THE JEWISH CHRONICLE

A prominent Canadian rabbi has said that many Jews were deeply unhappy with the victory of Liberal leader Justin Trudeau in the country’s national election this week.

Rabbi Reuben Poupko of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), said that a “large chunk” of the almost 400,000-strong Jewish community “went to sleep very disappointed” by the ousting of Stephen Harper, who was an outspoken supporter of Israel while prime minister.

Rabbi Poupko added that a section of Jews were more willing to take Mr Trudeau at his word when he said during the 11-week campaign that he would support Israel as much as Mr Harper.

“The community will be relying on him to keep that commitment, that same level of support,” he said.

CIJA chair David Cape congratulated Mr Trudeau and thanked Mr Harper for his “deep and sustained support” of the Jewish community and Israel.

Rabbi Poupko said Jewish Liberal voters seemed unconcerned by Mr Trudeau’s campaign appearance at a mosque that was accused of donating to a Hamas-linked charity in 2009.

Mr Trudeau, son of iconic Liberal figure Pierre Elliott Trudeau, said he accepted the mosque’s explanation that at the time the charity was registered and legal under Canadian law.

The rabbi said that while most Jews cast their ballots for Tories or Liberals, all parties garnered some Jewish votes, reflecting the community’s diversity.

  1. As a Canadian I should have been paying better attention to this election. Canadian politics is very boring and just reading headlines and the occasional article was enough to know Harper was a lap dog of special interest groups and caterered to the globalists.
    I know very little about JT and wrote him off as just another puppet with his pre election comments about Putin and support for Israhell. His down sizing of military support in the ME and speaches of Canada returning to a neutral nation has raised an eye brow. I guess time will tell if he is a leader or a follower.

  2. Poor muffins… they went to sleep unhappy… but the tens on millions of us went to bed happy so… too bad! 🙂 We are Canadians not jews… and we are voting for us not for them.

  3. Poor Canadians, they are on their knees just like the German people and kissing Satanyahu’s ass and the whole criminal mafia in Israel.

  4. Isaac… it is not because a prime minister do something that the whole country is like him… and I am far from believing that we are on our knees… I know a whole lot who are not, on the contrary.

    Colin… we’ll see what will happen. We didn’t have much choice isn’t it? Just hope that JT, being young, will do something good for the country and repair the enormous amount of what we lost during those H years. I don’t know a lot about JT neither but at least H is out… this is tremendously good.

  5. #6. I apologize. forgive me for saying that all Canadians are like their government. It is like every where in the world, it is only the governments of those nations who are responsible for the atrocities they commit and for willingly be the stooges of the Zionist Mafia. sorry.

  6. Not ALL and still too many of these so-called “Jews” are the scourge of the world. I refer to the Zionist element who have by way of negative propaganda brain dirtied there own, as well as untold millions, to actually believe the falsities put forth as truth.

    What is Zionism?

    Zionism is a movement founded by Theodor Herzl in 1896 whose goal is the return of Jews to Eretz Yisrael, or Zion, the Jewish synonym for Jerusalem and the Land of Israel.

    The name of “Zionism” comes from the hill Zion, the hill on which the Temple of Jerusalem was situated.

    Supporters of this movement are called “Zionists”.

    Today there is much confusion among Jews over the meaning of the term Zionism. It means different things to different people.

    The reason for this is that historically, Zionism has been a movement dominated by secularist Jews. Herzl and most of his colleagues were assimilated Jews, who did not believe in or practice the Torah. Some Zionists were vehemently anti-religious, and saw the Torah and mitzvos as outdated rituals with no place in their modern state.

    Yet the essence of the Zionist idea – that Jews should return to the Holy Land and establish a government – is not inherently secular, and in fact the Zionist movement had some religious members from the very beginning.

    Some Jews today use Zionism as a synonym for Israeli secularism, and thus support the State of Israel while claiming to be anti-Zionist. These people’s only complaint about the State of Israel is that it is not religious enough. They hope for the day when the state will be dominated by the religious parties.

    But this is not the meaning of the term Zionism as used on this site. When we talk about Zionism here, we are refering to the concept that Jews should rise up, emancipate themselves from exile without waiting for the messiah, and establish a Jewish government in the Holy Land. Using Jewish texts, we demonstrate that this concept is against the Torah and has been opposed by rabbis in all generations.

    There have been hundreds of rabbis over the past century who spoke out against the Zionist movement. But because of the ambiguity of the term, it is not always possible to prove that a given rabbi meant to oppose the concept of Zionism, rather than just secularism. For this reason, religious Zionists often make the claim that much rabbinic opposition to Zionism was only because it was a secular movement. On the “Rabbinic Quotations” section of this site, we have avoided this confusion by carefully selecting those quotations that are clearly against the concept of Zionism itself. As the reader will see, these quotations alone are enough proof that almost all of the greatest sages and leaders of the Jewish people opposed the establishment of a Jewish state.

  7. Isaac… thank you for your apology… you are sadly right in what you are saying… When will we have governments that will really represent the people and not the big interests? This day, we will have peace on our magnificent planet…
