A Moral Compass

Uncategorized 104 Comments

Un-Liberal Prime Minister Stephen Harper, speaking in Oakville today:

Ahmadinejad’s declarations, particularly recently, particularly…not just the detention of Canadian citizens, not just the flagrant abuse of human rights, but his recent declarations – just disgraceful, insulting declarations denying the holocaust – there is no way I’m going to permit any official of the Government of Canada to be present and give any legitimacy to remarks by a leader like that.

President Ahmadinejad has said things, particularly about the state of Israel, the Jewish people, and the holocaust, that are absolutely repugnant. It is unfitting that somebody like that would be giving those kind of remarks before the United Nations General Assembly. Canada does not want to be equivocal at all in terms of our view on that; we find it disgraceful, unacceptable, and we’re going to be absolutely clear on that. There are other things that bother us as well beyond these repugnant comments; also, obviously, the crackdown in Iran on all kinds, any kind of legitimate dissent; the fiasco around the elections is quite disturbing. As well, the holding of a Canadian journalist – Mr. Bahari, I think it is – without charge continues to be unacceptable (and) we continue to demand his release. But as I say, there are times when things are being said in this world that it is important that countries that have a moral compass stand up and make their views known, and our absence there will speak volumes about how Canada feels about the declarations of President Ahmadinejad.

Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister.

  1. Ignatieff did NOT agree with PMSH’s snub of Iran. He spoke the usual weenie weasel words of how the UN is the best hope for world peace and we all have to work together,blah,blah,blah. The left’s version of reaching for moral superiority by accepting and tolerating evil is so wearisome,and so destructive to all.

  2. Is this the “‘Confidential’ Tory Memo” KatFurMeat has up?
    This browser does not go to the K-cesspool.
    …-
    “No Ban on Cat and Dog Fur Imports: Memo
    An internal government memo suggests that the federal government has no plans to ban imports of cat and dog fur.
    The memo shows that some government officials pushed Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz not to ban the fur imports, fearing it could undermine support for the seal hunt.”
    The memo, obtained by the Canadian Press, says ‘a ban could have implications for the farmed fur industry in Canada and for Canada’s position against the banning of Canadian seal products by other countries.’”

    Why looky here.
    new is a truther.

  4. Darn that Harper – he makes it really difficult to stay annoyed with him. Time to write another cheque.
    Oh, and I see “new” is not only a “troofer”, but does the jewish blood libel as well. You, “new”, are beneath contempt.

  5. SYF,yeah,new is a truther. Normally I detest ‘truthers’,but in new’s case it is somewhat acceptable. It is one thing for a devout muslim to believe that their death cult is an innocent player in the 9/11 massacre.It is a completely different thing when the truthers are almost normal people who walk amongst us,spewing their incomprehensible theories.

  6. Please people…remember how proud you are of PMSH on this day…and when an election does come…and it will…get out to the polls and vote for your Conservative candidate…even if it means holding you nose on some of the things that have been done that you don’t agree with.
    The man is a world class leader and what a total shame he doesn’t have a majority government!

  7. I’m enjoying the delicious irony of an important speech from a humble Tim Horton’s coffee shop, having more impact than all the purple piffle that came from the UN podium today.
    Prime Minister Stephen Harper…master chess player, brilliant statesman, and spokesman for Canadians.

