‘A Gift By The Jewish State To Humanity’: Poilievre Endorses Israel Striking Iran’s Nuclear Sites

Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and the likely candidate to replace leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, pulled no punches in his answer when asked if he endorsed Israel hitting Iran’s nuclear sites in response to Iran’s recent ballistic missile attack on Israel.

A reporter asked Poilievre, “Yesterday you said that you endorse Israel proactively defending itself by hitting Iran’s nuclear sites, which is something President Joe Biden does not endorse. Do you not feel that this could lead to a likelihood of an all-out conventional war between Iran and Israel, and do you not agree with Joe Biden and his assessment?”

“I think the idea of allowing a genocidal, theocratic, unstable dictatorship — that is desperate to avoid being overthrown by its own people — to develop nuclear weapons, is about the most dangerous and irresponsible thing that the world could ever allow,” Poilievre replied. “ And if Israel were to stop that genocidal, theocratic, unstable government from acquiring nuclear weapons, it would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.”

“Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are poised to win a massive majority government,” CBC News reported on Monday. CBC News’ Poll Tracker said polls showed Poilievre’s Conservatives getting 42.8% while Trudeau’s Liberal Party only won 22.8%. The Poll Tracker showed that Conservatives would win a massive 220 seats in the 343-seat Canadian Parliament. The 45th Canadian federal election will be held on or before October 20, 2025.

In June, Poilievre targeted Trudeau, accusing him of dividing the Canadian people in order to distract them and asking Trudeau if he would join Poilievre in calling for shutting down “Hamas-inspired hate camps at university campuses.”

“This prime minister divides to distract,” Poilievre stated. “He turns groups against each other; he fans the flames. He gave funds to an anti-Semitic Holocaust denier. And so, even before October 7, hate crimes were up 162%. And since, we’ve seen the rise of Hamas-inspired hate camps at university campuses that intimidate Jewish students and promote genocide. Will the Prime Minister summon the courage to join with me and call for these hate camps to be shut down and closed up so that students can safely go back to school?”

Conversely, two weeks after the October 7 Hamas massacre of more than 1200 Israelis, Trudeau asserted his government was “here” for Palestinian, Arab, and black Muslim communities.

“As members of the Palestinian, Arab, and Black Muslim communities gathered for prayer yesterday, I wanted them to know this: We know you’re worried and hurting. We’re here for you. We will not stop advocating for civilians to be protected and for international law to be upheld,” he declared.

Trudeau has a history of siding with Palestinian terrorists over Israel. In May 2018, Hamas in Gaza organized protests in which they had a multitude of their members demonstrating at the border in order to initiate conflict with Israel, likely so that Hamas members could ultimately infiltrate Israel and implement terrorist attacks. Hamas later admitted that 50 of the 62 Palestinians reported killed during the Gaza border riots were members of the Islamist terrorist group.

Trudeau issued a statement condemning Israel:

Canada deplores and is gravely concerned by the violence in the Gaza Strip that has led to a tragic loss of life and injured countless people. We are appalled that Dr. Tarek Loubani, a Canadian citizen, is among the wounded – along with so many unarmed people, including civilians, members of the media, first responders, and children … Reported use of excessive force and live ammunition is inexcusable.
