Montreal, June 13, 2025 — Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) is urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to forcefully condemn Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iran, and to do everything possible to de-escalate and prevent further bloodshed. CJPME argues that Israel’s attack on Iranian cities is an illegal act of aggression, not self-defense, and must be viewed in the context of its expansionist goals. CJPME further warns that Canada’s unwillingness to confront Israeli aggression gravely undermines the safety of everyone in the region.
Carney’s response was brutal. He totally gave up on the whole international law and territorial integrity thing. Israel’s foreign minister just mocked us publicly a week ago and already Carney is compromising his expressed values to take their side in an illegal attack. It’s pretty pathetic. Kills my confidence in him that any of the Canadian sovereignty rhetoric is more than just that.