  9. GOD is my witness I never hated anybody for he is Jewish or christian
    I hated dumb player racsism people who waste so many smart people and they think they know more than us
    usually people pay for land to buy or agree over mediation over land transfer
    cirtificate of your grand father grand father grand father in 1400 live in that location does not give them ok to take the land even if he has some still playing grid ask for more or jewish blood does not made you jewish land
    this is ridiculs
    in Canda may be Jewish Canadain has more property I heard or in USA in compare with land in Isreal the land of Isreal is not to help any Jewish but also to defame all Jewish in world
    there is not leadership in Isreal all are BS
    I am not stupid to believe this fight in Isreal is related to Jewish and Muslim issue at all
    this is fight over grid of land that is all.
    owner of Sep 11 got 7 billion dollar can built 200 building to cover all 13 million jewish in world to relocated in Isreal
    why he is waiting for and become rich
    just think not fight
    if you are not understand this man is nobody and he is not Jewish then you also must be stupid like him when MOses did what Natanyahu did
    come on!
    but this Natayahu god know what hack he is doing he born in Isreal then 25 yeare grow up with AMerican culture live in USA then back during CLinton shake hand to give land back and now back to Mrs. Clinton to bring land back and always he has excus firs he said Arafat must dead then he said Hama then he said Hezbulala then he said Iraq then he said Iran
    just give teh damb land back to people
    tell all world leader just shut up just stop fighting and back to work with no delay and stop all war as soon as possible and give peole life you are taking from them over century
    ordinary peopel feel frustrated seeing this mess

  10. Your PM, Mr. Harper hit the nail hard and squarely on the head.
    You all have every right to be proud of him.
    Made the other “world leaders”, save one, look like the moral midgets they are.
    The “save one” is Václav Klaus. He did some important truth-telling too.

  11. Proud to be a Canadian today.
    But in other news, Prime Minister Stephen Harper only drink six cups of coffee a YEAR, what’s up with that?

  12. Proud to be a Canadian today.
    But in other news, Prime Minister Stephen Harper only drinks six cups of coffee a YEAR, what’s up with that?

  13. News, just because you can type 100 words per minute (with errors) doesn’t mean you have to.
    Still, I think the shoe thing is the best idea yet. Maybe next time?

  14. I also need to say my last recommended to both Israel and Palestine while both are negotiating still now in this week. I know value of land well
    and listen to Iran to have one governmetn and country not two countries seperated
    anybody listen to Iran you will get better deal
    message of Iranian is not from Ahmadinage he is only hears past 6 years in power. Iranina in past 50 years told Palstine and Isreal to live as one big country and do not seperated or divorce but you are listen but consider it for last time if you can. this is benefit both parties
    I am not saying this because of Iran phobia said it
    ===
    state of Israel and state of Palestine to
    made both state under one country
    I give you one example
    when you have 200000 sq of big lots you can make two big mansion houses
    now if you made this big piece of land as one land but two state like USA
    like Russia province like Canada
    the value of land of two state of Palestine and Israel become more recognized
    this system can be recognized
    one government two seat and two province or state and people can freely walk by this is better
    to gain better value of land
    I am not talking about Jewish or Muslim or Christian I am talking only focus
    how to make land more useful and more accessible and etc…
    this two group two language two national live side by side works in other country
    this can work in Isreal/Palstine
    for sake of freedom of all people killed so far
    put new name for join of this two state
    call one name for big country
    such as Free “Plasisra” or any name you want may be funny one
    choose country name and put two state over it and finish fighting and live in peace end of story because you time is finished this can work I know it can.
    if not just seperated as fast you can and stay from each other under skin for at least 4 years to heal your heart.

  15. I am proud of Mr Harper, I voted for him and will continue to do so. Vaclav Klaus is already my hero and has been for some time, for his outspoken stance on the AGW scam.

  16. I don’t know about the rest of you but I felt about 40 years younger when the Canadian delegation walked out. My word knowing right from wrong and doing the right thing. Not because it was political but because it was the right thing to do. I guess it is how the tea partiers feel about trying to get their country back. Walking the line and just being there to be counted.

  17. The Canadian walk out was prominently covered on Shepard Smith’s program (Fox News) as it was happening. Made me feel damn proud!

  19. Caught some comments from our American friends on a right wing conservative web site. Sounded really good on our Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
    I mentioned the 1979 hostage taking of helpless Embassy employees by the so-called Revolutionary Guard and students.
    Yes, Ken Taylor got six Americans out of that mess and made them into “Canadians”.

    I am sorry to say that the more “reaching out” the President of the United States does, the more strident the reached out to, will become.

  22. Without you, PM Harper, the other eleven countries would not have had the balls to stand up to the world’s dictators.
    Next, call the United Nation’s bluff on global warming.
    The 11 who followed suit?
    Argentina, Australia, Britain, Costa Rica, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand … and the United States.

