Canada to Chide Israeli Ambassador

Fri, Dec 5, 2003 at 5:26:27 pm PST

Canada’s liberal government never ceases to amaze me with the depths to which they will stoop to appease Muslim voters and accommodate terrorists. Earlier today I linked to a report in the National Post about a Canadian arrested in Israel after being recruited by Hamas to carry out terror attacks in Canada and the US. Now the Canadian government has announced they are going to chide the Israeli ambassador for making “inappropriate” remarks:

The [Israeli] ambassador, Hiam Divon, has said that Jamal Akkal, a Canadian citizen of Palestinian extraction, confessed to being recruited by Hamas to attack Jewish and Israeli targets in Canada.

Foreign Affairs complained that he's pre-judged the case.

"Contacts are being made right now with the Israeli embassy to call the Israeli ambassador in as early as possible next week," said Reynald Doiron, a Foreign Affairs spokesman.

"We're going to tell him that the comments made by him and other people in his embassy are inappropriate.

"All officials in both governments have the duty and the obligation to be very, very discreet about a case which is under judicial review in an Israeli court. The determination of Mr. Akkal's guilt or innocence belongs to that court."

And please note that even Jamal Akkal’s own lawyer openly admits his client was contacted by Hamas!

Jamil al-Qhateb, Mr. Akkal's lawyer, said his client admits he was approached by Hamas to carry out attacks in North America but said he never agreed to do so.

Israel is really making its demise inconvenient for the rest of the world.

Go easy on yourself and stop squirming.

Softly, softly. We can't risk hurting the poor oppressed terrorists' feelings, now can we? That would be yet another black mark against our already-eternally-stained self-hating European-ancestry souls.

I am so effing embarassed to be a Canadian.

Excuse me, Canada is no longer a nation. It's now La Nouvelle France.

OTTAWA -- Canada's air force, as well as either the army or navy, will likely cease to exist around the end of this decade unless the federal government orders a massive infusion of cash, warns a Queen's University study to be released today.

Many a months ago I said that I'm ashamed of Canadian goverment's behaviour. Well, one more act, among many, of stupidity and moral depravity cloaked in BS correctness is not going to change neither my feelings nor my opinion.

Nobody is more shocked than me, a Canadian living in the US, at the antisemitic shift going on in Canada.

A root cause of this is a traditional Canadian strength - being friendly and not causing offense to others - that has become an obsessive disorder where nobody is allowed to criticize anything....that is nobody who is not one of the put upon minorities. Minorities, by virtue of their downtroddedness and automatic victim status, are allowed to say and do anything because, hey, "we" deserve it.

The recent reaching out to return an ex-Gitmo "terrorist" who claimed he wasn't one because he only got trained for 3 months in an AQ camp was a similar jaw-slamming-to-the-floor moment. The coverage in national papers which didn't point out how illogical his statements were and led with the obligatory solicitous government spokesmen welcoming him back to Canada made me ill.

Much of Canada is aligning with the EUnichs and is playing the same game of looking down the nose at the Americans - take it from a Canadian.

Sickening and frightening.

It's worth noting that the Canadian gov't didn't act this quickly or forcefully while that Canadian journalist was being beaten to death by the Iranian police a few months ago. Of course, had they done so, they might have risked offending Muslims, but there's nothing wrong with offending Jews.

They are a sick, pathetic bunch (excluding you Canadian LGFers, of course). Canada and everything made in Canada remains on my boycott list until the Liberals are thrown out of office there.

12 Athos  Fri, Dec 5, 2003 3:49:50pm

The saddest part is, even when Crouton leaves, nothing will change. La Nouvelle France has still surrendered its sovereignty.

My question is when will the remaining people in the country either sieze it back or pull secede and peition the US to accept the Western Provinces as future states.

West Froggistan (Canada) is now an international joke. Our Army, Navy and Air Force do not really exist. We are like the European "Rapid Reaction Force".

Existing on paper, but not in real life.

We spit on America, even though 90% of our population have a job, due to the $1Billion (US$) trade per DAY we do with the Dumb Americans.

Those same "Dumb Americans" pay for our much vaunted
"Free Health Care" and "Free Child Care" and "Free Social Programs"

No one up here seems to understand that we have these glorious social benefits because of THE DAMN AMERICANS.

What a nation of genuinley ignorant people we have become.

I am truly ashamed.

#11. Boycotting all Canadian products until we throw the Liberals out???

You gotta be kidding me! The liberals will never get thrown out. So ya better start buying your back bacon from China pal.

Canadians have been brainwashed and lobotomized into total submission to the liberal ideology of multiculturalism and tolerance. These are nice terms which really entail dismantling every institution that our ancestors carved out of the wilderness and replace them with whatever crackpot belief is held by the medieval savages that pour across our border every day. The tolerance part comes when we are expected to smile and nod our heads up and down like
demented idiots as the people who hate us, blow us up and otherwise kill us off in a thousand ways.

