Earlier this week, there was a sound that has become all too rare. It was a Western political leader expressing unequivocal moral clarity.
Asked about U.S. President Joe Biden’s opposition to Israel striking Iran’s nuclear facilities in defense against the Islamic regime’s attacks, Canada’s Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said: “I think the idea of allowing a genocidal, theocratic, unstable dictatorship that is desperate to avoid being overthrown by its own people to develop nuclear weapons is about the most dangerous and irresponsible thing that the world could ever allow. If Israel were to stop that genocidal, theocratic, unstable government from acquiring nuclear weapons, it would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.”
Poilievre’s remarks were as startling as finding a diamond in a garbage heap. Most political and cultural leaders in the so-called civilized world either make equivocal, two-faced expressions of support for Israel or are part of the axis of demonization trying to bring down the Jewish state through lies and blood libels.
We now live in a world in which morality has been sickeningly turned on its head. The latest example is the nomination of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for the Nobel Peace Prize, whose winner will be announced this weekend. Other favorites are reportedly the International Court of Justice and the U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres.
What do all these candidates have in common? Absolute moral bankruptcy, expressed through their attempts to destroy Israel by weaponizing libelous falsehoods, murderous bigotry, and, in the case of UNRWA, active connivance with and even membership of Hamas.
There’s copious evidence of UNWRA members in Gaza who doubled as Hamas
