The renowned Senior Rabbi of Kehilath Jeshurun on the Upper East Side tweeted a picture of himself holding his Canadian ID card, and wrote that he is a Canadian who is embarrassed of the Canadian government.

Rabbi Steinmetz posted the following:

I am a Canadian who is embarrassed of the Canadian government. Prime Minister Trudeau has decided to officially suspend sales of weapons to Israel and to continue to fund UNWRA, which is effectively a subcontractor of Hamas.

He continued, This policy of rewarding terrorists and punishing a democratic ally is absurd and obscene. It is particularly galling that a Prime Minister who went out of his way to court the Jewish community when he needed them has turned his back on Israel so quickly.

History will eventually tell the story of Trudeau the appeaser. And long after he exits the world stage, Israel will remain, strong and proud, a beacon of democracy in the Middle East.

Invoking a timely and appropos message from the Megillah, he concluded his tweet:

[Safety] and Salvation will stand for the Jews from a different source, and you and your fathers family will be destroyed.
