I believe Trudeau’s original statement was to reporters in response to a question specifically framing the attack as having possibly come from Israel. I tried looking for the source on that, I believe I read it in the Toronto Star as a correction at the end of an early article, but when looking again I couldn’t find it, so I assume more updated articles have taken its place.
I don’t see an issue with that statement if it’s responding specifically to a leading question indicating that Israel did it. Fair and measured given the circumstances, no editorializing.
It is a bit funny watching a few of the select people who believed (and at least one who still mentions it the since debunked) the baby beheading story wag a finger about anyone who believed it, though. Crazy to think that a believable story was believed. Absolute monsters.