Oh Jesus. There I go again. Being intolerant. How un-Canadian of me.

This country is lost. It is finished. The majority of Canadians believe in the tripe that has been spoon fed to them by the Trudeau socialist rabble. Most Canadians just haven't a f**king clue about what the world is like outside of our little Hobbit village. They think that if you hand out teddy bears, maple leaf flags and hugs, everyone will play nice and love us back. In the meantime, who is manning the guns? Who is protecting the neighbourhood? The USA. That is who.


It's about time that Uncle Sam drop the protective umbrella and let these f***ing liberals get a taste of the big bad world. Better yet, I propose that the USA just invade and get rid of the socialist rabble. Send them all to the middle east with their fellow tolerant muslim friends.

I am ashamed of Canada.

31 Millie Woods  Fri, Dec 5, 2003 5:07:18pm

This is the same government which let Bruce Balfour rot in a Lebanese jail and sent a representative to interview William Sampson in a Saudi jail - said Foreign Affairs lackey then deciding that the Saudis had ample reason to detain and torture an innocent man. I hope Balfour and Sampson sue the government for conspiring in their respective wrongful incarcerations. Oh yes lest we forget, the same Canadian government standing on guard not for thee and me but for every jihadi thug and criminal also went to bat for two lefties involved in stirring up things throughout Central America finally ending up in a prison in Brazil for their involvement in a politically motivated kidnapping.

On the other hand, I was alternately shocked, pleased, and astounded, when I passed by the Hudson's Bay Company tonight in downtown Vancouver and saw a full window display of a Nativity scene.

How long before the observers of the "Holy" month of Ramadan file a complaint I wonder.

That must be the Reynald with these phone numbers (and no known email address)

Telephone:
(613) 995-1874
(613) 995-6829
Fax:
(613) 995-1405

Notice Reynald's aggressive stance with the Embassy! Very impressive. Now let's see them do that with Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria .........

Despite advising the Israeli Embassy to avoid commenting on a case in court, Reynald is giving the "alleged" criminal's lawyer advice by open statement.

Mr. Doiron said if Mr. Akkal's lawyer believes the alleged confession was obtained under duress, it's up to him to ask the court to suppress it.

Canada's Foreign Affairs (FA) Dept. is staffed by the same "kind" as State and the British equivalent.

I have met some of them and they can't even say "Israel" without wincing.


Hey, using quotes all the time is kind of fun. I can see why Reuters, BBC et al are hooked on "it."

34 Deathberg  Fri, Dec 5, 2003 5:13:40pm

Here in Canada, we have a special expression: "Brain drain". It refers to the phenomenon by which anyone who has an ounce of talent or a clue (eg Jim Carrey and Mark Steyn, respectively) will inevitably emigrate to the United States before their brains freeze. Someday I hope to do the same.

No, I think that the best course is really the first one. The US doesn't need to invade.

The Western provinces should demand their own Meech Lake (the restore Canada plan) or secede and become a territory of the US. 35 Years of Quebeckers running the country has killed it.

Let's see how well the EU will protect Canada and its people? Or how well the UN will protect it? Perhaps a deployment of French troops since the EU doesn't have an army - after all no UNSC resolution is ever needed for France to send troops somewhere.

Successful Western successionism? This probably wont happen in the forseeable future. Maybe in ten or twenty years when the prime minister is a hardcore socialist like Svend Robinson and 30% of the seats in the House of Commons are occupied by Muslims, the alienation felt by westerners will become acute enough to effect a change.

I'd be a damn sight better American that a lot of your anti American immigrants are.

[He clears his throat apologetically]

"Recruited" != "Approached". I freely admit that I have been approached by nutcases of several stripes: LaRouchies, Co$, Krishna-oids.

Yet none, none has ever recruited me.

There are plenty of reasons for concern re: the "camel's nose in the tent" [note: not an ethnic slur] as far as Shari'a in Canuckistan goes, and the guy might be guilty as sin--but this doesn't seem to be in that league. Anyway, my $0.03 on it.

Regarding the Canadian brain drain--Yes, one of my uncles is a former Canadian. He worked on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos during World War 2.

I imagine a lot of Americans are really Canadians who emigrated to the U.S. I personally know quite a few of them, all very successful people.

Aren't we being just a bit hard on Canada? After all, Hamas has a charitable wing.

/sarcasm off

To Canada the admission that Hamas is now targetting the US and Canada is something that Israel should hush up for a while, without jumping to conclusions and certainly without alerting anyone to what's being plotted.

