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 wished they did something before the death toll rose above 50,000; Because to those people they did nothing.
Well they actually did something to those people: A couple of months ago Canada was still Arming the genocidal army.
And i think we should never forget that. Ever. The UN special comnittee already found Israel’s methods of war consistent with genocide last year. If Canada really wants to do something about this. (And by “Canada” i mean it’s people and it’s government.) They should seek putting everyone complicit on selling arms to Israel on trial for crimes against humanity.
