Response to ten percenter brouhaha

o The Liberal Party was the party that designated Hamas and Hezbollah as
terrorist organizations in 2002, which made any financing of Hamas and Hezbollah illegal.

o The Canadian delegation unequivocally condemned anti-semitism at Durban
I. Canada then continued its presence at the express request of the Israeli and other governments. Indeed, it is because of the skillful Canadian negotiators that the Israeli government said they could live with the final language, and the Canadian negotiators did not rest until that was the case.

o As Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff stated in 2006, "Canada is a friend
to Israel. We stand shoulder to shoulder when the going gets tough. Between a terrorist militia and a democratic state, Canada must always side with Israel".
(October 13, 2006)

"It is beyond reckless for political leaders to try to score points by branding one another as anti-Israelto try to win votes by claiming a monopoly on supporting Israel. My party will never claim to be the only genuine defenders of Israel in Canadian politics because I don't want my party to be alone in the defence of Israel. I want all parties to be genuine defenders of Israel".
(Michael Ignatieff, Speech to the Canadian Jewish Congress Plenary, May 31, 2009)

More faux rage. The 10%ers are bottom of the barrel trash as far as political ads are concerned.

There has been far worse from the Libs.No one cares.

Ha ha ha.

Now that it has been established those 10 %ers are total lies designed to paint the LPC as anti-semitic, silly little anon falls back on the "well they did it too" excuse and declares no one cares anyway.

Ha ha ha.

Check out Kinsella's blog. He's nailed the Hypocratives right were they live.

Actually this 10%er has worked.

Libs have brought attention to the policies as they pertain to Israel. You will see that the Libs have been lagging.

10%ers from the Libs have used racism with bodybags, Embarassment with our flag, H1N1 hysteria. All total BS.


Kinsella on Ignatieff

"..I objected to the fact that he mocked Canada during the three decades he was abroad, and that he likened Israeli policy to the fascism of apartheid."

Enjoy your rants.

Sure it has CS (what's the matter - scared to use your regular name here?).

It seems to me the only issue being raised by the media are the lies, and the fact the CPC has spent millions of tax dollars on these things.

So working fine - for the opposition.

I read Kinsella's site. He had to dig back to 1980 to find a guy who was working for the "Conservative" party in Alberta? Is that the provincial Conservatives, or the federal "Progressive Conservatives"? And BC Reform, Ontario Reform, are those federal or provincial? It's one thing to quite Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff and point out the actions of Liberal MPs, and something rather laughable when you have to point to guys 30 years ago, and guys who tried to run for the party.

It's like these 10%ers are the only way political parties can air their most venomous and partisan slants.

Haven't they heard of the internet?

From the same speech:"I do believe that in this conflict, war crimes were visited on Israeli citizens and were visited on Lebanese civilians," he said. "Whether war crimes were committed in the attack on Qana is for international bodies to determine. That doesn't change the fact that Qana was a terrible tragedy."


That is not much of an apology. In fact it sounds more like he is reaffirming his earlier "expert" statement that Israel committed war crimes in Qana.
