The political ascension of Justin Trudeau in Canada is proof positive that international geopolitics can change on a dime, and our short-term views of Israel’s circle of friends go up in smoke.
Remember, Canada’s Stephen Harper has been a staunch friend of Israel for the better part of a decade. But only days ago, he lost an election to the suave, young Trudeau, whose father, Pierre, also led the nation decades ago. The Trudeau’s spent so much time in the tabloids for various indiscretions, it’s little wonder that Justin is very much a product of a younger generation. He is a polar opposite of Harper, and as he assumes power, everyone knows he will view the Jewish state much differently.
According to CIJ News:
“During the election campaign, Trudeau pledged to change Canada’s foreign policy by espousing a more ‘balanced’ approach in the Middle East.
“The Canadian Palestinian leadership which publicly sided with the ‘Palestinian Intifada’ (also called ‘al-Quds Intifada’ and the ‘Knife Intifada’), expressed its hope that the 10 newly-elected Liberal Muslim members of parliament succeed in their efforts to reform Canada’s foreign policy.
“Rashad Saleh, the Secretary of Fatah movement in Canada, who called his supporters to vote for Omar Alghabra, the Liberal Party’s candidate, gloated over the ‘ousting of the right-wing Conservative Party and the racist government that was more Zionist than Netanyahu’s government.’ He emphasized that ‘we have to rebuild the relations [with the government] and the Canadian – Palestinian committees in Parliament.’”
Easy prediction: Justin Trudeau will be no friend of Israel.
The new Canadian leader is much more out of the mold of his mentor to the south, and at 43, he has a lot of time to govern.
Remember, too, he has a European mindset: diplomacy and appeasement is the order of the day. And with Europe being overrun with Middle East refugees, many of them jihadist Trojan Horses, there’s little doubt Trudeau will adopt similar suicidal policies.
But he is far from alone in the Lack of Discernment Department. Young American leaders and their mentors in the religious community suffer from the same profound, astonishing lack of discernment that bedevils their political friends.
Jon Huckins, co-founder of the Global Immersion Project, tweeted this week a message that is a hallmark of too many of his peers:
“Israel's excess force on Palestinian children decried aje.io/y7vk //My heart aches. Breeding generational cycles of violence.”
Mind-numbing. As Israel struggles to stop savage murderers, Western dupes like Huckins blame…Israelis!
Excess force? Think of this: scores of Palestinians are roaming Israel, brandishing knives dipped in poison, guns, bombs. Some are using cars to ram Israelis on sidewalks.
No such attacks are perpetrated by Israelis against Palestinians.
And Huckins claims Israelis are brutalizing Palestinian children?
Is he serious?
It’s just a personal opinion, but no, I don’t think he is. I don’t think he seriously believes this inversion of truth. But it does serve the agenda he and his friends follow in demonizing the Jewish state.
His friend and mentor, Lynne Hybels, also tweeted a message this week:
“@lynnehybels moral equivalence is not wisdom. given conflicting narratives, we need to seek the truth and reject what is false.”
Sounds good, doesn’t it?
The problem is, while Hybels claims to abhor moral equivalence (for example, seeing the Palestinian “reasons” for committing acts of violence, because, after all, they suffer from Israeli violence), she always sides with the Palestinian Narrative. Hybels decries the “Occupation,” and a whole litany of alleged abuses by Israel. This includes claims of stealing water from Palestinians, home demolitions, and land confiscations.
She never—never—presents the Israeli side with any sense of fairness. Her rigid talking points, which fit like a glove with the talking points used by the PLO, teach young people a false history.
That’s why guys like Huckins go after Israel. They know they’ll suffer not an iota of danger. Much easier in the short-term to do that rather than challenge the jihadists rampaging across civilization.
A showdown is coming between Islam and The Rest of Us.
The appeasement and moral weakness of Justin Trudeau, and his friends in the political, media, and religious communities are helping that reality take shape.
