The Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister qualified the move to 'cease the further authorization and transfer of arms exports to Israel,' already paused since January 8, as 'a real thing,' and not merely symbolic.

Israel has historically been a top receiver of Canadian arms exports, with CAN$21 million worth of military materiel exported to Israel in 2022, according to Radio Canada, following CAN$26 million in shipments in 2021. That places Israel among the top 10 recipients of Canadian arms exports.

    Isreal is a terrorist state now. They’ve became the thing they said they’re against.

    I support this decision but feel like it’s too late. The damage is well beyond repair.

      Israel has been a terrorist state since Germany, Britain, the US, together as the UN decided that the Palestinians should pay the price for Germany’s Holocaust of the Jewish people.

      It was going on before that even with Zionist terrorist groups bombing and killing Palestinians and even the British.
