Stupidity

Rarely in my private or personal life have I been so upset with our Prime Minister Stephen Harper. While the world calls for a immediate investigation into the tragedy with the Jewish blockade in Gaza and the resulting deaths of innocent people hoping to help the people of Gaza with peaceful supplies our PM was sucking up to one of the tyrants in the middle east calling Israel our closest friend.

This was one of the most worst international mistakes our PM has made. Why are we not taking the long time international stance that Canada has made over the last 60 years and remained neutral. The people of Palestine have as much right to a place in the sun as the Jewish people. The Jewish people were granted a piece of land around 1948 to ensure they had a land of their own. This was an arbitrary decision, mainly by Britain but gave the Jewish people a land to settle and recover from the Second World War.

The Palestine people had an equal right for a place in the sun and were denied for many years the right to their homeland. Now we have a nation which is at odds with their neighbours and supported by many western nations committing terrible acts. While our prime Minister was sucking up to their PM their armed forces, in international waters slaughtered some of the people who raised money to provide supplies to the Palestinians.

A blockade to this area placed great hardships on the people in Gaza and the Turkish lead convoy was going to challenge the blockade. Great force in the way of armed Jewish military landed on the convey and killed many innocent people. Prisoners and ships were taken in by the Israel Military.

The world is enraged and the only friendly country seems to be Canada. Our PM made a big mistake because of his right wing conservative feelings. We will realize that his error in judgment will hurt Canada as a country which has been recognized as a state which treats all people equally. We should immediately separate ourselves as Israel's best friend and take our place with all the countries of the world who see Israel for what it is - wrong - and ask Israel to come clean and stand with the world and become a citizen of the world. We can no longer tolerate the actions of this renegade regime. Everyone in this world deserves to have a place in the sun and we must respect every people to find that place. I am ashamed of our stance for the first time in my life.
