Wheres Palestine in the Canadian Election?
Many will certainly remember that incredibly friendly moment, during the otherwise acrimonious recent U.S. Vice-Presidential debate, when Republican candidate Sarah Palin reached out to her Democratic rival Joseph Biden, saying she was: “encouraged to know we both love Israel and I think that is a good thing to agree on.” Arguably, observing the Canadian election process, one gets the impression that this warm sentiment would be shared by party leaders north of the border – from Stephen Harper all the way through to Stéphane Dion, Jack Layton, Elizabeth May and even Gilles Duceppe – most of whom appear ready to join Palin (though with varying degrees of enthusiasm) in endorsing Israeli apartheid in one variety or another.