  24. Simply put, Mr. Harper showed them how to do it, Obama showed them how not to do it.
    Pathetic when you look at which of those gets more (and better) press coverage.

  25. randall…I took a look at CTV with Lloyd…huge disappointment of course since they sliced the speech from PMSH, dealt more with Iggy’s question, and went on and on about Ghadafi’s speech going on and on…
    Your question: They gave a long shot of the crowd at Tim Horton’s ..looked like about 30-40 in suits.

  26. Finally a politician shows up with a pair. ‘Bout time.
    I voted for Stevie last time. I’ll vote for him next time. Stuff like this is why.
    I’d like to see a bunch more stuff like this, CPC guys. A big bunch more.

  27. And in one of the most stunning displays of patriotism ever, CTV Newsnot showed the Iranian rant live!
    Boycott their sponsors!

  28. I am mighty proud of Prime minister Harper today. See what he is capable of when not sipping the green tea. Has dinner jacket finished killing his own citizens yet?

  30. PMSH has some jam and 11 other nations follow suit.
    Mr. Ahmadinejad makes the comedic denial of the Holocaust while admitting some 60 million perished in WWII.
    What’s the big stretch to believe that 6 million were of Jewish extraction, except to further his apparently apocalyptic agenda of ‘wiping Israel off the map’?

  31. Cbc is spinning this to be a Harper gaffe. Newsworld says that while Obama was talking about bringing the world together,Harper was talking in a doughnut shop. TOTALLY IGNORED THE POINT,they did not play anything of Harper’s speech about why he was there and not kissing ass at the UN. They played it as he was running around NY scoring cheap political points,instead of making a statement against barbaric states. The cbc must change.

  33. All I will say about Harper is I haven’t felt embarrassed since he’s been PM. Unlike PET & his pony boy’s of an an ancient summer. He does not eat Dictators or Jew haters turds like the rest. Than turn on Canadians for expressing righteous disgust at this type of sycophancy. Also I thank God we have a PM who’s an economist & Pro Israel Leader. Nice too not to here about scandal after scandal.
    Being Human Harper of course is no saint of infallibility.
    All said & done I would rather have a PM who makes honest mistakes, than a gaggle of crooks who turn on their own electorate.

  36. God Bless PM Stephen Harper.
    The leadership he has shown today will be remembered at the next election, to be sure.
    It was right and moral, and I am very proud that he had the guts to say what so many of us have been wanting to hear from our leaders.
    You have done Canada proud, Mr. Prime Minister.

  38. The Canadian delegation, led by Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon, walked out at the start of Ahmadinejad’s address. Several other delegations, including lower-level U.S. diplomats, left during the speech. (diplomats soon to be looking up at the Ziebart side of the bus)
    I’d be a lot prouder if Mr. Harper announced tomorrow that all our servicemen/women will be back home by Christmas.
    As a former member of the CAF I demand to know why one more drop of Canadian blood be shed fighting under the command of this illegitimate, treasonous, and utterly incompetent POTUS.

    “Who gives a rats ass”, shrugged Ulcer.
    “It’s a state secret”, Punk whispered like it was a state secret.
    “Like I said, who gives a rat’s ass”, repeated Ulcer, shrugging.

    “Have another drink”, shrugged Ulcer.
    “I could be wrong, but I hear the ads were shot by Kinsella and Deacey. Scripted by Iggy.”
    “So Iggy, the great international auteur, reduced to writing his own ad ?”
    Punk shrugged.
    “Kinsella’s great with a handheld. I loved his first-person homage outside the chinese food eatery. His guppy monologues are the stuff of legend. He’s a natural behind the camera, a brilliant raconteur, a genius of the lens. But DEACEY, the former Imperial Tobacco lobbyist ? What’s Iggy doing hanging around a tobacco lobbyist ?
    Punk shrugged.”

