Vastly Misplaced "Trust"

"We trust [Trudeau] will urge the emir [His Highness Sheikh Tamin bin Hamad Al Thani] to end his support for Hamas, the root cause of the conflict and a major barrier to a two-state solution."

"Qatari-backing sustains Hamas, and without it, the group would cease to be a force."

Shimon Koffle Fogel, president/CEO, Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs

"I hope the prime minister will use the meeting as an opportunity to reaffirm his support for Israel and reiterate his condemnation of Hamas."

"[Qatar's] passive  support of Hamas [is an impediment to lasting peace in the Middle East."

Richard Robertson, director of research and advocacy, B'nai Brith Canada

"I look forward to welcoming His Highness the Emir of Qatar on his first visit to Canada."

"Our two countries are important partners, and together we will strengthen our ties and create opportunities for our peoples."

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

Surely the heads of these two Jewish groups are being facetious in their recommendation that Justin Trudeau make overtures to the major funder of the Hamas terrorist group to defund them. Qatar and Iran are in league, with both cherishing the formation of Islamist terrorist groups to challenge Israel's existence in the Middle East. Fact is, to appease Hamas and hope it would moderate its bloodthirsty goal to destroy Israel and slaughter Jews everywhere, Israel itself played the game of helping Qatar distribute millions in support of Hamas.

Hamas is an unchangeable blood-lusting jackal. The Islamic Republic of Iran has long since taken Hamas, Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad under its tender wing, the Al Quds division of the IRGC decades ago convincing the Palestinians who settled in Lebanon, drawing the contempt of most Lebanese by provoking Israel through cross-border raids from Lebanon into Israel, that with some military training and induction into the use of rockets and suicide bombers they could become a force to be reckoned with, rather than a despised minority group.

Their initial introduction to the world saw an event where two Hezbollah suicide truck drivers plowed into the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, 40 years ago, there on a peacekeeping mission, killing 142 American servicemen on its debut mission to confront and destroy American power in the Middle East, along with French peacekeepers and diplomats, also targeted. Both Iran and Qatar are deeply invested in the success of their terrorist hordes, dispatched at times to infiltrate internationally.

Trudeau's mincing ingenuity only betrays his fascination with strongmen and dictators, their powers and place on the world stage. He has an unfortunate habit of truckling to these types in his obsequious manner which undercuts his statements of partnership with Qatar, a world-class supporter and funder of terrorism whose unsavoury links to mass murderers any decent leader of a Western world should be ashamed of catering to. After all, both Hamas and Hezbollah rank high on Canada's official terrorism list.

"Qatar is one of Hamas's key financial and political backers."

"Under Canadian law, providing such support to a listed error group is a criminal act."

"And yet the emir is going to be warmly received in Ottawa?"

"[Obviously Trudeau fails to recognize the scourge of terrorism seriously, in his eagerness to roll out the red carpet in welcome of the emir's presence]."

Qatar, needless to say, makes its own version of the Middle East news from the jaundiced perspective of the terror-loving support it represents. The regional media giant Al Jazeera is seen everywhere, with its canted, anti-Israel perspective and news production. Israel had finally recognized its malign presence in its reporting of the Israel-Hamas conflict echoing the pungent Hamas propaganda and circulating it worldwide.

For shame, Justin Trudeau, he of the 'post-national', Hamas-supporting, Critical Race Theory Canada, an assault on all the values of a decent nation that chooses its alliances wisely.
