It takes a lot of courage, I think. I may not fully support your party, Mr. Harper, but I have gained some respect for you. The right decisions are not always the most popular ones. And when the UN holds a general meeting on global human rights violations and devotes 70% of the floor to demonizing Israel, while failing to even MENTION the human rights abuse and crimes around the world [like Darfur, which killed hundreds of thousands of people... many of whom fled to Israel -- most of whom were Muslims; they also failed to mention the systematic murder of Coptic Christians in Egypt; the prosecution and torture of Bahais in Iran; one can go on for a while]. Harper is calling the anti-Semitism card, and rightfully so. I cannot explain the 70% otherwise. It just does not make sense.

Mr. Harper, how about switching with Netanyahu?

Palestine' population should have justice, dignity and a state? I can't call this hypocrisy rather than ignorance. There is already a country (a recognized one) that the vast majority of its population is Palestinian, namely Jordan. Many times in the past the Palestinian politician spoke about South Syria as the west bank. Most of them where clever enough not to say it in English, only in Arabic. In Khartoum conference held in 1960 they have decided to gain as much as areas on the expanse of Israel, in order to wipe it down. They keep up with that policy until today. You are naive if you think that signing a peace agreement will and the demands of the Arabs on the (yet) free world. With the food comes the appetite...

in any event, this paper deals with the palestine/israel issue. i bet you do not the source of the problem? hello 1917

Hey George ,those so called fake passports were forged by the Dubai/Palestine/Jordanian intelligence services (sic) that allowed the Iranian/Hamastan drug dealer and gun runner Mahmoud al Mabhou to enter Dubai without an internationally recognised passport ,smuggled thr ough the Haniyeh/Mashall /al - Zahar tunnel system into Egypt and out on Ahmadinejad,s personal plane to deposit the money for new Hamastan arms weapons etc. in the Islamic bank of the UAE ,but the above mentioned intelligence services got wind of this briefcase and it,s mulit million dollar contents the rest is history ,idiot ?

This is indeed something that may set a precedent amongst world leaders or very well may be the drawing of the line in the sand...which side will you be standing on?

Good for you. Glad to see there is someone with a head on his shoulders and his own thinking cap. World needs more like this mensch.

Oh how easily he dupes the Zionist crowd to fill his pockets with shekels for the next election. He was busy telling the House of Commons that the reason for Canada's failure to secure a seat was the direct fault of the Leader of the Opposition! My how the tune changes depending upon the audience. Israel can continue stealing Canadian passports, kill Canadians during their military games with their neighbours and this Prime Minister will say nothing. He has expressed little but disdain in the past for Quebec, but when it came time for an election, he declared that the Quebecois were a nation. He will say or do nearly anything to further his own ambitions at the expense of the nation. Like the altar boy haircut look though. Ha ha ha ha ha ha harper.

Canada no longer has a vote in the UNSC... for consolation, it's obvious that Israelis will kiss the booboo to your ego.

minus the white star . their flag is not even original since they got no past, they r actually outcome of forign rulling first turks than british, the turks era was in aim to islamitize the region, the british comes from stupidity and nabling to read maps right, they named many places after wrong phrases which still been used today, and never even had one thecnological achivement, the brits borowed other people achivements.

Well said. But with respect you are only half right. These Arabs who have called themselves Palestinians since 1964 already have two states: Jordan as you correctly stated and Gaza with a government democratically elected and serving its people as a government should and best of all completely Judenrein which is just as they like it

Chill with the prophecies for the future and learn a little history. Your chastisement of #30 was nothing more than a rant predicated on your prejudices. There is a long history of Israel forging Canadian passports to the point where the Israeli government apologized and said it would never happen again. Only it did. Are you aware of how many Canadians have died as a direct result of Israeli extra judicial actions?

a certan dignity which allows me to view him with appreciation. After reading this article, I wrote a letter-to-the-editor of the Edmonton Journal praising Mr. Harper. I had already joined the Conservative Party because of Mr. Harper. This fellow, Sean of Montreal, who appears on our forum from time to time, is an out-and out racist. He resides in Quebec which votes Bloc quebecois, the political party which wants (they say) to secede from Canada. In fact, they're like Israel's Arabs, they'd never secede but they make the rest of the country pay for their threats.

This man is an example of great leadership! When other leaders condemn Israel because it may be fashionable or because they fear distancing themselves from the opinion of the 'street', Harper shows that morality always prevails. Good for you Mr. Harper!

There were in the whole history of Canada only 2 PMs who were not only pro Israel but real friends: Brian Mulroney and Stephen Harper, both Conservatives. And Jews still vote mostly for the Liberals.

I don't care what he thinks about Israel. What I care about is how he ruined this country with his Bush-style bullying of democracy here. He suspended the parliament twice to stay in power.. now that's a man who loves democracy.. no doubt. F him.. i can't wait until we get a new PM.

May HASHEM bless you with long life and good health PM Harper!

My heart goes out to you with "deep thanks" that are so deep and strong that it is impossible to describes! You are just simply so correct in your analyses, that even leftist in Israel it's self don't understand what you, in your wisdom have grasped, and so eloquently expressed! You will always be remembered as a friend of the jewish people. THANK YOU !

quebecois. The next election will see another minority government again led by Mr. Harper. No thanks to you folks from Quebec who continually bribe the country by threatening to secede. As far as I'm concerned, you can secede. We've supported Quebec much too long, time to grow up.

Good for Harper for actually taking a stand! That is why I voted for him in the last election rather than the spineless Liberals that we the Jewish community usually vote for. He actually takes an unwaivering stand on issues and sticks to it, popular or not.

"Are you aware of how many Canadians have died as a direct result of Israeli extra judicial actions?" No, I am not. Please enlighten me -- names, dates, places, circumstances. Thanks!

Canada is the BEST country in the world and it's about time a leader of any country steps up and protects Isreal. The only failure on any world leaders part is to let RADICAL ARABS ( not all arabs)) into their country to cause mayhem and to cause political unrest by promoting their own ideology within our borders. We do not need to follow your rules but you need to follow ours in our country!! If you don't like our rules why don't you all stay in your own country?? I can't believe our government allows you people into our country and then allows for you to tell us what to do and to let you demonstrate your political views using our free society!! Try your free speech and open demonstrations in your own country and see what your leaders do to you!! The same leaders that you believe in are the leaders who torture and kill all who oppose them!! Do you see the US, Canada, Isreal, France , England...etc... killing their own people when they express their opinions? NO!! Therefore, Kafir, your opinion really doesn't matter as you have no clue what you're saying and it's easy for you to hide behind a computer and spill your bull!! You people have nothing but hate in your soul!!! Any race that kills innocent people is a race the world can do without!! No matter what GOD you believe in, GOD does not allow killing for any reason!!

i salute you Prime Minister Hapner your true leader, God will bless you coz you bless the prince of GOD!!! GO go go ISRAEL, VIVA ISRAEL!!!

Unfortunately, in reality, the "evolving phenomenon" of anti-Semitism targets Jews by portraying Israel as acting on behalf of Jews.

Long live PM Stephen Harper!

There are no words to say say how much your statement means to me, my family and my fellow Jews. You are a standup guy in the best sense of the word.

There were NO Arab states in the UN in 1947/1948. They joined the UN in the 1970's! Shock! Awe! Just whe the UN became ANTI Israel and ANTI Semetic! Stick with the truth...ur lies are useless amongst educated people.
