Is Canada a better friend of Israel than America? And please give examples

God bless those who stand by us in our hour of need! It is good to see that humanity has learned something since WWII and is not allowing a second Holocaust!

This guy's a douche. I wouldn't listen to him if I were you...

Something just doesn't make sense in the pronouncements of Stephen Harper. First of all he is attaching himself to the explicit pro-Zionist views of President Bush, whose political fortunes are sinking. Secondly, Harper has a minority government as we know, and is trying to attract enough Jewish votes in Toronto and Montreal to help him get a majority government. But this would be at the major expense of many voters who will switch to the Liberals, i.e. Muslim voters and other Canadians, who prefer the traditional non-agressive style of Canadian foreign policy. So in all likelihood the BEST scenario is another Conservative minority government. The focus is on Toronto and southern Ontario, where there are many third-world minority groups. Finally, the entrenched Jewish/Zionist money will not suddenly drop the Liberals simply because of a one-time Prime Minister, whose popularity is teetering. So this approach of Harper just makes no sense.......

Canada has woken up Italy Spain England Austrailia and Denmark has thier jokers to enrage those who preach death . For real europe look around you every other person a muslim in your nieghborhood , they have manage to infiltrate all of europe and now tell you what to do and attack you in your own backyard . The French should know they allready have fleas from sleeping with the dogs.

thank you very much for your kind comments mr harper.

" Alongside his support of Israel, Harper emphasized that the Palestinians also deserve a fair and just future and that he hopes a two-state solution can be found so that Israelis and Palestinian can live in peace alongside one another." Well he is talking about Palestinians also .. and He even knows that Palestinians deserves a fair and good future.. So when Israel is going to give that fair and good future to Palestinians ? An Independent Palestine state.

Finally a leader who has the balls to stand up to the large Muslim population. Does it really matter if he is doing this out of goodwill or to get support as long as he supports Israel? His plan worked - I will vote for him now. Yisrael anachnu itchem!

In today's world of vagueness and cultural relativism, some people have clarity. Stephen Harper knows what Canada's role in the world must be - not only towards Israel, but towards radical Islam in general. Liberal media whitewashing of islamic rights abuses and super-critical attitude towards the west and the US is not working on everyone.

1- We are both your allies, that is an unanswerable question. In ww2 we were in there fighting the Nazis way before the US was. But the US has a larger economy and military to provide material funding to Israel. But in generals N. America is an ally of Israel, to the end. #3-Your a douche, your liberal days are over in our country and we are going back to our roots, Christmas will stay christmas in the hearts of all Canadians and your are excluded, crybaby leftist loser, you guys wouldn't take a tough stance to there was bombs falling on your own head, then you'd cry talk instead. Your thought pattern was the demise of this great nation but it is now over with. Thank the Lord. #5 Votes don't drive him, how many muslims will this offend, southern ontario is always liberal or ndp, all the immigrants vote that way for more social funding, lower immigration laws, and money for leftist lobby groups and useless minority organizations and human rights cases. The traditional Canadian foreign policy is returning, it's not that leftist, hug a tree, give everything to an immigrant attitude your used too, read our history, we are taking our country back, you must be straight off the boat loser. Learn our country, you know nothing of our traditions and history. Even our liberals have drifted too far left from there own traditional stances. Proud to be Canadian,

Harper is not losing support. His statement is simple, terrorism is our problem as well. It has nothing to do with your bullshit Bush conspiracy. Most muslims do not support terrorism, especially the ones in Canada, that is why they left their third world countries. Harper is taking the right stance here. I will tell everyone else on this site what Dovy is. Canada has a very long history of following policies of our allies. Especially before and after WWII. Especially the world's position on Jews. Anti-semitism is still alive in Canada. Dovy is one of these backwards uneducated drunk hunting truck driving jew hating hosers that once ruled this country. Wake up man, it is time for the educated.

