At least one Western country is standing by Israel in its time of dire need

….Canada’s sanctions against Iran cannot be separated from a strong pro-Israel policy. A mere eight days after the nuclear deal was announced, PM Harper concluded negotiations on July 22 for an expanded and modernized free-trade agreement between Canada and Israel. Noting the importance of economic considerations, calling Israel a “priority market,” Harper stated that this was not the only reason he wanted the agreement. “Canada and Israel share a special friendship that is based on liberty, justice, democracy, and the rule of law,” said Harper. It is clear that Harper’s foreign policy is not based solely on economic considerations. Otherwise, he would go along with the international consensus, open up another free trade agreement with Iran and reap the added economic benefits from such a deal. READ MORE

    What happened to our congress that was struck and captured and swifted by israeli penetration to our legislation, now is happening to canada because snart jewish warminger hawkish politicians exactly know that canada is a good investment and backdoor in the case that they are not fully satisfied by americans and that is ehy they have invested massively in canadian internal affair in the same way they did with our congress to put israeli benefit on the front of any foreign canadian policy. Everysentence of th article is just wrong and not truth and hugely biased to make iran a monster but make israel a baby who lost his dad. I call it the power of western media who brainwash people.

    The above is textbook anti-semitism. Read it and recognize it. The Jews (who comprise less than 1% of Canada) “own” Canadian politicians. They “meddle”. They’re “hawkish”. No reference to Israel being a strategic ally, the only liberal democracy in the mideast, engaged in the same war on terror etc. etc. Don’t look for reasoned commentary here, you won’t find it. Just the same old, same old.
