How many Jews does Canada have, because if its more than 50,220, then I guess we know why Canada doesn't want to agree with the genocide claim.

Please don't conflate Jews with Zionism.

Are you implying that all Jews homogeneously support Netanyahu and the rabid zionists backing him?

That sounds quite anti-Semitic.

Nope, not at all. I'm implying that which ever base has more potential votes for current politicians is how the government will react to world events.

It's not the case, but it's very much how world governments are seeing it.

Canada has been trying to expand Arab and Iranian immigration. There are currently also 200 thousand Iranian Canadians in the country.
