Justin Trudeau scolds Canadians for ‘lashing out’ at each other over Israel-Hamas war
The prime minister was responding to reports of Canadians facing repercussions for their positions on the war.

“People are forgetting a little bit that we’re a country that protects the freedom of expression, that protects liberty of conscience, that respects and supports people even when we disagree with them across various points of view,” Trudeau told reporters, acknowledging Canadians’ grief and pain as the war approaches its seventh week.
“We’re a place that does diversity better than just about anywhere else. And we have to remember that just waving a Palestinian flag is not automatically antisemitism. And someone expressing grief for hostages taken is not an endorsement of dead civilians.”
The prime minister was responding to reports of Canadians facing repercussions for their positions on the war, including the recent case of a doctor who was allegedly suspended from his medical residency program at the University of Ottawa for sharing pro-Palestinian messages on social media.
Dr. Yipeng Ge’s support for Palestinian freedoms has been deemed antisemitic by some, though a petition demanding the reversal of his suspension — and an investigation into the matter due to the university’s freedom of expression policies — has gathered more than 70,000 signatures.
Trudeau said the “polarization” presently dividing the country, along with reported rises in antisemitism and Islamophobia, is hindering hopes for a “two-state solution where a free, independent, safe Palestinian state is thriving alongside a free, independent, safe Jewish state of Israel.
