Rep. Angie Craig: "I am ashamed to say that the president responded to these acts of bravery by our neighbours to the north by blaming them for the wildfires and lashing out and increasing tariffs on them. Today, I will say what he should have said to our Canadian neighbours. Thank you."

The reason the world is upset with Israel is because of the 700,000+ innocent Palestinians they’ve murdered.
It’s not because they’re Jewish. Hope that helps.
