Israel has no significant economic exchanges with Canada (America) and performs no significant geopolitical service of benefit to Canada(America); a Canada (America) with virtually no economic ties with the Middle East and a Canada that is a net exporter of oil and gas.
Zionism represents itself as a political movement concerned principally with the establishment of a state in Palestine to be controlled by and for Jews. It began in the late 19th Century and attained its stated objective with the creation in 1948 of the state of Israel by the United Nations (at the insistence of the United States and without the agreement of existing Middle Eastern states). Subsequently Israel doubled the amount of territory it controlled by means of its illegal occupation of the West Bank in the 1967 and 1973 wars.
In its current form Zionism seeks to dominate all of Palestine and the Middle East by means of violence and the threat of violence (using weapons manufactured and purchased with billions of dollars of "aid" supplied by the United States at taxpayer expense) and to maximize its influence in world affairs and in world history, principally by means of control of the government of the USA (primarily by blackmailing its many corrupt politicians), at the expense of the social well being not only of the Palestinians but of the peoples of all lands.

Again a word of caution to those who post here. It is the JOB of some who post here, to sidetrack and subsequently attempt to hijack this thread. Try to avoid their methods of personal insults and mass "pack" attacks. Remember, this phenomena (the thread topic) is essential to their success, worldwide. So beware.
It effectively states the basic premise for an open discussion on this same phenomena that is occurring here in the United States.
"Here we have Israel as an internationally recognized thug, keeper of the largest open-air prison on earth, regularly practicing war crimes against civilians, targeting civilian infrastructure and continuously disregarding the Geneva Conventions – virtually unanimously denounced by the international community, by every human rights watch group on the globe, and by international civil society for the last many decades – and how do Canadian politicians and parliamentarians respond?"
Please note that those in opposition to these positions are typically characterized by attacking the poster and not the post. They will come in waves and attempt to incite anger and ramped up rhetoric in attempts to close down the thread.
Please avoid their ruse. Stay on topic. And report any particularly vile insults to the moderators.
As I stated earlier, the forces behind this revolt are keenly aware of the media "spin doctors" thirsting to paint this as an ad hoc rebellion. And subsequently have gone to great lengths to ensure that this is seen as a PEACEFUL TRANSITION.
Sorry Ms, If you read back an hour ago this gentleman and I were exchanging ideas relevant to Albertaghosts insults and accusations. This continuity in thought stems from my assertion that NOW THAT MUBARAK IS GONE WILL ISRAEL TAKE BACK THE SINAI PENINSULA , That Ms. IS on topic.
Then consider the amount of times the United States has refused to endorse United Nations Resolutions critical of Israel. When as much as 97% of the rest of the members endorse those same censors.
"The Israel Lobby and US foreign policy" by John Mearsheimer professor of political science at Chicago University and Stephen Walt professor of International relations at the Kennedy school of goverment at Harvard University. Published an late August 2007. It was a new York Times best seller. Initially they were commissioned to conduct a study into this subject but found when they went to release it it was rejected. Incensed by this they wrote a book from the material they had collated.
