The time for Canada to condemn Israeli violence against Palestinians is NOW!

[ttiger5050]

These so called leaders are nothing more than cowards that are selling out Canada's interests to the terrorist state of Israel. It is as if they are so logical about other international affairs, and then when it comes time to recognize the obvious terror that Israel levels against innocent civilians every day. It is time to hold these clowns to task and demand that they hold Israel accountable for WAR CRIMES. The old tired excuse that Israel is just defending itself is just propaganda.

[dave777blaster]

We need to dump Harper he is very weak on foreign affairs

his backbone is jelly

[knmfujiwara]

Cancerwitch, please stop this. " hiding behind innocent civilians" ? Even if it is true does anyone has a right to take the life of innocent? There have no qualms with you , there have everything that you have so why do you not treat them the same way you care for the people you love? It's not right.

[ptp44444]

There is no such thing as a "Palestinian " people.

[dave777blaster]

@ptp44444 We will stand until the 1967 borders are attained and our numbers grow every time Israel commits it's atrocities

[trails46]

Harper is a full blown Zionist.

Canada is a Zionist controlled country.

How much more evidence to non jewish canadians need?

[Ishtah76]

They appear on TV saying we are in control, and that we got Hamas, as well as, they start their new story of Hamas using children as a shield, to give themselves an excuse to the world that went against them in killing children. This is Israel mentality in life, they love war and blood. God sent them to this world to destruct it. This is their job. Messed up creatures.

[Ishtah76]

Well Zionism has to end. Gaza War have made it clear to all the world, except the zionist themselves, ofcourse, that keeps denying and lying. Making up stories, is not going to help covering what we see in Gaza now, and Israel is trying to prove a very weak point that they are self defending themselves. Israel made a mess, and couldn't get itself out, but to correct their mess, they create another huge mess, and so on.

[Ishtah76]

They don't know were to shoot anymore, so they decided to shoot the dead, as well as, hospitals with injured people. I don't know what is the objective of shooting the dead, maybe they are scared from their spirits. But that is very stupid, and mentally sick act. looool. Israel wants peace, Kiss my ass. We are targeting Hamas. Yeah right, LIARS.

[Ishtah76]

Cancerwitch, before you think yourself that you are better than anyone else and that Hamas should keep their fingers out of the button. Well The fucking coward pigs children killers should stop hiding in their tanks and f16. When they stop pushing their button, then come talk about hamas. They can't even fight like men. Everyday they get more crazier than the day before.

[taywil64]

The state of Israel is, as the Irish government said, out of control and acting beyond the rule of law. In Sweden the company that runs the light rail system for Israel lost a 3.9 billion Euro contract; Canadian companies must be made pay the price also for the support of the IDF-SS actions against the defenceless Palestinian people.

[Cancerwitch]

Nada, you are misinformed, see above for my views on the misinformed. Hammas should keep their fingers of the damn rocket launcher buttons. They "defended" themselves out of the blue? They launched the first rockets. Israel retaliated to destroy the terrorist lairs once and for all. As I said, it is terrible that the Hammas faggots are hiding behind innocent civilians.

[Cancerwitch]

Up in arms, we need a drama to fuel us, fuel our fear, fuel our anger. And deep in a cave- a bearded lot is laughing their asses off. Fuck.

[Nada1962]

cancer go play somewhere else, how could you justify the right of self defence for isreal while denying the palestinians that right, FUCK HARPER AND CANADA IS NO MORE CANADA, A PRIME MINISTER WHO CLONE USA POLITICS, HAS NO PERSONALITY, THEREFORE, I VOTE NOT FOR RACISTS.

[Cancerwitch]

Any sacrifice for them is worth it. And now Israel is condemned for wanting to have peace and destroy the terrorist forces? Wake up. I hope for all of our sakes those of you who are posting this uninformed nonsense are just playing devil's advocates, but then again, I suppose to each it's own. Give the people what they want and what they want is to create a drama out of others' pain, and blood, and guts, and gore.

[Cancerwitch]

My heart is breaking about all the innocent women, men and children that is caught in the middle, just goes to show the absolute cowardice in the name of religion once again. I agree 100% with all that Tim says- they are unable to even get a basic government up and running. There is too many extremists on self serving, selfish, egotistical paths, that just do not care about the rest. They do not care about their OWN.

[taywil64]

Israel refuses to allow Palestine to form a self-government. Israel broke the ceasefire. It claimed it never negotiated with Hamas yet it contradicts itself by alleging Hamas broke the agreed ceasefire that had been in place for 6 months! Those who refuse to demand an end to the blockade and violence are as guilty as the Israeli governmnet and are its violent fellow travellers. Shame on you.

