A surprise Hamas-led attack has caught Israel off-guard, leading to hundreds of deaths and warnings of retaliation from Israel’s Prime Minister. Canada’s Prime Minister condemned the attack online, while Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was one of the first to throw his support behind Israel. However, critics say the weakening status of Canada’s military throws little weight behind these words. Traxxion Strategies President Karl Belanger and Postmedia columnist Warren Kinsella join Andrew Pinsent for this week’s Sunday Political Panel. ZeroMedia contributor Tasha Kheiriddin will return next week.
