Mr. Speaker, I actually did not think it would be worse than with the last foreign minister, but we have a new foreign minister who, whether she knows it or not, is parroting Hamas talking points.
That very same terrorist organization that is listed as a terrorist organization in this country has thanked this country for its position, for a second time now. If they are thanked for a second time by a terrorist organization, we all know that they are probably on the wrong side of history. I do not know if they need to be thanked for a third time to actually get it, but we have gone from “free Palestine” chants to full-blown extremism in this country, just as long as it targets Jews who look a bit too complicit for comfort. Forget nuance and forget humanity. If we squint hard enough, anyone with a Hebrew name or an Israeli cousin is now a war criminal in this country. That is what the Liberals have allowed to happen in our streets.
I would like to have seen something in the throne speech on this. I know that there are many constituents in many different ridings. Maybe they do not make up the majority of the constituents in those ridings, but if anyone is scared to live in this country, to walk the streets, to wear a yarmulke, to wear a Star of David or to put a mezuzah on the door, to walk into a synagogue or to walk into a church, because there are officials in Ottawa who said the church burnings are understandable, and that is to say nothing about the Hindu temples that are desecrated in this country, I hope the Prime Minister is successful, because we cannot go on like this.
