Michael Higgins: Mark Carney brags about using terrorist talking points to lecture Israel Back to video

The prime minister “underscored” Canada’s support for a negotiated two-state solution; he “underlined” the imperative of de‑escalation in the region; Carney “raised” the crisis in Gaza and he “expressed concern” about the displacement of civilians in Lebanon. 

This was a lecture not a conversation.
