Did Canada cave under US Israeli pressure?

[herself311]

I don't know anything about Canadian Law, but I thought Steve Harper took Israel's side from the bedinning. Israel has done nothing wrong. War is war and Israel has never, I mean Never started a war. It is always the islamics that start the wars.  Israel has enough amunistion to protect itself if any islamic country strikes them. One push of the button and the (those) islamics and countries are gone forever. Hooah

[herself311]

The truth is, media like this is our enemy just as islamic terrorists are.

[herself311]

Oh geesh, the news media has a love affair with Al Qaeda and all other islamic attacks from islamics... What is chopping off heads, hands and feet? Beating women, stoning women, killing apostates, killing Christians, Jews, HIndus, Buddhists, etc. etc.

why is a niger here spewing what a white normally does, i dont wanna see african nigers !

[geezzerboy]

Steven Harper is a truly evil son of a bitch.

You can take NPR off of that list. For years they have been moving farther and farther to the right. Look at their despicable "tribute" to Howard Zinn which featured a hatchet job by David Horowitz.

which is exactly why John A. Macdonald put in protectionist measures when he created the Confederation. Guess it didn't work out too well.

"Jews have too much power in the U.S. today."

We wish Richard Cohen would have identified the anti-Semitic remarks of Rep. Moran's remarks for what they were.

Second, anti-Semites have long spoken of a Jewish conspiracy controlling the U.S. government. While most rational Americans reject such bigoted fantasies, the unsettling fact is that fully one-third of Americans still accept the notion that Jews have "dual loyalties." This was apparent in a May 2002 Survey of Anti-Semitism in America, which also found that 20 percent of the American public agrees that

[oo446611]

in power is pure, unadulterated anti-Semitism.

Why was the Congressman's remark anti-Semitic? First there is history. For centuries, Jews have been stigmatized and branded as "outsiders" with no loyalties but to their own kind. This dangerous canard continues to captivate modern-day conspiracy theorists, and surfaced during the 1991 Gulf War when Pat Buchanan blamed the Jewish amen corner for provoking the conflict Rep Moran's words have successfully reignited this pernicious myth

To the Editor

Richard Cohen gets it wrong when he suggests that Rep James P Moran merely overreacted in suggesting that the Jewish community was responsible for the U.S. military buildup against Saddam Hussein and holds the power to reverse it Offensive but not Anti-Semitic, March 13 The heinous charge that Jews are more loyal to Israel and have undue influence

[justicenoapart]

Shame Canada for being spineless.

Harper is the Bush of Canada.

people of Canada wake up before is too late and the neocon take over Canada too.

[HokageLeafVillage]

the people have Canada have mostly woken up. Problem is we have 3 left wing parties and only 1 right wing party. We have more voters voting left wing for parties with fundamentally minor differences from each other, and thus the right wing party is just going to keep winning.

[Pleblian]

Any and all of them.

[cruzander]

So, when the aztecs were slaughtering people in the hundreds of thousands for their religion.

And when 40million chinese were slaughtered by their own communist government's policies. I suppose white people were to blame then too?

Nigger.

[saintee1000]

Erm not sure on your anti-whiteness but if you read my post again you will probably see the sarcasm ;)

[neilemac]

The world must know that Harper is a Bush-bot and has turned Canada's democracy into Harpocrisy. When will Canadians awaken and put the entire 'neocon' Harper's bizarre cabal out of office?

[Pleblian]

Really NoSaviorButYou... Name one race of people that hasn't caused genonide?

[saintee1000]

Everyone knows America is the fairest most noble and morally upstanding country in the world! Canada obviously fell for that old "truth" argument but having seen the "economic" argument they soon saw the light.

[HokageLeafVillage]

are you being extremely sarcastic about america fairest noble crap?

[projectdurden]

Harper should resign. The guy is a snake oil salesman. He is a coward and a fraud.

[gin5354]

Canada will DO what ever US says... I'm Canadian so don't beat me up about this. If US goes down, so do we....

[kraskp]

Damnit! Cuz clearly the US is going down... an I was hoping to move up there

[MuslimApostate]

Don't bother. No yanks allowed.

[bluethinggg]

Unfortunately, Canada when forced to take a stand, bent over. Canadian politicians life would be easier if they could avoid the torture question. Now that Canada is making a stand on torture, they turn around and endorse the US torture. What a horrible day for Canada. From being proud, I just became ashamed.

[IMBUED]

this is not a race issue, stop being ignorant. Its people electing thugs, and cowaring behind them.

[IMBUED]

This has nothing to do with religon, or race, this is about slave masters dragging thier slaves into war. Has history not taught you anything? Humans have allowed themselves to be trapped in polarization, thats the problem.

[antidotevideozine]

yeah canada is selling out faster than you can say stickabush - a canadian

[Pleblian]

When will Canada start taking control over there own destiny and stand up against this current American administration, which for most American's have deemed irrelavent anyway.

I'd have never thought I would see my fellow country-men and women (Canadians) allow for such moral cowardice.

[Rosen915]

Stephen Harper is such a Bush bootlicker! Shame on the Canadian government for helping the US and Israel lie about their torture tactics. Shame!

[bluethinggg]

Today I am ashamed to be Canadian.

[takotheoktopus]

All within 24 hours. I was glad to hear we had put Israel and the US on the list of countries that torture. Now I have bowed my head in shame for this blatant political decision to change the facts to please the bully nations!

[2paclove2]

@bluethinggg fuck that,its not your fault what the government does,i lived in canada some time,and i can say it kicks ass compared to all the other countries in the world.

[jaysonmm2]

HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!!

[yasin190]

why are we surprised?

[The1dle]

If only a few countries would've followed the example, they probably threatened with embargos. Wonder how long that will hold, with the dollar going down. Torture is torture is torture.

Peace sells, but who's buying?

[coszz]

America is a global dictator, and few countries have the guts to stand up to, including my own. For a brief second Canada did have the guts and that is admirable.

[TimberGeek]

Wouldn't it be nice if the US government really had to pay for it's policies... Unfortunately it's the citizens that ultimately pay.

[jaekent]

The US should put on the list of Nations who harbor Terrorists.

[FattKidd]

Canada should have told the US ambassodor to kindly go outside and play Hide-N-Go-Fuck-Yourself!

[DRockMonolith]

Ridiculous! if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks suspiciously like an Aflac commercial, its a fucking duck! My country tortures people in Gitmo, its a fact. I hope they dont take us off the list. The Bush Administration needs to be held accountable.
