Canada Emerges as a Moral Leader by Standing Up for Israel

Conrad Black, in a recent editorial reprinted, with permission, in the online New York Sun said it perfectly. Link to artcile, excerpts below.Canada has, to an extent, taken over the leadership of the free world in supporting the State of Israel against the Arabs, now called "Palestininians". The Palestininian movement has no plans for what to do with an independent Palestine other than to continue fighting. They are not prepared to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

Harper has it right.

Canada Emerges as a Moral Leader by Standing Up for Israel

By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun | June 5, 2011

As befits a modest country unaccustomed to leading the world other than by homogenized measurements of the quality of life, Canada seems not to have noticed that Stephen Harper has kicked off his new term as head of a majority government with the assumption of the moral leadership of the world (in the usual unobtrusive Canadian way); and even more astoundingly, has done so by successfully contradicting the president of the United States.

**********************

But at the G-8 meetings in Paris last month, Stephen Harper prevented the group’s approval of Barack Obama’s call for Arab-Israeli peace “on the basis of the 1967 borders.” It was an outright veto by Canada, standing up to the Americans, and in non-confrontational dissent to all the others, who were prepared to let this stale bromide pass yet again. Mr. Harper had done the same thing at a Francophonie Conference in 2006, but that was only France, which has been playing footsie with the Arabs ever since Charles de Gaulle departed Algeria in 1963, leaving the oil behind and importing the Islamic problem into France.

By killing it in the G-8 (U.S., Germany, Japan, the U.K., France, Italy, and Russia), Stephen Harper became the moral leader of the world’s statesmen, as the first head of an important country to debunk the 1967 fraud upon which the Arab-Israeli crisis, the longest-running and most definitive moral litmus test in the geo-political world (and least successful extended negotiation in history) is based.

*********************

Those who oppose the existence of the State of Israel, for whatever motive, know that unless there is an unanswerable nuclear attack on Israel, which will not be possible even if Iran deploys deliverable nuclear weapons, given Israel’s retaliatory capability, Israel can be eliminated only by extracting gradual concessions. Keep bickering about settlements, while Palestine receives international recognition as an independent state; keep arguing about borders as the Palestinian population bulks up from returning alleged fugitives on both sides of the disputed and indefensible border; and never agree until the two states are one big, happy bi-sectarian and multi-cultural commonwealth. Then, absorb, enslave, expel, or massacre the Jews, yet again, as so often in their history, while the world sits in professedly righteous silence.

It might be that the world would be a quieter place without Israel. Europe, desperate for non-Muslim immigration, especially of skilled people, would probably admit the Jews, as would the countries of the Americas and the Antipodes, unlike the policy of most of the countries in these areas in the 1930s and 1940s, when half the world’s Jewish population was murdered, in what Mr. Churchill called “the long night of Nazi barbarism … made more sinister and more protracted by the lights of perverted science.” But it would be a collective capital crime on the soul and conscience of Western Civilization.

If what Obama, heir to the presidents who saved the Old World, sponsored Israel, and contained and defeated totalitarian communism, is advocating comes to pass, our civilization, morally, will die before, and less honorably, than that of the Jews, from which it came. And only Stephen Harper and the incumbent pope, among the world’s prominent current leaders, will have seriously dissented.

Whatever may come, Mr. Harper has brought great distinction on Canada, largely unrecognized, as proverbially happens among one’s countrymen, and upon himself.

Whenever a politician unable to solve real economic problems, such as too high tax and money shortage for public, they always try to pretend they were doing "political correct" and seek issues as far away as possible.

This has to be wrong---- remember--- harper "tarred Canada's reputation internationally" and is responsible for all the worlds problems because he personally caused them (at least that's what the defeated, downhearted grits on this forum say)

[Topaz]

When a leader stands up against most other leaders in the world over a certain topic, they better make darn sure they are going the right thing. This is more personal for Harper and I'm not sure were the rest of Canadians standing on Israel is the same of his. Since its Israel, Harper is standing by, does he put a "X" on his back and maybe Canadians, since the hatred between the two countries, that being Israel and the Palestine. Does he put our soldiers in more danger by voicing his own opinion? Only time will tell.

[sharkman]

And yet another anti-Harper post by Topaz. I think it's going to be a long 4 years for you buddy.

[Battletoads]

Conrad Black knows all about morals right?

And standing up for a country with a laughable human rights record to win a few votes is just pathetic.

Here's a question, why does this unimportant country get mentioned every other day by our prime minister? It's not like they a great trading partner or ally...

Unimportant? Israel is mentioned nearly daily in every major form of media….some think it’s important this would tend to prove, or do you feel the Zionists control the media?

As for not being a “great trading partner or alley” and I’ll add, by percentage, not one of the largest ethic/religious communities within Canada, one would have to ask why Harper supports Israel?

Aside from deploying a very small contingent of UN peacekeepers in the region, and on a few occasions the Mossad “borrowing” Canadian passports, Canada-Israel relations has been what one could call uneventful. We don’t seek Israeli natural resources, nor have vast Israel interests in our domestic economy, so this clearly shows no hidden vested interests within the region.

