"By adopting such a one-sided and irresponsible motion, the House has expressed an appalling degree of disregard for Israel's right to defend itself," said David Granovsky of B'nai Brith Canada

How? Israel is still free to defend itself. Canada just won’t be providing it with the weapons to do so, and this is in direct response to how Israel has used all the weapons previously supplied by Canada.

You don’t defend yourself from Hamas in Gaza by shooting children in the West Bank.
