31. at last a brave voice
ritchie   (10.19.06)
good news !!
32. PROUD OF PM HARPER
(10.19.06)
FINALLY IN CANADA WE HAVE A LEADER THAT WE CAN BE PROUD OF. BLESS HIM FOR NOT BEING AFRAID OF MUSLIM REACTIONS TO HIS WORDS. HE SEES WHAT THE SMALL COUNTRY OF ISRAEL HAS TO ENDURE FIGHTING THOSE FILTHY TERRORISTS ON A DAILY BASIS AND HE KNOWS VERY WELL THAT TERRORISM IS A PART OF A GLOBAL PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS ALL OF US IN THE FREE WORLD. HE IS THE LEADER OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY OF CANADA. HE SHOWED STRENGTH AND LEADERSHIP AND I AM PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN WITH SUCH A LEADER. MAY GOD BLESS HIM.
33. WORLD CLASS LEADER
(10.19.06)
The world needs more leaders of his caliber. If he cared about votes, he would kiss up to the Muslims. This is a response to the losers who write here that he is motivated by Jewish votes. He stands for what's right. Does he need a motive for that? What a wonderful politician and human being, we are lucky in Canada to finally have such a leader. Toronto,Canada
34. Israel
r. Schwartz ,   USA   (10.19.06)
I want to thank you for standing by Israel at a time when it is under attack from within and beyond its borders, continuing to fight not just for recognition amongst those who would destroy it from without, but those who carry their suicide bombs in the streets at home.
35. jews in england are proud to hav you supporting them
liran ,   london england   (10.19.06)
i just want to let you know how proud i am as a british citizen to know that there are good people like Stephen Harper who is capable of differentiating between a peaceful state and the terrorists who aim to destroy hopes 4 peace, as well as the rest of you who have left feedback. just shows that the people of this world aren't as ignorant as i thought. thank you
36. Thank You Canada and Harper
An ,   Cincinnati, Ohio   (10.19.06)
It is very reassuring here in America to see our Northern neighbors restore their sanity and pride as a nation. The left are a dying breed, a pack of old dogs on their way out. If Palestinians actually wanted a state, they have had every opportunity to build one. I guess they enjoy being proxies for Iran and training their children to kill more than they care about creating a nation worthy of standing in the world.

so you cowboys in alberta have access to internet now?
38. Better Off Neutral
Jack ,   Edmonton, Canada   (10.19.06)
Pledging full support for one side or the other is a rather foolish thing to do, simply by the logic that it infuriates the side not being supported. I would rather see Canada remain neutral in the Israel v. Palestine debate. If they want to slaughter one another or what have you, let them do so.
39. #28 Vlad
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (10.19.06)
Leave, no one is keeping you here, nor wants you here, so why is it your here? Everyone notice the only bitching from Canadians comes from people with names like vlad jaygee, or dovy, or from the french, minus the jewish living in quebec. Very typical canadian politics. Harper is a great leader much better than the far left liberals that would sacricfice everything our country stands for to bring in new immigrants and appease them with money so they get the votes and stay in power longer. The liberals have now become the far left and don't care about right and wrong, only votes. If they didn't stop cloning they'd clone all the immigrants to get more votes. I bet they are kicking themselves for that. lol. A true Canadian leader is good to see after so many years of liberal crap and retarded senile french leaders.
40. Stand by Israel
sel Heller ,   Dallas USA   (10.19.06)
Dear Mr Harper Thank you, Thank you, Thank you... I wish for you what I wish for my own family...
41. standing by Israel against terror
David Azulay ,   Ramt Hasharon   (10.19.06)
you are a courageous man Mr. Harper; people like you will eventually erradicate terror. God bless you.
42. ashamed Matt from montreal
David Azulay ,   Ramat Hasharon   (10.19.06)
Matt, you better go learn English before you post any comments, you ignorant
43. no.
Edan ,   richmond hill canada   (10.19.06)
no, canada has been along side with the USA as allies since ww1. however, they have been supporting the USA operations ageinst terrorism. haveing said that, supporting Israel is 100% reasonable. Israel fight for their country and that is all, they are not looking for war or to conquer any more land. so yes, canada is better allies with the USA, but whom is it to say that canada should not support anti-terrorism operations and gain a better relationship with another country whom is fighting for the same cause? and for all whom say that israel is trying to harm inocent people, maybe you should try and go live in northern israel, (as i once did.) you will see bombs falling amung schools, hotels, cultural buildings, beaches, and then you'll see on how crimes ageinst humanity is comited. israel trys to stike only locations of which have militants or enamies. and if those targets are hidden behind incoents, there is not much to do, israel cannot jsut pull back and let rockets continue to rain down at them. remember this.. IN WAR DEATH COMES UPON THOSE WHOM DO NOT DESERVE TO DIE, AND THIS IS BECAUSE THOSE WHOM SHOULD DIE, HIDE BEHIND THE INOCENTS. thank you for your time, hope u agree with this tag, if not, probably cause u hate irael.

44. disagree with that.
classified ,   unknown   (10.19.06)
harper is an anti-terroristic human. as all of us should be, he shell continue to get votes from the jewish comunity and from all voer the world. i support him 100% and his desitions. i'd tell you about myself and why i support him, but, for your own good, you cant know unless you want me to feed yo bs of whom i am. writen by: Pvt. unknown (unknown regerment/infantry/ canadian armed forces)
45. # 10 - Matt-awi
dd   (10.19.06)
If you are so ashamed to be a Canadian go back to your country of origin (somewhere in the Middle East or Far East) and you won't have to whine like a spoiled brat.
