is this what hitler said to the rest of the world when he was ethnically cleansing jews from germany? stfu fascist.

bob advocates ethnic cleansing. why aren't any of you "pro-israelis" condemning him? do you also support ethnic cleansing?

lol. stfu, fascist. i'm done wasting time on you.

palestinians are engaged in mass murder campaigns for a century? tell me, how many israelis have been killed by palestinians in the past 5 years? then tell me how many palestinians have been killed by israelis in the past 5 years. it's interesting that the usual pro-israeli mass are not condemning you for calling for ethnic cleansing. it goes to show where they stand on this matter.

was that okay to do?

oops. you're wrong rue. likud's platform: Self-Rule The Government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river. The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state. Thus, for example, in matters of foreign affairs, security, immigration and ecology, their activity shall be limited in accordance with imperatives of Israel's existence, security and national needs.

you are calling for the ethnic cleansing of people. what more is there to discuss?

sounds like an argument for rejecting a state for jews. the jews are doing quite well in america, canada and europe. why the need for a state? double standards.

you call for the ethnic cleansing of palestinians from the land they've been living in for centuries.

john diefenbaker, former prime minister of canada succeeded in expelling apartheid south africa out of the common wealth. that action and other actions taken by people around the world that isolated the apartheid regime eventually led to the end of apartheid south africa. this time around, harper and unfortunately canada, will find itself on the wrong side of history. the end of israel's human rights violations against the palestinians will happen sooner than later. israel's extremist government's vision of a greater israel will not happen and the palestinians will have their own state.

sorry buddy. people with middle eastern background, who are canadian, are as much canadian as you or me. it sounds like you're against democracy. u.s. and canada have already talked to the taliban.

95% of land was in the form of cantons. which means the cantons would be surrounded by israeli only highways. on top of that, east jerusalem was not included in the offer. anyone would have turned it down. then you're quite the bigot. they want to have a state in a land where they've lived in for centuries. that's not too much to ask. the rest of what you've written has too many holes and misinformation which i really don't have time to respond to. remember that before israel was formed, there were jewish terrorist groups who targeted civilians. one of the leaders of the terrorist groups ended up becoming the prime minister of israel. israel and its mouthpieces have been using 'security' as justification for human rights violations for far too long. rocket launches are a symptom of occupation, blockades and overall oppression. majority of palestinians are in favour of a two state solution just like most israelis are. the minority on both sides should not decide the outcome. unfortunately, at the moment, extremists control the government on the israeli side and partially on the palestinian side. why? they've been living on that land for centuries. why are you in favour of ethnic cleansing the area? you are saying that the jews who migrated to the land in the early 1900's should have priority over people who have been living there and that the palestinian should be shipped out. that's quite the warped view of the situation. anyone who promotes human rights violations will not get my vote. this means that harper, who promotes israel's treatment of palestinians will not get my vote.

i'm not baffled. i'm only pointing out that harper prefers to align himself with special interest groups and foreign countries rather than what canadians would prefer. so, do you back a palestinian state or not?

perhaps you should take a moment and read what you are responding to instead of wasting your time and our time with comments you otherwise wouldn't make if you had read the post.

the people are not being asked about the details of negotiations. they are being asked whether they believe the palestinians should be backed in their bid for a statehood. do you think the palestinians should be backed for a statehood?

i don't know. maybe they should do a poll on it. regardless, i care that my government does not speak for us canadians and instead, they speak for a foreign country.

what are you babbling about? this is the question asked: As you may know, the Palestinian Authority is planning to request that the UN General Assembly recognize the Palestinian Territories as a state and as a member of the UN. Do you think [RESPONDENT’S COUNTRY] should vote for or against this request? the question is so simple to understand that even shady or you would be able to respond to it without getting too confused.

he doesn't say he doesn't support the establishment 'at this time'. regardless, when is a good time? negotiations with israel have gotten nowhere. especially with the current extremist government that runs israel. why can't negotiations happen after the bid? why can't the palestinians have a voice just like other people? the status quo has done nothing but to stall. of course israel is okay with that because it allows them to continue to annex more palestinian land. back to the original topic; the harper government has gone against what the canadian people want. instead, he is repeating what a foreign government wants him to.

Harper urges Palestinians to give up UN recognition bid Canada has already indicated it will oppose this move. link it's nice to see that most americans back a palestinian state.

canada's results are broadly inline with the overall result: The survey of 20,446 people, conducted by GlobeScan for BBC World Service, found that across the countries surveyed, 49 per cent of respondents supported recognition of a Palestinian state, while 21 per cent said their government should oppose it. Nineteen per cent said they don't know and 11 per cent answered "depends" or that their government should abstain from giving an opinion.

In Canada, the numbers were 46 per cent in favour, 25 per cent opposed. that's the 'most' i speak of. one has to admire the "nerve", for lack of a better word, of the posters above and the ones to come who have decided that "polls" in general (or at the very least this one in particular) are invalid, unrepresentative, manipulated, undemocratic and/or (my personal favourite which i'm sure will be coming soon) "left wing propaganda". i'm sure the subject matter and result have absolutely nothing to do with that impartial, dispassionate assessment.

no it's not. this is why i'm asking. once you've received a response to your question from gh, i look forward to a response from you to my question.

the israeli lobby continues to have a firm grip over canada's policies towards israel/palestinian territories. while most canadians support the establishment of a palestinian state, harper says otherwise. In Canada, the numbers were 46 per cent in favour, 25 per cent opposed. you will see similar numbers in the united states: Among American respondents to the survey, 45 per cent backed recognition while 36 per cent were opposed. of course, aipac's firm control over majority of u.s. politicians is no secret. link we're approaching a historic moment and unfortunately, the harper government has failed in representing canadians and has decided to be the voice of the israeli lobby instead of the canadian people.
