Canada to Chide Israeli Ambassador

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.
