Perhaps a different slant on the Middle East?

A slight change in tone perhaps from the Conservatives? Hard to say -- what will be interesting will be to see how they follow up from here.

Israeli expansion 'illegal move', Cannon says By Mike Blanchfield, National Post - Chris Wattie/Reuters OTTAWA - Israel's expansion of settlements into Palestinian territory is an "illegal move" that undermines Middle East peace, says Canada's foreign affairs minister. In an exclusive interview Monday with the Canwest News Service, Lawrence Cannon offered the most pro-Palestinian comment to date from a Conservative government that has been heavily criticized for unduly favouring Israel in its Middle East policy. ... "Canada has never supported the expansion of settlements. We believe that it's an illegal move, and it's certainly not helpful to the peace process," Cannon said after a meeting with visiting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Nah, I think Abbas is simply very persuasive.

Did you see Jason Kenney's bizarre statements made in Israel on Sunday?

" But we acknowledge that so much of the criticism Israel faces is motivated by a dangerous form of anti-Semitism that tries to hide behind anti-Zionism and is represented by a coalition of the far left in the West with extreme currents of jihadi Islam that seek the destruction of the Jewish nation."

Coalition of the left? WTH?

Pretty convenient that Israel has a report, no evidence just a report, on 2 of Americas nearest "threats" that show it's helping Israel's biggest threat ... again with no evidence!! I know Gitmo has really lowered the bar on the whole concept of "burden of proof" but launching another war with birdcage liner like this will not fly with the public, over here anyway. I do have one question for the author though.
