Canada "carefully" reviewing South Africa's "genocidal intent" claim against Israel at ICJ

Asked on Thursday about Canada's stance on South Africa's International Court of Justice (ICJ) filing accusing Israel of "genocidal intent" in its Gaza military campaign, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Canada is "aware" of the filing and "carefully" reviewing the case.

Silence equals complicity. I have heard all my life about how Canada promotes fairness, equality and was always a champion of human rights. The time has come for Canada to step up or shut up. The result of the ICJ case is a very important milestone of the so called morality of the West, our politicians should make this decision based on facts, what is just and not according to what we think our friends want to hear. Im Canadian by the way. 🇨🇦

This is a responsible answer.

That's like saying that Canada doesn't want peace if they are responding to a terrorist attack. Israel wants peace, but everytime they think they're getting some the neighbors decide to drop by for a visit. What do you expect Israel to do? Agree with the Hamas charter and die? Maybe they should move to the States, I hear Harverd and MIT would love to welcome them. Or should Israelis just move to Europe? How about the middle east? I think there are two Jews left in Iran that will be able to welcome them. Honestly, after 2000 years of being persecuted, what do you expect them to do?
