National Post- Canada’s UN ceasefire vote reveals what we’ve become — undependable, unprincipled and foolish
The vote on Tuesday was yet another attempt to isolate and pressure Israel, and this time Canada colluded.
Politics is the art of the possible and at the UN not much is possible. Not much was ever changed by a vote by the general assembly.
It hardly needs to be said that the call for a ceasefire is a delusion. Even if Israel recognized the point made by Canada’s Global Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, that its actions “only enhance the cycle of violence,” with whom would it negotiate a signed agreement?
