Poilievre urges feds to list Houthis as terrorist organization in Canada

During a press conference in Toronto on Thursday, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre called upon the federal government to list Yemen’s Houthis as a terrorist organization in Canada.

“Jewish Canadians and all Canadians deserve to feel safe,” Poilievre said. “They deserve to know that they will not be targeted by terrorist groups that operate here, launder money here, finance organized crime here and foment hatred here,” he added of the Iran-affiliated group.

This comes just two days after Poilievre called for Israel to pre-emptively strike Iran's nuclear facilities, saying such an act would be “a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.”

Poilievre first voiced his support for Israel on Monday at a commemoration event in Ottawa marking the one-year anniversary of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack against Israel. The ensuing conflict in the Middle East reached a new crescendo last week, when Iran — which supports not only Houthis, but Hamas and Hezbollah fighting Israel — fired a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel, which has vowed retaliation.

So many lives were lost for Canada, and yet today, we can't even have our own flag flying alone.

I liked it better when we were known as peace keepers. Not Warhawks.

God works in mysterious ways..continue to reveal yourself before the elections😂😂

I've been a conservative for 10 years. It sucks that all the right decisions go down the drain the moment any conservative opens their mouth about Israel. No need to send billion to Ukraine, no need to send to Israel, no need to send to Gaza or anywhere else for that matter. Our seniors are shoplifting food. If that's not sad, i don't know what is.

When is P Poillivier going to start working for Canadians instead of American warmonger foreign policy

[Majin_zyzz-dmcu]

This press conference is given in Canada soil; why are we having flags other than the Canadian flag there?

First and foremost, those responsible for burning the Canadian flag should be arrested, held accountable, and charged for their disgraceful actions.

At the same time, we are witnessing a well-known country committing egregious violations against civilians, international workers, medical staff, journalists, and humanitarian aid personnel. This country has been charged with genocide by the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Canada should join nations like Belgium, Ireland, and Spain in supporting ICJ efforts to hold them accountable.

Additionally, I advise caution when dealing with officials from this country. There have been claims, including from Boris Johnson, that security officers found a bugging device in his private bathroom after it was used by their Prime Minister "Benjamin Netanyahu"

[usergreenearth]

What about the ongoing genocide committed by Isra el in countries like Palestine and Lebanon?

[jimmcconnell]

At least we know where the Conservatives stand on Israel. Won’t be voting for them.

[ummsafiyah]

Bought and paid for by AIPAC. We Canadians do not want to be dragged into your wars and pay for it using our tax dollars! We have Canadian problems at home we need to focus on.

[Aggj]

Wow 50k civilians and babies killed not terrorism and their flag on Canada's TV

[rumcoke]

Would like to see Polievere declare Israel terrorists. How can you support apartheid Pierre?

[abrahama]

Lets not forget that Netanyahu has been indicted for war crimes.

[mockchicken]

Klaus! Klaus! The puppets strings are showing.

[Ed-xvsy]

How much did AIPAC pay for these words?

[homelessguy]

I get the hate of burning Canadian flag in Canada, but this guy supporting Israel is weird they went and occupied Palestine and USA providing all the weapons and what not to have hold in middle East.
