Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre pledged to deport foreign nationals in Canada involved in criminal hatemongering, particularly targeting participants in pro-Palestinian protests he accuses of fueling anti-Semitism. His announcement comes amid rising concerns over hate crimes and attacks on Jewish institutions in Canada.
Poilievre is a militant antisemite. Only an antisemite conflates Zionism with Judaism. You have to be a raging irredeemable bigot to intrinsically assign a certain ideology to an entire ethnic or religious group. You have to be the worst form of human scum to assume that someone, simply because of their ethnic heritage, is automatically associated with a foreign nation state. This is like blaming every Chinese Canadian or Chinese American for the actions of the Chinese government. This is literally the logic that lead to the US to the Japanese Internment camps of WW2. This logic says that your individuality means nothing. Your beliefs mean nothing. The sum total of your life means nothing. You are Jew. And all Jews are responsible for the actions of the government of the state of Israel. You, from the moment of your birth, are irreconcilably linked to the actions of a foreign nation. You can never really be a true American or Canadian citizen, you will always have some inherent loyalty to this foreign state.
Absolutely abominable and despicable. Anyone who holds these beliefs should do the world a favor and kill themselves. Absolute bigoted trash.