Mr. Harper, you do not speak for me and as leader of a parliamentary democracy you should avoid all such partisan gatherings and private mouthings. Read mid-east history of the last 60 years before making further public utterances on a topic of which you seem to be so blindly ignorant.

You're straight off the boat with the spelling skills of a baby.

As soon as they renounce violence and recognize Israels right will they have their rights recognized. If they smarten up, we back them, until then, who cares about them,

In case Canadians didnèt realize.. there are 600,000 Muslims living in Canada while only 300,000 Jews. I don't think Harper is going after the Jewish population considering there are LESS JEWS IN CANADA THAN MUSLIMS. People always have excuses for why someone defends Israel.... thank G-D Harper is doing the RIGHT thing not going after votes like the Liberal party ALWAYS has.

Very well put and pretty bang on especially your second paragraph As well #10 maybe you should move and immagrate to what you may deem as a better part of the world where you could be PROUD... Hey how about somewhere like Lebanon ohhh no maybe Syria or Jordon,Iran or even Iraq? Isreal we are behind you 100% that is a fact and one I am VERY PROUD of. Thanx and Shalom from CANADA

Stop posting your embarrassing real Canadians, We do not support terrorists, or countries that harbor them, or support them. And what are you talking about, Palestinian was a term given to the jewish people to try to make them give up there jewish / israeli mindset. So in reality, palestinians are the jews. And they already have a state, educate yourself, what are you one more dumbass immigrant coming over here to drive a cab or push a mop, no i don't want fries with that either. When you say palestinians you must be talking about those gang banging terrorists that are plaguing Israel, and spending our money on weapons and terrorist plots instead of feeding the hungry and creating a prosperous land. And as a democratic land, he does speak for all of us dumbass, and if you don't like it, no one is keeping you here, start swimming in a few years time you might get to north korea.

You should move back to where you came from, and be a proud Muslim if there is such a thing.

Anyone who opposes this, is obviously a biased Muslim. Most people in the world today understand that there is a problem with radical Islam and they understand that Israel is at the forefront of this "war". For a country to come out and support Israel is the same thing as saying they oppose terror...pretty normal if you ask me. So for all the Dovys,Wandas and other idiots who start making excuses and finding conspiracy theories...go jump off a bridge together.

As a Zionist, a Jew, and a lover of our beloved Biblical Jewish state of Israel, (I am not Canadian) I want to thank PM Harper for being one of the first leaders to be honest, and support Israel in it's fight against terrorism. He is not afraid to speak out against terrorism, no matter that in Canada the Muslim population is double that of the Jewish population. He is not afraid of the Arab financial power. He is one of THE most honourable men in the world. May Hashem Bless you, Mr Harper. Israel needs wonderful friends like you.

Bravo. World leader with integrity and a moral compass.

Thank you for taking a principled stand for Israel and against the radical Islamic terrorists who wish to destroy Israel. I know you will get flak from the anti-semites and the anti-Americans, but I want you to know there are many more of us who support you and stand with you. Thanks again for doing what is right.

In a world driven by politics and self interest, Prime Minister Harper's consistent and courageous defense of eveything that's fair, decent and just is inspiring. All that stands between civil society and a plunge into violance, corruption and disaster are the stances taken by people like Harper.

Your the one that seems to be so blindly ignorant. Since you already know where to read history it seems you dont understand a word of it. Finaly we have a leader that will stand up for the right side rather than saying nothing which was the case so many years. Its about time to get of the fence.

the government plays both side... to the arabs they say one thing here... to the jews a nother... canadians are a bunch of fools

yOU CAN MOVE BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM IF YOU'RE ASHAMED TO BE CANADIAN. PM HARPER SUPPORTS A FREE AND SOVERIGN'S COUNTRY BATTLE AGAINST TERRORISM. I AM PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN. GOD BLESS PM HARPER!

it's good to know that a man in his level speak up for israel but i think that we need to make all the prime ministers to realize what we are going to deal with if we don't do somthing fast.
