrahim Jame Mosque.
He is pointing to the fallout from a post made by Hamilton Centre MPP Sarah Jama, who has threatened to sue Premier Doug Ford for accusing her of anti-semitism over comments she made in support of Palestinians.
“Our Premier has been pushing, using his authority to intimidate her, prevent her from being vocal, expressing her voice. We need to take an active role in reaching out to our officials and explain to them how they’re views is hurting us locally and it’s also hurting Muslim’s globally.” says Taher.
Those who attend Hamilton’s Ibrahim Jame Mosque say that education is key in preventing the war from fueling Islamophobia here in Canada.
Speaking with reporters on Friday, Justin Trudeau reiterated the commitment to a two-state solution being reached between Israel and Palestine, but has yet to outline what Canada would like to see for Gaza.
“The world and the region needs a peaceful, safe, prosperous, Palestinian state, alongside a peaceful, prosperous, democratic, Israeli state. It’s something we have always called for, it’s something that we have continued to call for everyday,” said Trudeau.
Meanwhile, Hamas released two American hostages to the Israeli forces on Thursday.
Judith Tai Raanan and her 17-year-old daughter, Natalie Raanan are from Chicago and were visiting relatives in a Kibbutz that was attacked nearly two weeks ago.
Hamas says the release was done on Humanitarian grounds because Judith is in poor health.
The deal was brokered by negotiations between the militant group and the government of Qatar.
At this time they are the only hostages to be released among the nearly two hundred currently being held by Hamas.

[@alicewright4322]

people are afraid of spiders because they are over-generalizing the 1 % of spiders that are poison, and because they are ignoring the good work spiders do in killing disease spreading flies. same with islam or anything else. you can focus on the 1 % of people in any group that are a threat, ignore their positive contributions, and demonize them just like spiders. For our ancestors who did not have access to field guides, it probably made sense to fear spiders out of an abundance of caution. In the modern world it only makes sense to fear black widows and brown recluse spiders ( in NA), not the others. In the same way it makes sense to fear Islamic Jihad, but not all muslims.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should!!!! We are better then that! We have a crappy PM who’s making life hard for us, we as humans don’t need to make things any harder on ourselves! Just stop…..

[@deadmanprodinc]

Originally Trudeau supported the attack on Gaza taking Israels side on the right to retaliate never once stating it should not be disproportionate. He takes his lead from the US and has no courage to take his own stand. He is now saying Canada has always called for peace and that there is a need for two separate states in the region. He talks out of both sides of his mouth and because of this Canada is losing respect worldwide and the trickle down is that Canadians are being viewed in the same light.

[@coreywall1977]

I love how the focus is on Trudeau and not the actual conflict is so many of the comments... FTW

[@shakyjake213]

Oh yes let's focus on the PM instead of the issue at hand. Winner!

[@deadmanprodinc]

@@shakyjake213 What is the issue at hand then. Nothing is going to stop this war unless the world takes a stance, nothing. And cowardly leaders (our PM for one) are allowing this genocide. So, tell us, what is the issue at hand or is it just that your love for Trudeau makes you as complicit as him.

You got to be honest it also wouldn't be surprised if there are soldiers hiding inside those trucks to get inside the border to do what they ordered to do to me it won't be a surprise considering how big those trucks are and how much supplies could really be put in there and also the exact same thing with the Troopers it just made to hide the factory that take up a Troopers inside there the exact same time as supplying resources and Aid to the other country
