Harper's policy on the Middle East: Israel can do no wrong http://www.rabble.ca/news/2010/06/israel-can-do-no-wrong-harpers-policy

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has long been hawkish on Israel 's security; even rivalling President Bush in his unconditional support, i.e. " Israel , right or wrong."A staunch proponent of Israel 's right to use lethal force to defend its perceived interests, even preemptively, Harper justified the wars of aggression Israel waged mostly against civilians and their infrastructure in both Lebanon and Gaza .

This stand supports exclusive entitlement to security for Israelis, denying the same level of security to others in the region. It also buys into victimhood as a shield to victimize others. This is immoral and unsustainable.Canada's long-standing policy is that the Israeli settlements are illegal, as Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon has confirmed. However, the Canadian government has failed to condemn explicitly Israel 's occupation of the Palestinian territories and the Syrian Golan Heights.
