I'm not going to mince words..What's happening in Israel is an Apartheid and an ongoing ethnic-cleansing genocide and if people of the jewish faith think that that is hateful,I say GET OVER YOURSELVES.

It seems because of the holocaust and the attempted genocide of jews back 65 + years ago,that any criticism or observation directed at Israel or Zionists is somehow some Medusan taboo that should be prohibited by law.

The irony is that Israel...A state created by the West after the war,is practicing the same policies as the fascists that attempted to cleanse their existence from Europe(which would virtually render them extinct if Hitler had succeeded in his plan)

ENOUGH...Israel is NOT above criticism or the law.There is plenty to criticize that rogue state for and even more reasons to condemn their neo-fascist genocidal Apartheid.

Barack Obama could have used his influence and his hard-headed insistance of diplomacy(which was the case at the beginning of his Presidency)to use the world stage to criticize and/or condemn Israel's ongoing Apartheid and oppression of the Palestinian people which would have been a small gesture that would have meant alot to the Arab world...But he didn't.

It's this unconditional relationship with Israel that has a portion of the globe's populous eager and willing to blow up and kill as many Americans as possible.It's this oppression amd in many cases extreme poverty both in wealth and in self worth that recruits waves of young people willing to be kamikazes in attacking their oppressors--whether they're directly or indirectly involved in this oppression.

Now that Canada wants to be Israel's biggest bum chum,Americans can sleep in peace knowing that the target is shifting off of their backs and onto ours.And for what? To fulfill a christian fundamentalist prophecy?

So to MPP Peter Shurman and everyone like-minded.Calling Israel out for oppression and Apartheid is not hateful...Treating a people as dogs in an open air prison,ethnic cleansing and genocide is hateful.Get your head out of your ass because people are waking up and smelling the BS eminating from the Middle East...And words like Anti-Semite are not going to change that.
