Obama gives the middle finger to Israel and Canada embraces Israel.

Harper has been very loyal to Israel. He’s not as conservative as I’d like, but he sure hasn’t been disappointing when it comes to Israel.

Canada embraces Israel

Canada has already announced that it will keep its tough sanctions against Iran in place, despite the deal that John Kerry negotiated.

Good to see that some one from the west still has his diplomatic brains.

At this point in time Israel needs all the help she can get. She may even reach out to Saudi Arabia or other rough states. She can not count on Obama’s America anymore.

I recall a report a number of years ago, that at the UN, Canada has never voted against Israel, nor abstained from a vote involving Israel, even during the Pierre Turd-owe era. Apparently, the US has abstained on occassion, even before the 0.00 coup in 2008. I am reminded of the OT where it says that God will bless those who bless Israel and he will curse those who curse Israel. God bless and protect Stephen Harper and Canada.

Hopefully he will fully denounce the obama/soeotoro deal that allows Iran to build nuclear weapons.
