UN Jerusalem Vote – Tories Support – NDP Oppose – Liberals Abstain

This proves how dangerous the Conservatives are.

 

This is something the US should be abandoned for. Let them look like fools by the rest of the world.

I was very disappointed that the Liberals only abstained. At least they didn't vote like the Conservatives wanted,I guess.

I'll never fully understand why the Right has such love for Israel. To the point where they are or at least seem to always put Israel ahead of their own country. Pathetic.

But I was very happy that the NDP stayed true to their principles. Singh has reason to blast Trudeau. Scheer doesn't.

The Liberals did the predictable thing and stood solidly in the middle. Sad.

Israel divides and weakens the region, thus helping entrench U.S. political, economic, and military power there. It's the same role Israel played on behalf of Britain and France in the 1950s. Ultimately, it's the reason all the Great Powers supported the establishment of such a state.

  So nobody wanted the heavily-persectured Jewish people to have their own land?   It's all JUST about malicious control which yields little benefit?

Yes indeed.

The British government which issued the Balfour Declaration in 1917 did so out of profound humanitarian concern for Jews. Likewise with the end of the British mandate in 1948, and the U.N. vote (over the objections of every country in the region, who were no doubt motivated by hatred of Jews) to carve out Israel and Palestine. These were the same sponsors (including Canada) that denied refuge to Jews just before and during, and to a signficant extent even after, the Nazi genocide. When Egypt nationalized its own territory (the Suez canal), the British and French again helped the long-suffering Jews by inciting Israel to invade Egypt. Likewise in 1967, only this time it was the U.S. which had assumed the leading role of protecting world Jewry against persecution.

The U.S. holds that title to this day. Their love for Jews is palpable, it's all-embracing, and above all, it's undiluted by any crass colonial or economic or geopolitical concerns. Or oil. Donald Trump, who has even allowed Jews to join his family, is the finest example of this century-long historical evolution which (almost) saved the Jewish people from annihilation in the 1940s and will surely guarantee our survival, in peace, liberty, and sovereignty, for many years to come.

Thanks for setting the record straight.