[Cancerwitch]

Sweet Jesus, people. Which part of the word defense in Israeli defense forces don't you get? The Palestinians keep sending rockets in and breaking peace treaties, they started it once again, and now the whole fucking world is up in arms over the force with which Israel retaliate, to defend itself. The Palestinian Hammas forces are practically begging to be bombed on their hands and knees, they love, love, love martyrdom, and are fucking cowards for using innocent civilians as shields.

[Nada1962]

Isreal war crimes since 60 years and they have the right to defend themslves from weak, poor palestinians, while palestinians denied their basic human rights, why?

[lighthammar]

What would a patriotic Canadian do if America came into Canada, took by force the stratically best areas, controlled the water and electrical stations, and made it impossible to conduct ourselves in an economically viable way?

Apartheid is a good analogy of Israel/Palestine, and so is holocaust.

[jackson32]

Palestinian rockets have killed less than 20 Israelis in the last 8 years, meanwhile Israel has killed thousands. In 2006 when two of Israelis soldiers were captured, not kidnapped, in Lebanese territory, the response was the illegal invasion of Lebanon and the murder of 1000+ civilians. Palestinian resistance is not happening in a vacuum, they live under possibly the most brutal tyranny on the planet.

The whole world condemns these attacks, except zionist occupied governments like Canada.

[TimBlakeBech]

When Palestinian militants launch rocket attacks from civilian areas - and they've launched 4000 of them, and thousands of mortar shells, since 2001 - they themselves are responsible for the civilian deaths caused by Israeli counterfire.

Critics of Israel should distinguish the side that is the aggressor - Hamas - and the side that is trying to defeat the aggression - Israel.

Should Israel allow itself to continue to be hit by rockets daily, or should it destroy those who try to destroy it?

[jackson32]

I agree that it is wrong for Hamas to launch rockets against civilian areas, killing innocents is always wrong. Most people who support Hamas say this, but most people who support Israel never say such a thing, so right there you see how principled each side is.

Beyond that proportionality matters, and the record is clear on that, Israel has killed far more people, and actually stole the land from the palestinians. That that they are a highly repressive apartheid regime is obvious to anyone.

[vveeaall]

look at the $50 billion scam,was done by a jew.now they are destroying Gaza because they took a beating by Hezballah,so Gaza is an easy target,since hamas which has the will,but doesnt have weapons to fight a high tech weapons,but hamas could still win becauase the israel army are cowards,hezballah proved that,and the Isreali leaders are all a bunch of crooks and thiefs.but the other side is Arab leaders are worse,so both sides here are in lose-lose situation.

[TimBlakeBech]

The intellectual and moral laziness of the people who condemn Israel for defending itself is astounding. The Palestinians are victims of their Arab neighbors who not only refused the creation of a Palestinian state in '47 when this area was partitioned by the UN but have refused to take these people in as refugees. The Arab world has used Palestine to fight for the destruction of a legally created state so they can claim no responsibility for reigning in the murderous extremism of Hamas.

[PlumbicAcid91]

Have you not seen the maps displaying the lands that Israel has slowly come to extract from the palestinians. What was the whole 1948 Nakba incident? do you not know? the Palestinians kicked out of their homelands and moving to refugee camps to alongside countries? So many cities, initially Palestinian were taken by force and now are supposedly Israeli? How do you not know this and blindly believe that the Israelis have a right to live in their places?

[TimBlakeBech]

When Palestinians, and PlumbicAcid91, talk about the "Nakba", they forget that the real catastrophe happened earlier, as it continues to happen today. It is rooted in the inability of the Palestinian national movement to create any sort of framework that could reasonably support the building of a nation. They've got the national pride, and the national consciousness, but that's never enough.

[TimBlakeBech]

The responsibility lies with the Palestinians, not with the Israelis, and not with America. Hamas and Fatah cannot sustain a civilized framework, despite the huge amount of attempts to bring them together (such as last year's Mecca agreement) because their power is rooted only in violence, and not in building a sustainable state.

[TimBlakeBech]

But anyway, Palestine never intended to build such a thing - at least not until '48. Indeed, if the Arabs wanted to establish (yet another) Arab-run state, they could have done so 60 years ago. But alas, the real goal all along was to eliminate the Jewish people, and Israel. As a result, all that "nation building" stuff got left in the dust.

[TimBlakeBech]

"Apartheid regime"... What a misguided phrase.

The State of Israel was created in a peaceful and legal process by the United Nations. It was not created out of Palestinian lands. The fighting should stop, but Israel (not 'Isreal', as it is spelled in this propaganda PSA) has a right to defend itself -- which is what it is doing by destroying the weapons of its enemy. Is it Israel's fault that they purposely keep their munitions among civilians?
