I don't know that it is as simplistic as that. Israel stands accused at the ICJ for genocide, while the Israeli Prime Minister is literally wanted by the ICC. The IDF is therefore directly accused of the most serious of war crimes. Serving as such an army is a huge fucking red flag.

This is more akin to having put together a list of Serbian Canadians serving in the Army of Republika Srpska during the time the Srebrenica massacre happened.

It is not for the journalists to prove anything, but this will undoubtedly be useful to entities like the Hind Rajab Foundation who are intent on prosecuting Israeli war criminals. It also puts pressure on Canadian authorities to do their job and prosecute Canadian criminals.
