‘Canada does not stand behind Israel, it stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel’

Love the fact that Canadian officials aren’t afraid of standing behind Israel before the world stage in Jerusalem. I just wish we supported Israel as enthusiastically as they do:

ARUTZ SHEVA – John Baird, Canada’s foreign minister, who is considered a staunch ally of Israel, met early Monday afternoon with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.

Netanyahu welcomed Baird and lauded him as “a great fighter for peace and security, and a great warrior for truth.”

Baird told Netanyahu that he is aware that Netanyahu’s father had a great influence on his personal and public life. “My grandfather left Canada in 1943 in order to fight in Europe,” he added. “He remained in the Canadian armed forces for 25 years after the war. The great struggles of his generation were the fight against fascism and then the war against communism, during the Cold War era.”

“Well, our generation’s great struggle is against terror, and too often, the state of Israel and the Jews worldwide stand at the front lines of this struggle. As I have said in the past – Canada does not stand behind Israel – it stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel.”
