Related to conflict, as somebody who's served in the army, I was trained on what war crimes and crimes against humanity are and to not follow orders that are illegal according to international law. That's what we were told as soldiers. I was a soldier; I was a corporal at the end.
Now, Canada and other human rights groups, in particular B'Tselem and Breaking the Silence, have said that war crimes have been committed and crimes against humanity have occurred. The Government of Canada has cautioned and said that the prevention of humanitarian aid from entering Gaza in the past has amounted to a breach of international law.
Are we screening to ensure that those who have served in the IDF during this period in time have not been involved in any of these breaches of international law as they enter Canada? I'm talking about those who are not Canadian citizens.
