More on PURSING ISRAEL OR PURSUING JUSTICE.
Foreign Minister Baird has said many disgusting and misguided things about the Middle East,
but when he threatened to punish Palestinians if they took their case against Israel to the International Criminal Court he sunk to a new low.
He was talking like a Mafia boss. "If you call the cops, I'll break your legs."
He was saying that Palestinians have no right to the protection of the law.
He was saying that Israel is above the law, and should not be subject to it.
He was saying that Canada does not support the rule of law.
Does this truly represent the attitude of most Canadians with regard to the rule of law?
Respect for law has probably been one of the outstanding characteristics of Canadians for most of our history.
Has Canada changed so much under the Harper Administration, that we now can tolerate statements like these from Baird?
I don't think so, but why does CBC think so?
How can CBC report this travesty as if it were routine, and even use the same weasel words that Baird uses?
Isn't it part of CBC mandate to protect the integrity of Canada, by criticizing monstrous transgressions by Canadian politicians?
Or are monstrosities allowed as long as they protect Israel?
