O’Toole wants to follow Trump in moving the Canadian Embassy to Jerusalem. This would formally recognize Israel’s illegal annexation of occupied East Jerusalem. He calls himself a “pioneer within the party” on this issue. https://thej.ca/2020/06/07/in-erin-otoole-a-familiar-and-firm-pro-israel-voice/
O’Toole wants to restore ties and “win some trust” with Saudi Arabia, a brutal regime which is carrying out a devastating war in Yemen. If anything, Canada should be cancelling its arms contracts, not increasing them. #StopArmingSaudi https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/conservative-saudi-arabia-1.5234253
O’Toole wants to stop funding the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), which he has demonized as “terrorist” supporters. https://erinotoole.ca/platform/foreign-policy/
O’Toole opposed an investigation after Israel killed dozens of protestors in Gaza and shot Canadian doctor Tarek Loubani in 2018 (Israel would go on to kill >200 and injure >36,000) https://ipolitics.ca/2018/05/23/no-need-for-inquiry-into-gaza-violence-tory-mp-says/
O’Toole opposed Canada’s single vote for Palestinian self-determination at the UN in 2019, calling it “Israel-bashing.” https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thehouse/chrystia-freeland-and-the-fate-of-the-federation-1.5368943/conservative-critic-accuses-liberals-of-deploying-childish-diplomacy-at-the-un-1.5368953
O’Toole voted to condemn the nonviolent boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement in 2016, and slandered Canadians who boycott Israel as antisemites. https://erinotoolemp.com/2016/02/18/business-of-supply-41/; https://erinotoolemp.com/2016/02/18/business-of-supply-40/
Oh, and O’Toole spoke at the AIPAC conference in 2019, America’s largest pro-Israel lobby group.
He’s a friend to those who fight to perpetuate Israeli oppression and Palestinian suffering. https://twitter.com/ErinOTooleMP/status/1110241636435386368
