Canadian Prime Minister Condemns Obama, West for Not Supporting Israel
Breitbart ^ | 14 Jul 2014, 12:33 PM PDT | Thomas Rose

In a stunning rebuke of President Obama’s tepid calls for Israel to show "restraint" in response to daily rocket fire on Israeli civilian targets by Hamas terror redoubts in Gaza, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, long considered Israel’s best friend and strongest defender, all but condemned President Obama by name for what he regards as Washington’s irresolute support for Israel during its time of grave crisis.

In perhaps his most strongly worded statement to date, Prime Minister Harper proclaimed that self defense is "not merely an Israeli right" to be exercised only in the abstract, but an "Israeli obligation" that must be defended by all Western nations.

“Failure by the international community to condemn these reprehensible actions will encourage these terrorists to continue their appalling actions,’’ Harper said in a rare Sunday statement. “Canada calls on its allies and partners to recognize that these terrorist acts [by Hamas] are unacceptable and that solidarity with Israel is the best way of stopping the conflict."

Forget about the U.S.-Israel relationship being the bulwark of Israeli security, say some. Israel’s best friend and staunchest defender is no longer found in Washington, but rather in Ottawa.

Ending the war does not require Israeli "restraint," implies Harper. It demands the world declare that sole responsibility for the terror of violence belongs with the terrorists. It is Hamas, claims Harper, that is entirely responsible for the current Israel-Hamas war. “It is evident,” Harper asserts, “that Hamas is deliberately using human shields to further terror in the region,’’ and he takes several swipes at the United Nations and the “international community” for calling for Israeli restraint in the face of escalating rocket fire aimed at murdering and maiming Israeli civilians. . .

Abundantly clear is the Obamao habit of voting “present” has carried over nicely to the Republicrat congress who do the same, with an occasional flurry of activity resulting always in “nothing to see here”.

Ineligible and you can’t have him.

I was working in Calgary for a while when Ralph Klein was premier. From what I've heard, Alberta sure could use him again.

What a racist.

Careful, Mr. Harper or our Attorney Corporal, Eric Holder, will investigate you as soon as he's done investigating that racist outhouse float.

Harper is a Prime Minister, a statesman, and a real man with fortitude, guts, wisdom and plain common sense. We could use a guy like him instead of this gutless, narcissistic, feckless fool on the hill. How pathetic that this buffoon O is such a pathetic excuse for a man, a "president."

I went on a nice long visit of the Canadian Maritime provinces. WONDERFUL trip. I enjoyed myself thoroughly--a bit different from the West Coast of Canada.

I understand that half of the population lives within 50 miles of the Canada-US border. We seem to be almost the same group of people as they are--DELIGHTFUL folks. Of course, I was with the tourist folks and they WOULD be nice to us.