Perhaps is doing what he feels is morally right, taking the road less traveled is not always the easiest choice…….Many though Churchill to be a unbalanced, out of touch drunk in the early to mid 30s when he opposed Nazi Germany.

Harper is a world leading statesman and has clearly proven that Canada can and will express her own independent opinions regardless of what the EU, the UK, or the Oboma nation to the south have to say.

Black's morals are considerably less tainted than your idol Chretch or "Tug" Layton.

Harper continues in Canada's great tradition burnished at the Plains of Abraham, Vimy Ridge and Juno Beach. The latter was to save France's arse so don't get going on me by mentioning the Plains of Abraham.

The Jewish Lobby does indeed have a huge influence over western media.

As for not being a “great trading partner or alley” and I’ll add, by percentage, not one of the largest ethic/religious communities within Canada, one would have to ask why Harper supports Israel?

Harper's christian social-conservative base supports Israel, mostly due to their insane beliefs.

Aside from deploying a very small contingent of UN peacekeepers in the region, and on a few occasions the Mossad “borrowing” Canadian passports,

You mean stealing the identities of Canadians to commit murder?

Perhaps is doing what he feels is morally right, taking the road less traveled is not always the easiest choice…….Many though Churchill to be a unbalanced, out of touch drunk in the early to mid 30s when he opposed Nazi Germany.

Comparing Stephen Harper to Churchill? Churchill was a man who generally stood up for what he believed in, whilst Stephen Harper is afraid of even his backbenchers stating the parties social conservative views.

[Topaz]

And, Topaz is trying to convince us that he's being so thoughtful and concerned about the safety of his fellow citizens.

Well, you wrong on one issue and yes on the other one. First, HE is a SHE and I am concerned of what could happen to other Canadians when our PM or any other leader, decides their views on a issue. By singling out Israel as Harper has or any other country for that matter, the leader should think of the pros and the cons of how the reactions to his view within the Middle-East , especially.

[Battletoads]

Black's morals are considerably less tainted than your idol Chretch or "Tug" Layton.

Really, neither are convicted criminals... Is this who the Cons are putting their faith in now, the scum of society?

Ah yes, another Jew-hater I see. How about we get ahead on merit? There are plenty of non-Jews in the media, too.

Harper did not call an end of the world for May 21. His opponents did, however, on May 2, 2011.

You mean stealing the identities of Canadians to commit murder?

You mean the execution of people who organize assaults on school buses?

Comparing Stephen Harper to Churchill? Churchill was a man who generally stood up for what he believed in, whilst Stephen Harper is afraid of even his backbenchers stating the parties social conservative views.

Maybe some of the backbenchers have the "insane beliefs" you decry. Maybe governments belong governing, not indulging the tangents offar-out people. Edited June 6, 2011 by jbg

Last I checked Israel is in the Middle East. Perhaps the only country there where people work, rather than being born, receive U.N. or oil succor, learn to fight, then fight, reproduce, and either die or get killed.

This statement is truly incredible!

[Guest Derek L]

Have any sources?

Harper's christian social-conservative base supports Israel, mostly due to their insane beliefs.

The same base that forced(or in the future will force) Harper’s hand into banning gay marriage and abortion? The same base that formed the Christian heritage party?

You mean stealing the identities of Canadians to commit murder?

As far as I know, they didn’t steal the identities of any Canadians, just assumed the identity of Canadians...Personally, if they wanted to kill the head of Hamas and Black September, I wouldn’t care if they stole my passport......

Comparing Stephen Harper to Churchill? Churchill was a man who generally stood up for what he believed in, whilst Stephen Harper is afraid of even his backbenchers stating the parties social conservative views.

Harper, like Churchill, is a very shrewd leader and a master of Realpolitik….Would Layton be so supportive of the socialist caucuses views?

I’d suggest you research his time as Chancellor of the Exchequer and his subsequent return to the mainstream after his “wilderness years”….

Churchill’s and Harper’s form of leadership and control of cabinet (and other subordinates) is very similar..

[cybercoma]

Conrad Black... really? Come on jbg.

[Sandy MacNab]

Really, neither are convicted criminals... Is this who the Cons are putting their faith in now, the scum of society?

Cretch "The Strangler" is a bully and a goon. If you don't remember Adscam and Shawinigate you have a poor memory. And, Layton was lucky.

[Battletoads]

Really, we're just going in circles here. Lets just agree that you hold the opinion of a convicted criminal in high regard, whereas I do not.

[Battletoads]

As far as I know, they didn’t steal the identities of any Canadians, just assumed the identity of Canadians...Personally, if they wanted to kill the head of Hamas and Black September, I wouldn’t care if they stole my passport......

You have no problem with foreign states stealing Canadian identities to kill their enemies? So if China wanted to take out a pro-democracy leader you'd be a-ok with your identity being used?

And yes, assuming someones identity is stealing their identity. Some criminals use an assumed identity to steal money, others use it to commit murder.

[Battletoads]

Ah yes, another Jew-hater I see.

Comeback when you have an argument.

[WIP]

After the recent massacre of unarmed Palestinians on Israel's border with Syria, our newfound policy of supporting everything Israel does is not moral leadership; it's the exact opposite!