  41. qwerty1: “But in other news, Prime Minister Stephen Harper only drink (sic) six cups of coffee a YEAR, what’s up with that?”
    Maybe he prefers tea … or a stiff drink — not a bad idea when you look at the mendacious media gauntlet the poor guy has to run every day.
    That “stiff drink” could be Cape Breton tea, put on to boil in the morning and still on the back burner at dinner. Ya’ can stand a spoon in ‘er.

  43. ron in kelowna: Re the eleven: How come Canada’s not mentioned? The only C-country is Costa Rica.
    Huh?

  44. “Ahmadinejad and Gadhafi’s speech: Where is Kanye when you need him?”
    Who needs Kanye when Obama, the son of Gadhafi, struts his Communist Crap
    Obama is my President!.. I am not his people! The bugger fits with the other delusional dictators.
    Obama follows the Nazi play book… Next up an Olympics for Chicago… You can’t make this stuff up.

  47. Thanks for the clarification, ron.
    I can’t remember if the item made it clear that Canada was the leader. I sure hope so!

  48. First keep the peace no bombing and killing then talk and start one at the time start from border and trade and military and etc…
    ‘Palestinians insist talks should start where they left off with the previous Israeli government headed by Ehud Olmert, who was open to discussing sensitive issues such as the return of Palestinian refugees.Benjamin Netanyahu, the rightwing Israeli prime minister, was quoted on Israeli radio as reiterating that “peace hinges first” on the Palestinian acceptance of Israel as a Jewish state.A big difference appears to be what issues will be on the negotiating table once Middle East peace talks – suspended in December when Israel launched its onslaught in the Gaza Strip – would resume.”
    “Demilitarized State Netanyahu said he would reach a peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority if Israel’s security needs are met through a demilitarized Palestinian state. “We can take further risks for peace only if we have confidence that we can defend ourselves,” he said. “
    Palestine said in 3 weeks 1300 Palestinian are died and Israel identified good Muslim and kill them to allow only bunch of abused mentally stay who are poor and depressed to accept their force for gain land unfairly. this is distortion to force Palestine to take order of land of state of Israel before border get agreed by both party to force them to sign agreement and delay and play their UN system to lie to public and denies facts
    when Netanyahu talked he denies do many facts by lie about them too. how to stop military in Palestine when Israel are not recognized Palestine original land state by kill them daily
    “Netanyahu’s speech / Cheapening the Holocaust By Gideon Levy
    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cheapened the memory of the Holocaust in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday. He did so twice. Once, when he brandished proof of the very existence of the Holocaust, as if it needed any, and again when he compared Hamas to the Nazis. If Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denies the Holocaust, Netanyahu cheapens it. Is there a need of proof, 60 years later? Or, the world might think, is the denier right? and it is doubtful that any historian of stature would buy the comparison the prime minister made between Hamas and the Nazis, or between the London Blitz and the Qassam rockets on Sderot. In the Blitz, 400 German bombers and 600 fighter planes killed 43,000 people and destroyed more than one million homes.
