Harper pledges continued support for Israel
|
Stephen Harper reinforced his strong support for Israel and its
right to defend itself.
“When it comes to dealing with a war between Israel and a
terrorist organization, this country and this government cannot and
will never be neutral,” Harper told B’nai Brith Canada’s annual
awards dinner last week, eliciting a standing ovation from more than
1,000 politicians, businesspeople and Jewish community leaders.
Instead, the prime minister told the crowd that Israel “can count
on Canada’s steadfast support, encouragement and friendship,” and he
urged all Canadians to be “guided by our values: freedom, democracy,
human rights, the rule of law and the uncompromising opposition to
terrorism.”
His wife was a Jewish girl, her maiden name was
Maureen Tesky.

Israel Is The Victim
“The State of Israel, a democratic nation, was attacked by
Hezbollah, a terrorist organization. In fact, a terrorist
organization listed illegal in this country,” Harper said, noting
that Canada is fighting terrorists in Afghanistan and that police
have arrested a group of alleged terrorist plotters in Toronto.

Harper Says Avoid Negative Reports
“I understand that with the news reports of the day, and the
sound of battle, the images of destruction and the suffering of
innocents, it is sometimes difficult to see and keep the focus on
what is truly at stake.
“But the fact is this: those who attacked Israel, and those who
sponsored such attacks, don’t seek merely to gain some leverage, to
alter some boundary or to right some wrong. They seek what they and
those like them have always sought: the destruction of Israel and
the destruction of the Jewish people.

By Protecting Israel We Protect Canada
Those who seek to destroy the Jews, who seek to destroy Israel,
will for the same reason ultimately seek to destroy us all, and
that, my friends, is why Canada’s new government has reacted with
speed and spoken with clarity on recent events in the Middle East.”
After Harper’s speech, B’nai Brith executive vice-president Frank
Dimant told him: “Every Shabbat, every Saturday, we recite [a]
prayer for you, Mr. Prime Minister. I believe that the Almighty has
answered our prayers.”
