Pathetic.

US isn't on that council full of terrorist states?

The United States, regarded as Israel's greatest ally, is not a member of the council.

I know you're retarded, but I at least took you as capable to read. Apparently I was wrong.

Oh, and here's something you can rub your little Zionist ass in: Bush Happily Does Israeli PM's bidding in UNSC.

Edit: And how is the "United Nations Human Rights Council a "council full of terrorist states"?! What the fuck is a "terrorist" to you? Someone who doesn't agree with your bullshit?

For your information, who in this list of countries on the council is a "terrorist state"?

Obviously I can read, that's why I stated that the US isn't on a council called "Human Rights" which has members that makes it fucking ironic:

Saudi Arabia
China
Pakistan
Russia
Cuba
France

Cmon say it, tell us how you hate jews and you think Hitler didn't finish the job. Please tell us how you really feel.

1) Want to tell your fuckbuddy GWB that Saudi Arabia is a terrorist state?
2) What kind of terrorism has China partaken in lately?
3) Alright, you got me there.
4) What kind of terrorism has Russia partaken in lately?
5) What kind of terrorism has Cuba partaken in lately?
6) Now I know you're a fucking whackjob.

Please-- use M&W's definition of terrorism when responding to my questions:

terrorism: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion




:roll:

Its not about terror, its human rights. And if someone has to explain what each of them are about, - France, i'm sorry for you.

Tell me again, how many Canadian troops are in the area to pit a mere vote money where their mouth is? Does Canada really have a dog in the fight?

In a ham and eggs breakfast, the chicken may be a participant, but the pig is the only one really committed.

You're right, but anti-zionism = anti-semitism.
Yeah, like the anti-zionist jews are anti semites.

How are you not banned permanently for stupidity?

47 nations voted and we are the only ones that refused to condemn the military offensive in Gaza.

I get banned from here for a week for making "Jewish Run" country comments. You should take back your assumptions about me, it's clear we know who is running Canada.

I'm disgusted with this country.

/throws up

We were 100% correct in refusing to condemn the mulitary offensive!
Canada also understood what was actually taking place and voted correctly!!

Now if bleeding hearts like yourself who are anti Israeli had a real solution to this problem that would be one thing but to vote to condemn the mulitary offensive is not and will solve the issue of missles being fired into Israel and will not solve the issue of a Palestinian state.

I would be disgusted if you were a fellow countryman!!

Shalom!!

the Conservative party curretly runs a coalition minority government (meaning they need the support of one of the other 3 parites to pass legislation) in Canada, they're very much pro israeli and hold right of center views. If the liberals were in power (which they usually are in the big cities), im pretty sure canada would've simply abstained from the vote and remained neutral like they usually do. There is a very strong jewish presence in the media in canada: the biggest media empire, Canwest global, is owned by the Asper family and they're very openly pro israeli and pro conservative party. :( so that explains that.

Most urban canadians are liberal (by american standards), especially in the toronto area where the NDP far left party has most of its seats. They're very much against what's happening there simply from a death toll perspective. a conservative government majority has'nt been seen in a while, so dont judge em based on the current minority government.

Someone please explain to me in a logical manner why Israel isn't justified in retaliation for the repeated rocket strikes by Hamas? I'm confounded by why people think Israel shouldn't retaliate with force when Hamas has been shooting rockets at them for weeks.

Canada has oil but really who gives a rats ass, it's not a popularity contest it's life or death.

Israel will defend herself no matter what the Oil states and their Western Heirlings say.

Remind me why this is not posted in the proper thread?

You're right, but anti-zionism = anti-semitism.

For the last time, no, it doesn't. Especially when there are large groups of Jews proclaiming that Zionism =! Judaism. And for the last time, the imperialist Ashkenazi Jews ("Zionists") are FARTHER from being Semites then I am. They were born European, their blood is European, and the "Jewish" bloodline in the purest sense probably only exists in Arab and Mizrahi Jews.

I've seen often seen people claim Palestine is a terrorist nation and that Israel needs to show more force. Israel has been showing force for decades and that has accomplished nothing. Palestinians are living in poor conditions and that probably may lead to increasing terrorist activity. It is a cycle that many supporters of Israel don't seem to notice or care about.