46. Western Liberals - MOVE
(10.19.06)
Yeah, move Go to France or other EU country/Arab dictatorship where your wussy socialist, far-left, America/Jew bashing is appreciated. We in the West need support Israel 1000% more than we have. We sat and watched you fight with hands tied behind your back in Lebanon and enough is enough! As someone else already wrote: Everyone wants the palestinians to own eretz israel or at the very least have a state on it, but it hasn't happened - Why? Because G-d gave it to the Jews, simple as that.
47. pakuda@013.net
Monty Pogoda ,   Efrat Israel   (10.19.06)
We need more presidents like President Harper. His attitude to terrorism is the only one worth implementing.
48. #38..learn from the past...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (10.19.06)
Last time countries chose to be neutral, the holocaust happened. Here in the US, we see being neutral as not wanting to fight terror, which makes you worng and cowardly. Is that what Canada wants to be.
49. Prime Minister Harper's Remarks
Janet N. Wray ,   Cincinnati, USA   (10.19.06)
Thank you, Prime Minister Harper, for the courage to say and do the right thing at a time when it is not popular to do so.
50. John In Toronto
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (10.19.06)
Stereotypes eh? I guess that makes you queer. Some of the proceeds from your annual gay pride parade were sent to install dialup connections for us cowboys. Although we all share the same PC. Are you for real? John is that your pseudonym? Should I call you Abdullah or Mahoumad. I bet you see yourself as a sophisticated educated man. To me your a joke, if it wasn't for Alberta you'd be in a recession, close any more plants today. Polluting the environment some more, march of the queers. I'm from Ontario dumbass, i just smartened up. Shouldn't you be dressing in drag right now, still upset the NDP never won, lol.
51. Where is Diefenbaker?!
Dovy ,   Toronto   (10.19.06)
Where is John Diefenbaker when you need him the most?! Harper is creating alot of trouble for himself needlessly. What benefit does he get tangibly from allying himself with the Zionist state that is violating international law at every turn, when international law is what people like Diefenbaker and Lester Pearson were worried most about?!
52. i couldnt say it better myself
Edan ,   richmond hill canada   (10.19.06)
the world is starting to get better knoledge of the crises in israel. not only during hte war but during the everyday life. i left israel at the age of 8 and now am 16. durign the time i lived there iv seen shells fall down and iv seen what you cant imagin. now im in the canadian military waiting to hit 16 so i can go over seas to fight this war that everyone should be. your welcome for the support but unforchenetly, some crounteis are still hostile towards israel. thie countries could be italy, france, and all the other muslim countries. however, israel has some of the best technologies and best allies. thank all whom support israel. to those whom do not, i hope youll see rockets falling down at you too one day, becasue if you dont support anti-terrorism, then you support terrorists. writen by: Pvt. Silelnikov, (Queen owns rifles/infantry/ canadian armed forces)
53. false statment?
classified ,   unknown   (10.19.06)
i dont know what he said, but to blame his false stament because he is douche.. sounds like your one of those anti-israel people who critesize people because of their race. i dont care which side of the war you support but i support israel and those i nit, so if you support israel i dont support yo ucause people like you dont belong. Pvt. Unknown (regerment/infantry/ canadian armed forces)
54. He knows "What starts withJews never ends with the Jews
Alan ,   SA   (10.19.06)
55. No.46/western liberals move
Mark ,   UK   (10.19.06)
You are a religious fanatic with such ancient ideas.Did God give you licence to massacre women and children.You should be examined by a psychiatrist. Next you're gonna tell us the clusterbombs in south Lebanon were sent by God too.Open your eyes it is 21st century. Grow out of your inhibitions and take sides with logic and reason. I don't know why I bother to post you this because Ynet.com will never print this anyway.
56.  Democrats in US oppose Israel
patriot ,   chicago,US   (10.19.06)
Hopefully the Democrats will not become the majority in the US house. If that happens there will be resolutions against Israel in the future and Bush will not be able to stop them. Remember when Hillary gave Suha that big hug years ago, that's pretty much where they are at. But this is a hard year for Replublicans with the Left Media batting hard for the Liberals.
57. Harper is the Canadian Bibi
Eric ,   Calgary, Canada   (10.19.06)
58. PM Harper
dd   (10.19.06)
Thank you sir for being outspoken and assertive against terrorism. It's good to know that Israel has real friends. Only by joint effort can we erradicate ever-growing world terror which is actually meant to weaken and destroy freedom and democracy We need Mensch like you !
59. Mr Harper, Thanks for understanding of 'Islamic Terrorism'
KMR ,   Middle East   (10.19.06)
60. To 15 who himself needs to learn some history
Lior ,   Denver   (10.19.06)
There is nothing between the right of the Palestinians for a state to the terrorist activity against Israelies executed by the Hamas and the Hizbullah. These two organiztions have a goal of eliminating the Jewish state completely and are conducting terrorist acts against innocent Israeli civilians from two teritorries that have been completely freed from Israeli occupation, namely the Gaza Strip and South Lebanon. Standing alongside these terrorist organizations means you do not believe in the right of Jews to have a place of their own under the sky - from where does that come from? anti-semitsm perhaps?
