Zionist Appeasement: A Blight on the Canadian Political Landscape
by Kim Petersen
Ever since the Conservative Party formed a minority government in the ethnically cleansed territory designated Canada, an abrupt rightward shift has occurred in Canadian government policy.
The Conservative Party has chosen to openly support the zionist regime in the ethnically cleansed historical Palestine -- what the ethnic cleansers have renamed Israel.
But to target only the Conservative Party of Canada would be unfair because the other three major political parties in Canada are also infiltrated by Zionist appeasers. [1]
Former New Democratic Party (NDP) leader, Alexa
McDonough, attempted to defend herself from an accusation of supporting
zionist apartheid. Said she, "The NDP supports Palestinians' right to a
safe and secure homeland, and Israel's right to exist." [2]
McDonough
needs to unequivocally answer at least two questions:
- 1. What about
Palestine's right to exist? 2. Does McDonough insist that European
invaders have a right to establish an existential state on the
millennia-old homeland of indigenous Palestinians?
The
previous Liberal Party leader and prime minister, Paul Martin, went so
far as to state, "Israel's values are Canada's values." Undeniably,
history reveals that land theft through ethnic cleansing is a value
that Canada and Israel share.
Current Canadian prime minister
Stephen Harper has upped the ante in the public displays of
obsequiousness to Zionism. Painting other political parties as
"fair-weather friends" of Israel, Harper declared Israel would always
have a "steadfast friend" in a Canadian Conservative government.
Refusing
to be outdone, official opposition leader Stéphane Dion, nauseatingly
stated his Liberal Party "will continue to proudly support, as a
cornerstone of our foreign policy, the right of Israel to exist in
peace and security." [3]
The major parties in Canadian national
politics have engaged in a shameless pursuit of Jewish influence.
Zionism
is unquestionably racism, and Harper's Zionism points to a connection
with anti-Islam. Harper is a member of a protestant evangelical
denomination called the Christian and Missionary Alliance, which
depicts non-Christians (Muslims) as the "enemy." [4]
This marks a
continuation of the historical line from Canada's first prime minister,
the protestant Orangeman John A. Macdonald, a Conservative Party leader
who divulged his racist animus when he stated of the Métis:
- "These
impulsive half-breeds have got spoiled by this emeute (uprising) and
must be kept down by a strong hand until they are swamped by the influx
of settlers."
Harper supports "the influx of settlers" in
Palestine. He is forming an Israel Allies Caucus, which is "meant to
mobilize support for the State of Israel and promote Judeo-Christian
values." [5]
As well as, apparently, incorporating ethnic cleansing as
a Judeo-Christian value, it represents the creeping influence of
religion into the secular Canadian government. It also represents a
diminution for minority religions in Canada; although Judaism is
numerically a minority religion, it is promoted over numerically
greater Islam. Furthermore, when the percentage of Christians is on the
down-slide and the percentage of those people professing no religion is
increasing[6], why is the government turning away from secularism?
Although
support for ethnic cleansing is strong among Jews in Israel[7],
progressive Jews in Canada, under the national umbrella of the Alliance
of Concerned Jewish Canadians, have condemned the Israel Allies Caucus.
Despite this, many Canadian politicians are hell-bent on supporting
Zionism contrary to the will of "an overwhelming majority of Canadians
-- 77 percent" who indicated a preference for a "neutral foreign policy
in the Middle East." One wonders, however, what there is to be neutral
about in the case of ethnic cleansing.
The new pro-Zionist
lobby was made official in Ottawa by Harper and Canadian and Israeli
parliamentarians, including the notorious advocate of ethnic cleansing,
MK Benny Elon.[8]
In 1938, British prime minister Neville
Chamberlain promoted the Munich Agreement which accepted the annexation
of the Sudetenland (a region in Czechoslovakia with a majority of
German speakers) to Nazi Germany. Chamberlain referred to it as
"bringing peace with honor." Because Nazi Germany soon occupied all of
Czechoslovakia, this dishonored agreement has come to symbolize the
worse quality of appeasement.[9] Other major powers supported the
agreement, including Canadian prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie
King and the United States president Franklin D. Roosevelt.
It
is hardly surprising that a political party which mistreats the
Original Peoples would so openly and brazenly appease the ethnic
cleansers of historical Palestine. Such a party is a blight on the
Canadian political map, as are the other appeasing political parties.
The sad state of affairs is that, currently, a vote in a Canadian
federal election is a denial of Palestinian human rights.