One man's terrorist is another man's hero really does apply in this case. You might think the Palestinians are terrorists but they don't think so. Someone is another part of the world might not think that way either. In fact, I think many things America and Israel do are "terrorist" acts. That does not make Americans and Israelis terrorists.

Good post over all. Palestine is not a "nation," like so many Zionism apologists love to keep assuming. The idea of a "Palestinian state" has meant nothing since 1948. The PA/PNA is nothing but a sham, running city municipalities of territory whose airspace, borders, water, electricity, and welfare are controlled directly by Israel and the IDF.

Not to gloss over Israel's part in this whole affair, but let's hear an opposing editorial to the one posted in the original post:

Harper's strong stand

It's true the Harper government has been a staunch ally of Israel these past three years. It's the Star's other assertion that's hogwash: Under the Liberals, Canada never had an "even-handed approach" to Mideast affairs. It had a mealy-mouthed one.

Canadian diplomats and ministers claimed to see merit in the demands of both sides. Our official policy goal was to become an "honest broker" by putting as much stock in the integrity of terror groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the PLO as we did in the Israeli government.

We poured hundreds of millions of dollars in reconstruction aid into the West Bank and Gaza, then turned a blind eye when large chunks of that money was diverted into the villas and Swiss bank accounts of Palestinian leaders. We didn't want to jeopardize our chances of being a mediator acceptable to the terrorists -- should they ever decide to negotiate a last peace -- by being churlish about their kleptomania, cronyism and corruption.

Canada indirectly paid for textbooks for Palestinian schools that denounced Israel and left the Jewish state off maps of the Middle East. And, under the Liberals, our UN diplomats time and again voted for resolutions condemning Israel for its self-defensive actions, or abstained and let the one-sided motions go through.

That's the approach the Star labelled "evenhanded." That's the approach the Harper government has abandoned -- though it should be noted that since it was getting us nowhere in our quest to become the region's fair-minded dispute adjudicator, there wasn't much to abandon.

Monday's UNHRC resolution accused Israel of "grave" crimes against humanity in several places, but never once mentioned the eight years of Palestinian rocket attacks on Israeli civilians that brought about the current fighting. It called for Israel's military actions to be investigated, but never asked for the same scrutiny of Hamas.

The motion was typical of the UN's highly biased approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict: Condemn Israel. Enumerate its every possible transgression. Then ignore all Palestinian provocations and violence.

The symmetrics of the Middle East conflict are uneven. All Hamas has ever had to do to avoid bloodshed is recognize Israel's right to exist and stop lobbing bombs into Israeli backyards.

It cannot even do that.

Hamas television constantly foments for the eradication of Israel. Hamas schools teach that Jews are subhuman and need to be pushed into the sea. The so-called two-state solution--a homeland each for Palestinians and Jews -- is still largely a Western pipe dream. The goal of most Palestinians is the elimination of Israel, period. Many influential imams in Gaza and the West Bank routinely preach that is the duty of good Muslims to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth.

Until the Harper government came along, Canada was an international enabler of such thinking. We were not alone. On Monday, Britain, France, Japan and South Korea abstained from the offensive UNHRC vote. Under the Liberals, we would have, too.

Permitting such resolutions to pass unchallenged merely confirms in the most radical Islamists' minds that they may continue in their extremism and the West will do nothing. Such abstentions encourage extremism, not compromise.

Good for the Harper government for wanting no part of them.

I was quite dissapointed when I learned about this.

Sure we could be an ally to Israel but why the hell is Harper not concerned about their means?

Damn straight.

Because palestinians wouldn't be forced to shoot rockets if they weren't so repressed by the evil Israelis. As a result, the tunnels from Egypt are required to be used to smuggle in weapons and ammunition, thus there is no possible way for food, fuel, or medical supplies to also be smuggled in. Possessing adequate amounts of these basic items would also undermine the PR campaign that asserts the evil Israelis are starving them out or something.

Seriously, the fact that neither Egypt or Jordan are lifting a pinkie in support of the palestinians and their "plight" should tell you something about their reputation in the region.

Exactly (and I can see someone here^ actually read through the whole article).

It didn't mention Hamas and their rocket attacks (on civilians)?

The resolution looks to be totally unhelpful, no country should have voted for it.
