Canada opens war crimes probe into dual Israeli-Canadian IDF soldiers (www.ynetnews.com)

Canada’s federal police have launched a criminal investigation into several IDF soldiers who also hold Canadian citizenship, on suspicion of crimes against humanity allegedly committed during their military service, Canadian media reported Tuesday.

The report, first published by the Toronto Star, marks the first time Canadian authorities have formally opened a war crimes investigation against dual Israeli-Canadian nationals. The move has triggered concern and controversy within Canada’s Jewish and Israeli communities.

According to the report, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are investigating Canadian citizens who served in the IDF, whether in active duty or as reservists, during the war in Gaza. The probe reportedly began in 2024 but remained under wraps until now. It could include evidence collection, information sharing with international bodies and potentially even indictments on Canadian soil.

I wonder if this is why I have been seeing all about the Canadian war crimes back in WWII. That took off like a tinder box.

Poison the well before this report is completed

Some people have been thinking it'll deter the Americans from invading.

I mean, I have doubts on that.

Kinda. We've been hearing about our WW2 misdeeds quite a bit. There is probably multiple reasons, none good, as the narrative seems to be "Canadians aren't good".
