he full text of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harpers address to the Knesset, January 20, 2014
Monsieur le Premier Ministre, Monsieur le Président de la Knesset, Monsieur le Président de la Cour Suprême, Monsieur le Chef de lOpposition, Mesdames et Messieurs les Ministres, Et les Députes, Distingués Invités, Mesdames et Messieurs,
Shalom. And thank you for inviting me to visit this remarkable country, and especially for this opportunity to address the Knesset. It is truly a great honour.
And if I may, Mr. Speaker, on behalf of my wife Laureen and the entire Canadian delegation, let me begin by thanking the Government and people of Israel for the warmth of your hospitality. You have made us feel extremely welcome. We have felt immediately at home.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Canada and Israel are the greatest of friends, and the most natural of allies. And, with your indulgence, I would like to offer a reflection upon what makes the relationship between Canada and Israel special and important. Because the relationship between us is very strong.

Harper is a bright light shining on the rats who are betraying Israel.

Says the leader of a country with more oil than it knows what to do with and doesn’t have to give a flying flip about Arab butthurt...

Also a country that recently ended diplomatic relations with Iran.
If you are an American, your country will also soon have more oil than it knows what to do with. A good position to be in.

Canada will be blessed for this!

And we could be a country that doesn’t have to give a flying flip either. However, we have a Rat problem that is preventing that from happening.

The people of Canada can expect increased blessings as long as they maintain this course,
The people of that lawless unclean spirit pictured below, can expect the opposite,
God promises to ‘bless them that bless thee,’ and to ultimately separate the sheep from the goat nations,

Says the leader of a country with more oil than it knows what to do with and doesnt have to give a flying flip about Arab butthurt...Is that really the reason? I mean, we do, too.
Perhaps, Harper spoke his heart. Obama certainly has.

Looks like Canada is becoming American, just at the moment that America is becoming Soviet. Hooray, we now have a couple refuges.

Harper has definitely restored my sense of patriotism that had been waning since the Trudeau era. He has consistently expressed the values that I consider "old school" Canadian. IMSNHO he's our greatest leader since
Laurier.

For all Harper's faults, I am a proud Canadian today. He is getting a lot of flack in the media here though with people claiming he said “if you criticize Israel you are an anti-Semite”. That is NOT what he said. He said that when you single out Israel to the exclusion of Syria, Saudi Arabia, the Sudan, ect... most likely you are motivated by anti-semitism.
