Shameful PM of the Day - October 3

Mark J Carney – Shameful PM of the Day. Imagine this – here’s what Carney wrote about Trump’s plan for Gaza.

Canada welcomes President Trump's historic new Middle East peace plan, and we urge all parties to help it realise its full potential.

As the critical next step, Hamas must immediately release all hostages.

Carney's eagerness to lick Trump's boots has never been more transparently obvious.

So, what is Mark Carney’s record on Gaza?

No arms embargo.

No economic sanctions.

No adherence or support for international law
.
Allowing Israel to hold all Palestinians in Gaza hostage in exchange for ‘recognition’ of Palestine.

Support for the ‘Trump’ plan for Gaza.  A plan developed by Netanyahu and Trump, to be led by Tony Blair and Donald Trump and designed to enrich Trump and cronies.  A plan the UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine has characterized as ‘The Trap of the Century’

A call for the 20 Israeli hostages to be released immediately with no mention of the thousands of Palestinian hostages – men, women and children.  That’s right.  Children. -  held in Israeli prisons without charges or due process.

Rightful condemnation of the attack on the Manchester synagogue, but no mention of the sniper attack on Marwan Abdeen, a nurse at the Yassar Medical Complex in Gaza.
 
Are we surprised that Mark wasn’t able to take a few minutes and a few steps from his office to join people from across Canada to honour and remember some of the children murdered in Gaza by saying their names aloud?  The degree to which Carney takes immoral and unprincipled positions on Palestine shocks and shames me more than it surprises me.  So, refusing to Say Their Names doesn’t even make the long list of Carney’s shameful acts.
