1. Long live Stephen Harper!!
Shlomi ,   Canada   (11.09.10)
Finally we can witness a truly principled world leader. G-d bless him and his government.
2. Good man, Harper - proud to be Canadian with you as PM
Avi ,   Geneva   (11.09.10)
G-d bless you!
3. P.M. HARPER - REPRESENTS CANADA AS HONEST, MORAL AND STRONG
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (11.09.10)
OUR P.M. HARPER HAS THE INTEGRITY FOR BEING MORAL AND HONEST AND HAVING THE GUTS TO SHOW IT OPENLY. SUCH A MORAL AND HONEST PERSON SERVES AS A STARK CONTRAST TO THE MANY OTHER CORRUPT AND DIS-HONEST LEADERS IN THE WORLD .
4. No "bruising" for Canada
DT ,   TA Israel   (11.09.10)
That is an Honor for which Harper can be very proud. The UN is an Arab and anti Israel controlled organization soon to assume Hitlerian proportions
5. he is right, anti semitism is on the rise
ghostq   (11.09.10)
and the immigrants muslims incorage it. they do the same else where, now they found common ground with the othe anti semitic native people, I talked to british guy who didn't even recognize the right of jews to their own state, he was highly suporting the pali stand, but that was just cover, when I asked him about what in his eyes jews should do in the UK, he was almost quiet but he said they shouldn't be in the UK as well, on other time a brit native claimed that jews r corrupted religion, in other words, the so call enlighted country of the west r so antisemitic, it so rooted in and won't admit it, they r not have the desency to admit what they realy think on jews, and no I am not jewish, but just watch out from who so call speak in the name of freedom and equality toleranse and peace, cause those people just use slogans to hide their malice thoughts, as person who believe in christ way, I think that if someone can't admit his own dark thoughts and hide them rather than deal with them he is basicaly losing his soul. big part of it, people with no soul can do the most cruel things and that is not the devil, but self man made horror behavior.
6. A courageous man
Mark ,   Israel   (11.09.10)
I am inordinately impressed by Mr Harper's outspoken courage. It takes integrity of heroic proportions to swim against the tide as he has chosen to do. May he have the satisfaction of witnessing the acknowledged democracies of the world following in his footsteps. God bless you Mr Harper
7. Harper is a gift to Canada as well as to the Jewish people,
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.09.10)
and I, a proud Jew who is also a bit familiar with Canada and Canadians, am very thankful to Mr. Harper for his clear views of the Jewish people, its history and the history of its nation-state of Israel. Thanks!
8. History will remember you not as bruised
Alexander ,   NJ, USA/Israel   (11.09.10)
It will in fact honor you as will all the just and righteous people of the world. The right thing is never easy to do. Proud of my Canadian neighbor :)
9. Anti-Semitism?
Kafir ,   Kfar Molhid   (11.09.10)
"evolving phenomenon" of anti-Semitism targets Jews by portraying Israel as "the source of injustice and conflict in the world, and uses perversely the language of human rights to do so." It is indeed abusing the historic suffering of Jews to associate any crtisism of certain deeds of Israeli army or Israeli governments with anti Semitism.. but the worse that this guys is trying to mask his forgein policy failure and playing on robes hoping that he loose some and gain some (check the aviation crisis and what it has to do with Canada's failure in the UN )
10. they had peanut butter sandwiches for lunch
havalarf   (11.09.10)
the pic: both trying to get the stuff off the roof of their mouths! LOL!
11. (picture) bubblegum contest
hal ,   Canada   (11.09.10)
"no wait, I'll make the biggest bubble".....
12. Situation in Canada
NC ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.09.10)
Mr. Harper articulated very well the current situation in Canada and much of the western world. The left-leaning student population on our university campuses are buying heavily into anti-Israel propaganda and are spreading it themselves under the guise of concern for human rights. Our campuses are filled with students and professors who slander Israel and protest against fabricated human rights abuses, and at the same time they turn a blind eye to serious human rights violations being perpetrated by other countries. Stephen Harper's support for Israel and honest criticism of antisemitism have won him quite a few votes in the Canadian Jewish community.
13. Nothing to do with antiSemitism but a lawless State
jbrown ,   Australia   (11.09.10)
foisted on the Arabs. Nothing moral about supporting such an illegal state. The Arab UN is the same Arab UN that approved Israels unilaterally declared jewish state.
14. the ONLY country in the world........
tiki ,   belgium   (11.09.10)
'whose very existence is under attack! That's exactly the CRUX, that's the 'hidden plan. If NO Jews would be living there, Israel's very existance would NOT be under attack! Ring a bell? The WORLD is ganging up against the Jews once again....make NO mistake about it!!! PM Harper of Canada is a real LEADER, speaking the truth, even if it goes against the 'political correctness of most hypocritical cowards who call themselves leaders, all because of money, oil, Muslim hegemony in their countries...or just plain, YES....Anti Semetism!
15. It's all simple.
Linda ,   Poltava, Ukraine   (11.09.10)
Both Canada and Israel are parts of the Western civilization, whereas those who didn't allow Canada to get a seat in the SC are the enemies of THE civilization (because there is only ONE civilization on this planet, the one that had invented telephone and the wireless, built railways and airplanes, reached the moon, discovered the DNA ... the list is endless). "Friend in need is a friend indeed" - a very wise proverb.