    Hamas’ Qassams, perhaps the most primitive weapon in the world, have killed 18 people in eight years. Yes, they sowed great terror – but a Blitz? And if we can compare a poorly equipped terrorist organization to the horrific Nazi killing machine, why should others not compare the Nazis’ behavior to that of Israel Defense Forces soldiers? In both cases, the comparison is baseless and infuriating. Netanyahu began the speech as if he were chairman of the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial – Holocaust, Holocaust, Holocaust; his family and his wife’s family. Then he spoke in Shimon Peres’ terms, proposing a “rosy future” to humanity. No less demagogic was his attack on the Iranian regime. They shoot demonstrators there, he protested vehemently. As if they don’t do that in our Bil’in and Na’alin. Then came the kicker: Operation Cast Lead was a pinpoint attack. Israel telephoned thousands of people to tell them to leave their homes. Where to, Mr. Prime Minister? Into the sea? He said the IDF, which killed nearly 1,400 Palestinians, mostly civilians, exhibited unprecedented restraint.
    Moving on: We made peace with every Arab leader who wanted to, the premier said. What about Syrian President Bashar Assad, who has been knocking on doors for years, claiming he wants peace? No one has opened the doors. Talk of security and victims may still have buyers among the WIZO women of America, but that’s it. For a regional power that has almost every weapon in the world in its arsenal and is fighting primitive terror organizations, it is a bit difficult to be taken seriously when talking about security, especially when said security is only for Israelis. Then came our ancient right to the land and the unavoidable Biblical verses, in English and the original Hebrew, that always end the performance on such occasions – though Netanyahu, unlike his predecessors, did not pull out a skullcap at this crucial moment. That moment was supposed to move his listeners, but it left me, at least, unmoved by a propagandist prime minister. Hallelujah was heard last night only in Ramat Gan Stadium, at the Leonard Cohen concert ”
    “Netanyahu Shows Auschwitz Plans in Challenge to Iran -By Jonathan Ferziger
    Sept. 24 (Bloomberg) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu challenged Iran’s denial of the Holocaust in front of the United Nations, unfolding a blueprint of the Auschwitz death camp and holding Nazi orders for killing Jews. “Yesterday the president of Iran stood at this very podium and spewed his anti-Semitic rants,” Netanyahu said today in an address to the General Assembly opening meeting in New York. “Have you no shame? Have you no decency?” Netanyahu said. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has described the Holocaust as a fabrication and said Israel should be wiped off the map. The possibility that Iran is developing nuclear weapons has added to Israeli concerns about the threat from Iran. Netanyahu, 59, also defended his country against allegations of war crimes in a report by the UN Human Rights Council on Israel’s military offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip early this year. The prime minister said Israel sought to end rocket attacks on its communities, assaults he said the UN had ignored for years. “What a perversion of truth and justice,” Netanyahu said. “We were morally hanged and given an unfair trial to boot.” The Israeli leader ignored the issue of a proposed West Bank settlement freeze, backed by President Barack Obama, without which Palestinians say they won’t return to the negotiation table. Obama, in his own address to the General Assembly yesterday, said Israelis and Palestinians will have to compromise on some of their toughest disputes to reach a peace agreement that would give birth to a Palestinian state. Demilitarized State Netanyahu said he would reach a peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority if Israel’s security needs are met through a demilitarized Palestinian state. “We can take further risks for peace only if we have confidence that we can defend ourselves,” he said.

