Opposition to genocide is not hatred of a people, it is a principled stance against war crimes and a defence of human rights. The Carney government is escalating its support for Netanyahu's war crimes by criminalizing its own citizens' ethics. www.ijvcanada.org/tell-canada-...
Four images in sequence. First is an image of a child in a convenience store stealing a candy bar, with overlaying text that reads "If I see a child shoplift, & tell them it's wrong & not to do that, it doesnt mean that I hate children."

Second is an image of a bomb exploding in Gaza, with overlaying text which reads "When I see Israel committing genocide, & say it'sw wrong & not to do that, it doesn't mean that I hate Jewish people. What I hate is war crimes."

Third is an image of Canadian prime minister Mark Carney, with overlaying text that reads "But Mark Carney now defines any opposition to the war crimes of the Israeli government as antisemitism"

Fourth is an image of Avi Lewis, leader of Canada's federal NDP (New Democratic Party), with overlaying text that reads "even when criticism of Zionism's genocide comes from people who are themselves Jewish."
