The Algemeiner picked up quickly on the pushback from critics, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, the left-wing Liberal who took over from Conservative Stephen Harper (of blessed memory) a few months ago, published his statement on international Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Startlingly, Trudeau put out a Holocaust remembrance statement that made no reference whatsoever to Jews or anti-Semitism.
Canadians flooded social media to express their disgust.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
@CIJNewsEN @stephen_taylor Once again I'm ashamed & embarrassed to have this silver spooned trust fund baby as our PM. #onlygonnagetworse

No mention of Six Million Jews murdered by the Nazis. Also interesting to note no reference to antisemitism sweeping Europe and the Islamist world.

As a number of his energetic critics noted, Trudeau seemed to be channeling Ayatollah Khamenei, who enlivened the Holocaust Remembrance with a video expressing doubts about whether it ever happened, and excoriating Jews, Israel, and all who support them.
@CIJNewsEN @stephen_taylor Sadly PM JT is more interest in "Friending" Iran his new "BFF" who still wants the eradication of Israel. #Shame

Some detect a “closet Muslim” at work.

Canadians haven’t been appeased by the implication that Trudeau, making the social circuit in Davos recently, has had better things to do.
Who needs to meet boring old @DeptofDefense & the anti-ISIS coalition? Not Trudeau. He's got selfies to take! pic.twitter.com/dPwaUZEeJ0

In fact, some of them aren’t high on Trudeau at all.
@ezralevant @RRabenda @DeptofDefense Try to stay positive people, selfie deaths are on the rise.

Which, as we have pointed out to your before, is true.
