Antisemitism plays a huge role in the views of the world's governments when it comes to Israel.

Well for one the United Nations thinks that this war should end. The US keep vetoing any resolution though.

The Russian condemnation is fairly funny considering thier actions in Chechnia (sp?), the French and thier continual interferance in world wide affair, and the fact that the Russians and French make a great deal of money in the Arab world in supplying weapons.

Obviously Hezbollah is at fault for starting this war. They deserve most of what they get. Holding the entire Lebanese population hostage is what I think is wrong.
Just like Russia and France are supporting these countries for their personal interests, so is the US in terms of Isreal. I just don't understand what personal interests Canada has in supporting Isreal.