16. Harper is the best Canadian Prime Minister ever
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (11.09.10)
17. Two soulmates
Carol ,   uk   (11.09.10)
How did these idiots become Prime Ministers?
18. #13 jbrown
Mikey ,   Copenhagen Denmark   (11.09.10)
What a hypocrite you are! You are living in a country that you stole from its original inhabitants, killed most of them, stole their children and keep them even now in the worst of 3rd world conditions! You had no history in this part of the world at all, yet you fulminate over Israel. Jews have a history in Israel of several thousand years and even after the Roman expulsion there were alway Jews in the land of Israel. It belongs to the Jews historically and ethically.
19. Canada is a strong country and thats thanks to Harper
Al   (11.09.10)
In the past two years wherein the USA with its decided anti-Israel stance has been on economic life support, Canada with its marked pro Israel stand has been doing very well economically. Goes to show that when nations align with Israel they prosper, those who are against Israel, bust. Thank you Mr Harper..you are a fine man.
20. Canada,
elsie ,   gush halav   (11.09.10)
I think that we have to ask's ourselves, why is anti-semitism on the raise and correctly address the problem, its no good if goverments keeps saying one thing and its people saying another, address the problem.
21. Oh Canada.... Glorious and Free...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.09.10)
22. canada to the fore
chaim ,   p.t. israel   (11.09.10)
now lets just hope that the leaders of other western democracies (who surely know, though ralely admit it) will follow suit and also stand up to the muslim world - before it gets too late for them too.
23. no.17
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (11.09.10)
Unlike Muslim despotic/tyrannical states Bibi Netanyahu and Stephen Harper were elected in the time honored traditional free and fair elections ,by the majority for the majority ,you don,t understand this enlightened 21st century concept ,means you are an ignorant Palestinian ,period ?
24. no.13
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (11.09.10)
Hey dumb Palestinian in Australia what are you smoking down under as it,s severely affected your ability to rationalise;The Arab UN is the same Arab UN that approved Israel,s unilaterally declared Jewish state ,when ,how as the League of Nattions was the forerunner of the UN until just after the horrors and atrocities of the WW 2 and there were no Arab tyrannies,dictatorships to speak of in 1948 as the world wasn,t yet reliant on their oil ,so it couldn,t have been an Arab UN then,get your stupid facts straight before you post dumb comments here ?
25. no.21
hebrew prophet ,   israels   (11.09.10)
Oh Canada ,glorious and free,thanks to a non-leftist looney govt. that currently rules the ignorant stupid folks of it,s neighbour America ,the moral of the story ,away with looney left socialist states ,the likes of Cuba and Venezuela and the USA ?
26. Thank you Mikey, shame jbrown
Kiltie ,   Adelaide Australia   (11.09.10)
Yes, you are right. But did you know that the whites in Australia were stealing the Aboriginal children as recently as 35 yeas ago? Did you know that it took over 200 years for them to say sorry to the Aboriginals? Did you know that the first Aboriginal member of parliament was elected only a couple of months ago? Did you know that the whites are now considering to include aboriginals in their constitution? They have to hold a referendum to do it. when there was a such a referendum some years ago to do the same, it failed! I happen to be one of the lucky Aboriginals to have received a decent education. It didn't come on a plate, believe me. I have also been to Israel not too long ago. I found out that they have several Arab members of parliament, the assistant speaker of the Israeli parliament is an Arab. There are many Arab judges, surgeons . I saw beautiful Arab villages, met many Arabs students in Israeli universities. Tell you what! I would rather be an Arab in Israel than an aboriginal in Australia. jbrown, go back to England, Ireland or wherever you come from. We don't need bigots in Australia!
27. # 17
Linda ,   Poltava, Ukraine   (11.09.10)
Carol, you may find it surprising, but Israel and Canada are parliamentary democracies, in many ways similar to Britain. It is easy to figure out, however, which countries' Prime Ministers have more intelligence and plain common sense: just compare the atmosphere of malicious islamism in your country, on the one hand, with the situations in Canada and Israel, on the other.
28. And he will lose the next election
Jennifer Johnoan ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.09.10)
The Palestine' population should have justice, dignity and a state, which must lead to true peace with Israel.
29. To: No. 28
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.09.10)
Idiot child, the "Palestinians" (a name they co-opted in 1964, by the way) have started six wars against Israel (all of which they lost) and have engaged in nearly seventy years of unrelenting terror against Jews, both in Israel and in the Diaspora. I'll tell you what, though. I'm SURE that the Arabs never intended to lose all six wars. I am EQUALLY SURE that France never intended to lose the Seven Years War against Britain. So let's see Canada cede back Quebec and Labrador to France. Then come back and talk about "Palestinian" justice, dignity and a state. You are quite the fool, dear.
30. Canadian passports
George ,   Israel   (11.09.10)
Harper , Have you forgot the forged Canadian passports used by Israeli agents ? Is it the true friendship between two countries !