44 Rayra Dogpiling on Tamar  Fri, Dec 5, 2003 7:15:39pm

Charles, you pointed out the ludicrous irony of the Canadian Govt taking umbrage at the Israeli Ambassador for making statements that do more than the accused's own lawyer - take it a step further in that they are doing so towards an Israeli Ambassador about events taking place in Israel.

If I were a canadian, and facing the dim prospects you're facing....I wouldn't wait for an invitation to cross the border. I would be a canuck wetback in a heart beat!
One of the things that is worrisome with the way the Canadian govnt is leaning, being influenced by the [bigoted word]s...when will they decide to try an oil embargo against us? Has anyone thought about the repercussions of that?

47 Devon Hill  Sat, Dec 6, 2003 12:45:15am

My fellow Canadians have already expressed better then I at how I am feeling as a member of this country........I am ashamed.......I loathe and hate what Canada now stands for........

But remember my Dear American and Israeli friends......out West there are tons of people that support you......and even down in Ontario...

Like one of my fellow Canadians said, we have been killed by multiculturism and we must roll it back if our country is to survive....


I tell you this seriously.....if the Liberals when another majority, separatist talk will grow in fever in Alberta and I mean this........I would seriously get involved........I have some political connections to the Tory and Alliance parties here and I have a vision....

The fight would be horrendous but if one segment of the masses of Canadians are bright enough to see through these lies, it is the conservative Albertans...


Either we get away from this confederation or America needs to invade us.......I shiver at what this country has become...

To be encouraged I spoke with my best friend last night, Fareed, who is an Ex Muslim and now a Christian and he agreed One Hundred percent about the vile Canada has become and how sickening the increase in Jew Hatred around the world is...........

We have both talked about moving to America.....all I can say is that I am damned thankful to be living in Alberta......

Screech Weasel: adj n: Term used to describe a person or persons of a poltical organization that shows a preponderance towards simplistic slogans, boorish behavior, and the utter incapacity to accept that ones perceptions and beliefs may actually be incorrect.

This condition is further exacerbated by intractable behavior and a exceedingly high resistance to accept outside data as a possible source of information when forming an opinion. The typical reaction to said information is usally repetition of ones current stated position (increasing in volume and vehemence with each repetion) and denegration of the outside data/source as inaccurate or attributing a sinister motive to the source of the information, to the point of absurdity.

Modern Examples of this particular form of mild psychosis include many supremacist Groups such as The White Aryan Nations, socialist groups such as ISM or International ANSWER, and any other group that declares itself to have an All Knowing Truth or access to aformentioned Truth.

You are welcome.

51 Allaah FUBAR!  Sat, Dec 6, 2003 7:07:02am

Canada has a population that is growing only due to emigration. The ethnic populations in centers such as Toronto now surpass the white population. Ghettos are appearing. Armed ethnic gangs (Chinese, Tamils, Vietamese, Jamacian, Russian...) are appearing in greater numbers and the police are ineffective.
As in Southern California, when the ratio of ethnics to whites, hits a visible level (Scientific American did a social study on this a few years ago), I belive it is 5 to 3, that perception will cause the whites to flee the area.

Canada is on its way to becoming a basket case, ethnically divided country.

52 Judith Gordon  Sat, Dec 6, 2003 1:16:09pm
when will they decide to try an oil embargo against us

Actually you better worry more about a hydro power embargo.

Anyway, I happen to like being Canadian. I like our winters. They make us polite and peaceful. When it's -30C it's hard to excited about anything you need to go outdoors to do, including suicide bombing someplace, so I think even the hamanicks cool off up here.

Seriously did anyone see the two amazing flying pig moments on CBC last night?!?

1) A reporter from CBC actually filmed the outside of the house of the family this "I'm not a Canadian Hamasnick, I only talk to them, shoot their guns off, and examine their explosives" jerk, was looking for his prospective bride in. On the wall by the front door is a six foot green Hamas flag. They asked the potential future terrorists supporting daddy-in-law how it got there and he said he didn't know. Somebody just painted it there. The reporter actually smirked. I mean her attitude let on she didn't buy it.

2) Later they interviewed the author of "The Trouble With Islam" on CBC!!! She actually said, on air, live and for real, so everybody could hear outloud on CBC TV "The world should be examining what Muslim leaders are doing to their own people at least as closely as they do Israel's actions" and the set didn't explode! The roof didn't fall in! The floor did not even drop out! They didn't bleep her over for speaking obscenity.

Sometimes pigs do fly. No doubt they will need to do a whole hour long special on "Women and Islam, the Joy of the Veil" to make up for that major slipup.

You wrote that western Canada might break away

[m]aybe in ten or twenty years when the prime minister is a hardcore socialist like Svend Robinson and 30% of the seats in the House of Commons are occupied by Muslims.

You do know, right, that Svend Robinson is from British Columbia and that BC with Alberta receive the most immigrants in Canada after Ontario?
