The memo shows the incoming Trudeau government coming to terms with a "geopolitically significant" development in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, said Kamran Bokhari of the University of Ottawa's Security and Policy Institute.
"It's a pretty sharp contrast with the position of the Harper government, which was very much anti-Hamas and very much pro-Israel," said Bokhari, who is also a fellow with George Washington University's Program on Extremism at the Center for Cyber and Homeland Security.
The memo reflects the "ideological divide" as well as a geographical one that characterizes the current state of the Palestinian people, he said; they are separated in two unconnected territories — the West Bank and Gaza — and controlled by two separate entities — the Palestinian Authority and Hamas.
All you foolish Jews who took Justin Trudeau at his word when he said, pre-election, that the Liberal's support for Israel was unwavering--you own this one.
As an aside, I read this story, which was headlined "Memo backs truce with Hamas," in my paper copy of the National Post. When I tried to find a link to it online, the NatPo site Search Results came back with: "Did you mean: Memo backs truce with hams?"
Well, no, I didn't.
Then again, in the sense that the Liberals' plans to act as "honest broker" between Israel and Hamas, a jihadi terror racket bent on the Jewish state's destruction, is decidedly un-kosher, maybe I did.
