“Antisemitic mobs take to the street shouting, ‘From Palestine to Lebanon, Israel will soon be gone.’ … Will the government clearly and unequivocally condemn these genocidal chants from hateful mobs on our streets?”

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre asked this question of Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly in the House of Commons on Oct. 7, the first anniversary of the most heinous attack on Jews since the Holocaust. On that day, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, raped and murdered around 1,200 people and kidnapped over 250. Ever since, they have been busy spreading antisemitism, including on the streets of Canada.