  49. Obama’s Middle East envoy, former U.S. Senator George Mitchell, is meeting separately with Palestinian and Israeli officials in New York and will follow up next week in Washington. The last round of formal peace talks broke up nine months ago when Palestinians walked out in response to Israel’s Gaza operation. Israel bombed the territory and later sent in ground troops to try to stop Hamas from firing rockets at Israeli population centers in the southern part of the country. About 1,300 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed in the 22-day conflict that ended in January.
    Hamas, an acronym in Arabic for the Islamic Resistance Front, is designated a terrorist organization by Israel, the U.S. and the European Union. The group refuses to recognize Israel. In his speech yesterday, Ahmadinejad lashed out at Israel and the U.S., saying some governments are backing “the crimes of the occupiers against defenseless women and children.” Netanyahu opened his address with a visual rebuttal to Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust denial. He held out a copy of the order for the “Final Solution” to kill the Jews of Europe that he was given during a trip to Germany last month, saying “Is this protocol a lie?” Then he opened the original construction plans for Auschwitz that he received in Berlin with the signature of Heinrich Himmler, Adolf Hitler’s deputy. “Are these plans of the camp where one million Jews were murdered a lie too?” he said. Netanyahu said the threat from Iran should concern the world because Israel isn’t its only target. “Perhaps some of you think this man and his odious regime only threaten the Jews,” Netanyahu said. “Well, if you think that you are wrong, dead wrong.” To contact the reporters on this story: Jonathan Ferziger in New York at jferziger@bloomberg.net ”
    + and “Netanyahu outlines the ‘lies’ Israel’s opponents tell
    September 25, 2009 .WASHINGTON (JTA) — Benjamin Netanyahu said he hopes the “adversaries of the Jews do their own personal accounting” between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.In a speech to Jewish leaders and others at the 92nd Street Y in New York, the Israeli prime minister said there are “three lies” that Israel’s opponents tell: that the Holocaust didn’t happen, that Israel has been the “aggressor in the conflict” and that “we are foreign colonialists in the Land of Israel.””We’re not conquerers, colonialists, strange interlopers from some faraway continent,” he said. “Israel is the land of our past and the land of our future.”Netanyahu asked that Jews light one additional candle this Yom Kippur — “a candle of truth and justice, for the Jewish people and Jewish state.”
    “
    U.N. as ‘House of lies’ : Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered blistering criticism of the United Nations from its podium today, and he touched on the theme again in a speech to Jewish leaders at the 92nd Street Y Thursday night.Netanyahu was introduced by Elie Wiesel, who he said “you don’t let them lie” about the Holocuast, and his remarks were on the theme that “we have to dispel the lies” about Israel’s past and present.He also told a very long story about meeting a Chasidic rabbi in New York during a previous visit to the United Nations.”‘You will go into a house of lies,’ – that’s how he called a particular institution,” Netanyahu said to laughter and applause.”
    and +”Netanyahu said yesterday Sep 24, 2009 talked in 4 areas:
    The speech comprised four interwoven sections. Ahmadinejad as a Holocaust-denier gave substance to the first part. ”
    my answer: they denied the land of palstine was originally was owened that land and they kill so many more than 1 million palstien and let go 6 million out of Palstin live aboard caused by 6 days war of Isreal helped by USA if all fact is deined by Isreal then in return Iran is also deines Holicsot only as return of they denied the other important fact and play to not focuse to their problems isnot holicost it is land of palstine they got not land of German they get them out Iran also think Israel act like nazi in sakeof land and materilistic reason to take land of palstine and oil and geographicla reason not for sake of religin is only excuse for them and USA.
    “Iran as a fundamentalist state that aspires for weapons of mass destruction was the focus of the second section. ”
    my answer: if all world take their nuclear today Iran agreed to join the crowd and say all their secret in order they give them inreiched nuclear for purpose of medical reason in fact Iran never attack any counry or send spy to Isreal or USA but they did therefore having some thing does not mean they acivtie that but if nobodyhas it and nobody kill they are take their wepoen down too
    “An attack on the Goldstone Report constitutes the third part, ”
    my answer:if muslim has law like food or dress or adultry not agree with gay and not kill innocent then if
    that get respected by nonMsulim toward Muslim countires therefore if Natan yahoo like to deal with gay in Isreal is permiteable by Jewish law then IRan are not going to interfer but Isral can not ask to Iran change Muslim law for them and modern the Isalm law by thier permison tha is not up to Iran to do so or Saudi this is law made by prophet must be keept people of Muslim are not allow law of islam get changed
    “and the willingness for peace with the Palestinians in its Bar-Ilan version provided the fourth part.
    ”
    my answer: the land of both are not divied fairly then divied base on 1947 and change some area made sense get mor from top to Palstin and bottom to Isreal they made the map ridiuls to me and abuive to Palstinina and not allow them to do trade or endanger security for both finihs this border line this month and shake hand have wall around your border and move and have their life. Iran respect neighbor and inside iran to give hem freedom of speech and stop their hate and criminal activities and Israel play game and repsec Muslim and stop defame and abuse toward Muslim and USA stop send CIA to have two face to have made two faced to direct Muslim children toward hate of them toward made up story for FOx news to made all restricted Muslim are terrrorist and Palstin stop suicide bombing and all hate from arab to nonMuslim and stop terorist acitivies
    =====
    “In the first three parts, Netanyahu placed the UN on trial: The UN is guilty of honoring a Holocaust-denier, the UN is guilty of the helplessness it shows vis-a-vis a nuclear Iran, the UN is guilty of the Goldstone Report, and the UN is guilty of not condemning Hamas’ aggression in Gaza. Give Netanyahu a good platform, a convenient enemy, and a charged issue to fight over, and he is at his best Published: 09.25.09, 16:43 / Israel Opinion

