Canada Cannot Afford a Prime Minister Praised by Hamas

When Terrorists Praise a Leader, the World Should Be Alarmed.

I never thought I would witness such a disgrace in my beloved Canada.

This country, once a beacon of dignity and human rights, now finds itself in the grotesque position of being applauded—not by allies of peace or champions of democracy—but by Hamas, a terrorist organization responsible for one of the most horrific massacres of the 21st century.

Mark Carney, the newly installed Prime Minister—whose rise to power many Canadians, myself included, view as the product of a rigged and hollow political process—has not even settled into office, and already his words and positions have earned praise from murderers.

Let that sink in: a Canadian leader praised by the same group that raped women, burned families alive, and butchered babies in their cribs.

This is not a matter of left or right. This is a matter of right and wrong.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas didn’t attack a military base. They didn’t confront combatants. They stormed into Israel with one intention: to slaughter civilians in the most barbaric ways imaginable. Young people dancing at the Nova music festival were gunned down in cold blood. Women were dragged into Gaza, bloodied, screaming, broken. Children were executed. Elderly Holocaust survivors were taken hostage. Babies were burned.

And now Hamas is celebrating a Canadian Prime Minister?

This should make every decent Canadian recoil in horror. But instead of outrage, we get silence—or worse, morally hollow statements that seek “balance” between murderer and victim.

So I ask Mr. Carney: Where is your moral compass? Do you understand what kind of darkness you are being embraced by? Do you understand that when Hamas applauds you, they are telling the world that you have emboldened them?

Do you even care?

And I ask the same of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, who’ve joined Carney in condemning Israel with more force than they’ve ever condemned Hamas: If your own people were raped and slaughtered in their homes by foreign terrorists, would you respond with lectures about proportionality? Would you warn your own citizens not to fight back too hard?

This is not diplomacy. This is not humanitarianism. This is a grotesque betrayal of truth and justice.

Let me ask a painful question: If Hitler were alive today, would you be writing carefully worded statements condemning the Jews for defending themselves and showing “understanding” for the Nazi cause? Because that is what your behaviour suggests.

As someone who survived Islamist tyranny—who endured the torture chambers of Iran’s Evin prison as a teenager simply for refusing to submit—I know exactly what happens when the free world appeases evil. I have seen what happens when political elites try to “understand” terrorists instead of stopping them.

Mr. Carney, being praised by Hamas is not a mark of leadership—it is a stain on your soul. And if you are not disturbed by that, then you are not qualified to lead this nation.

Canadians deserve a leader with moral courage—not one who hesitates to name evil for what it is. Your silence is not neutrality. It is complicity.

I challenge you: Look into the eyes of the survivors of October 7. Speak to the families of those slaughtered while dancing under the stars. Tell them, face to face, that you still believe their grief must be weighed “evenly” against the murderers who destroyed their lives.

You won’t do it—because deep down, you know how wrong this is.

And to the people of Canada, Britain, and France: you must demand more from your leaders. Do not let them confuse cowardice for compassion, or appeasement for peace.

We cannot survive in a world where terrorists win the war of narrative—where the murderers are given microphones and the victims are told to be quiet.

We must remember who we are. We must remember who the enemy is. And we must never again let a terrorist group speak for us—or worse, speak through us.

Mark Carney may have won the title of Prime Minister, but he has lost the moral right to represent the people of Canada—a people who still understand the difference between right and wrong, even if their leaders no longer do.
