The Jewish-supremacist ideology motivating genocide has widespread support among Canada’s elites.

Nationalism (no, not "ultranationalism") is fundamentally hateful in its arbitrary assignment of an idealized group of people with a natural right to land. Zionism has been oriented around Palestinian dispossession and erasure since its emergence in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, there is no "inward-focused" element here that somehow doesn't make it an international ideological movement in Canada (which is also a genocidal, settler-colonial state with an interest in protecting Israel's right to commit genocide). There aren't any especially naughty Zionists that make the movement look bad, it is fundamentally a genocidal endeavour the same way every settler-colonial state is.

I really hope you have at least one reading on any of these topics to recommend since you're making some pretty incredible claims here that defy most historical and decolonial scholarship on them.
