When the ambulances are pulling people out of warzones... yeah, it's not a surprise at all that some get hit.

The people in that video are elected racist xenophobic officials representing Israel. And the rallies and their message was despicable and the cheering that followed was sickening.

These are the people of Israel. How can they claim to be a democracy when their people act and treat people like that and are supported by their government?

You said my point was foolish while making a foolish point yourself. If there are these type of people in America as you stated they definitely aren't supported by elected officials in the government.
Well then Canadians must be terrible, we elected Rob Anders and he called Nelson Mandela a terrorist.

(Seriously though: Calgary West, you're terrible people.)

Note that with proportional representation it is far easier for a few crazies to get in - but they are not representative of the population as a whole.

That's utter nonsense. Hamas is firing rockets because Israel exists.

I guess this must not apply to me because I'm not unbridled or unbalanced, but I voted for Nenshi so...

I'm not anti-Muslim, and anti-Hamas. I'm also anti-settlement, but you can take back a settlement. You can't take back a rocket.
