This is amazing, people. CCD = Canadian Coalition for Democracies, and they’ve recently sent out a press release condemning the silencing, by opposition MPs at the Foreign Affairs Committee, of Lebanese witnesses about exactly what Hezbollah is doing in Lebanon! A friend of mine who has a son who’s a blogger for one of the local pro-Democracy newspapers in Canada sent me this link . You have to read it all, but I’m going to post some of the most telling things right here. This post may be long, but I urge everyone to read it. This is apparently information that none of us here in America have heard about. I may have missed something, but I Googled several of the items in this press release from today, and I couldn’t find anything! Perhaps with the change in the leadership of Canada, we can expect a turnaround of relationships in the very near future. Some of them obviously are on the right track. Read on: The Canadian Coalition for Democracies would like to thank the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development for the opportunity to express our views on Canada’s position and actions in the latest chapter of the ongoing tragedy of the Middle East. Canada has long had a policy of so-called neutrality in the Middle East. We have referred to ourselves as an “honest broker” in the conflict between a sister democracy and organizations – specifically Hamas, Hezbollah and Fatah – whose governing charters all call for the destruction of the Jewish state. Fatah, the party of Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas, is the only one of those three entities that has not yet been designated as an illegal terrorist organization by the Government of Canada. Yet the Fatah charter, available for all to see on its website, states, “Judaism … is not an independent nationality. Nor do Jews constitute a single nation.” To achieve the goal of denying a state to the Jewish people, the charter of the most moderate of Israel’s opponents states that, “Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.” It is important to realize that even Fatah, the so-called “moderate” of the Middle East factions, is governed by a charter – as inviolable as Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms – that calls for the destruction of Israel through violence. And Hezbollah and Hamas consider Fatah to be unacceptably moderate. This is the neighbourhood in which Israel struggles for survival. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rightly chosen democracy over terror in this conflict. He is not seeking the ephemeral and short-lived popularity enjoyed by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in 1938 when he chose to negotiate with Adolf Hitler and sacrificed Czechoslovakia for “Peace in our time”. That contrived “peace” gave the Nazis the time, opportunity and tacit approval to grow to a near-unstoppable force that resulted, by the end of World War II, in 45 million dead and Europe in ruins. In today’s terms, Prime Minister Harper recognizes that sacrificing Israel to the demands of a fascist enemy will not bring peace. Just as Hitler peddled his self-inflicted and self-serving grievances to gullible Western leaders and peace activists while pursuing his well-publicized charter, so too will Hamas and Hezbollah. And they will be further emboldened by the apparent weakness of today’s gullible Westerners. In contrast to Prime Minister Harper’s moral clarity, we now hear former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Defence, Bill Graham, tell the Guardian newspaper on July 18, “Mr. Harper is proud of the fact he wasn’t nuanced … Nuance has kept us in a position where we could help.” Nuance? Does Mr. Graham actually believe that nuance will curb the homicidal ambitions of an organization that has amassed over 10,000 missiles and sent 1,500 of those missiles packed with flesh-shredding ball bearings into Israel, and done so from positions within densely populated Lebanese cities and towns? Does he believe that nuance is an effective weapon against an organization that is the heavily financed and armed proxy of Iran, whose president has called for the nuclear annihilation of Israel? It would be laughable were it not for the slaughter of innocents and the threat to Canada that flows from Mr. Graham’s deadly naiveté. Mr. Graham actually believes that Israel should negotiate with an organization that his own government has designated as a terrorist entity. He is telling Israel that she must deal with Hezbollah, whose opening demand is the release of hundreds of prisoners with Israeli blood on their hands, starting with Samir Kuntar, a Palestinian whose gang kidnapped 4-year-old Israeli Anat Hanan and his father, and took them to Gaza where they smashed in the head of the child in front of his father before shooting the man to death. For this atrocity, Kuntar is a Hezbollah hero. Why can’t we have someone in America, besides the right and the President, speak up with such moral clarity? There’s more.

Thanks for posting that, good to read. . 2 Rose Said: 1:34 am [ Quote ] There are rational people in Canada. Wow, there is hope for this nutty world. 3 Tempest Said: 6:45 am [ Quote ] And you libs just keep on going with your moral relevance bullshit, “but hamas has opened up soup kitchens and hezbollah runs a free day-care center!” You idiots who support and defend these savages would raise holy hell if we were to try and ship your asses over to Gaza for a visit. When Israel is done kicking the shiite out of hezbollah I sincerely hope they move on hamas and destroy them too. Go Israel. 4 USN6872 Said: 8:24 am [ Quote ] Excellent, outstanding post and kudos to the CCD in their efforts. Go Israel.

It’s a curious irony that the father of neo-conservatism Leo Strauss is also the father of the term “ Reductio ad Hitlerum ,” which ridicules it’s usage in something so frivolous as this argument. Alas, irony is something that easily flies over the heads of today’s puny-IQ neo-cons and chickenhawks. To an clueless moron, it’s simply common sense to compare Nazis to Hezbollah. Like the Nazis, Hezbollah has the world’s strongest military, and their neighbors Israel is just like Poland, an underdog with a stoneage military. RSS feed for comments on this post.