  50. Heads of state who deliver speeches at the United Nations have a tendency to aim too broadly, sink into diplomatic sentences that are official to the point of tedium, and cover everything without saying anything in fact.But this is not Netanyahu’s way. His speech Thursday was focused, clear, and pressed the buttons that the global media cannot ignore. They expected dramas from him, but he wasn’t dramatic. He did not rip up papers, he did not wave his arms, and he did not raise his voice. He was serious, grim, and incisive in appropriate measures. Netanyahu performed many rehearsals with this text before he went up to the podium. The rehearsals paid off.Some Israelis likely did not enjoy seeing the repeated references to the Holocaust motive. Netanyahu does not really think that the threat posed by Iran towards Israel is identical to the threat posed by Hitler towards European Jewry. Israel was established so that threats like that will not materialize. However, the Holocaust works in America. Criticism of the UN also works. The Americans despise the UN, and they know why.
    The speech was received with unusual attention. It was cut off by applause once, when Netanyahu spoke about peace and the prosperity he offers the Palestinians, and ended with relatively long applause. Naturally, the applause from the section where Jewish activists sat were more enthusiastic than the others.Netanyahu has good reason to positively sum up his visit to New York. This may have been possibly his best week since he was again elected as prime minister. The good news is that Netanyahu is self-confident to the point of haughtiness. This may also be the bad news.
    ”
    Palestinians from both Hamas and Fatah factions have criticized the speech of Israeli Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly as ‘bogus and unacceptable’.
    “Netanyahu spoke of the Holocaust but Israel committed the largest massacre of the century,” Hamas spokesperson, Sami Abu Zuhri, said in reference to Operation Cast Lead which resulted in the death of over 1,500 Palestinians and the injury of about 5,450 people in the impoverished Gaza Strip. He added the Israeli Prime Minister is seeking to justify the massacres in the blockaded coastal sliver, and that such falsehood cannot reverse confirmed war crimes against Gazans.
    Abu Zuhri further highlighted that Palestine is the homeland of the Arabs, the Palestinians and the Muslims, and will never be a Jewish land no matter what. Hamas legislator Mushier Al Masri, meanwhile, stated that Netanyahu does his utmost to cover up the Gaza manslaughter in the hope to twist the world logic and gain support for ‘Zionist terrorism”. The Palestinian Authority’s chief negotiator with Israel, Saib Erekat, also called Netanyahu’s demand that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state ‘unacceptable’. During his UN General Assembly speech on Thursday, Netanyahu referred to the Holocaust and the decision to annihilate the Jewish people during the Nazi era. He also reiterated his demands that the Palestinians must recognize Israel as a Jewish State as a precondition to resuming the stalled peace process.
    finally with 4 agenda in above peace must start from number 4 to numbe 1 which is give border and finish the rest not vice versa to kil and distortion to accept their abuse and their border line unfairly if Natan yaho can not do it this time to soem one else repalce natan yaho to do this.

    Others attending the meeting include Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Issues on the agenda include the fight against extremism, persistent energy sources and ways to foster socio-economic development in the Malakand district of Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier province, which borders Afghanistan. Later, Harper — who also sat down today for a private chat with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — heads to Pittsburgh for the G20 summit. “After dramatic UN speech, Netanyahu back in Israel,Published: 09.25.09, 15:05 / Israel News Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to Israel from New York, where he attended the UN General Assembly.

    Abbas and Netanyahu trade blame
    By Vita Bekker in Tel Aviv ,Published: September 25 2009 03:00 | Last updated: September 25 2009 03:00. Israeli and Palestinian leaders traded blame and demanded concessions from each other after their talks in New York this week with President Barack Obama of the US, in a sign of the hurdles he will face in his efforts for a quick resumption of peace negotiations. Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, said yesterday in an interview with the London-based al-Hayat news-paper that the Palestinians did not have “a common ground for discussion” with the Israeli government.He criticised Israel for its unwillingness to tackle core issues such as the future of Jerusalem and repatriation of Palestinian refugees.Mr Netanyahu, however, says bolstering the Palestinian economy and institutions in the West Bank should precede talks on final-status issues. some one else must talk to Iran and Palstin not Natanyahoo
