but if atwin – who has a long history of anti-israeli, pro-palestinian activism – gets her way, immigration canada will “greatly reduce applicants’ personal detail requirements, including granular health information, social media accounts and other onerous documentation.”
merely searching applicants’ social media postings could turn up anyone who supports violence against israel or other western targets. but atwin thinks even that is too onerous.
remember that the butchery of ordinary israelis last oct. 7 – the hacking apart of bodies, the slaughter of babies in front of their parents (and parents in front of their children), the burnings alive, the beheadings, plus the rape, torture and kidnapping of 1,200 civilians by hamas death squads – had widespread support from ordinary gazans.
do we really want to risk importing such violent hatred into canada by letting down our guard on security screening for gaza refugees?
atwin also wants to remove the cap of 5,000 gazan refugees and admit however many want to immigrate here.
the efficiency of the immigration department’s security screening is already suspect.
at the end of last month, the rcmp arrested two men in a north toronto hotel who appeared about to unleash a terror attack on canadian targets.
