I agree with the fearmongering. I just think "you guys are stupid", more than anything. Well, actually, mostly I'm thinking "stop wasting time with this nonsense and get on with governing the country". But honestly, I think this is a lot of bravado and big talk intended to demonstrate to Israel in a public fashion that the Canadian government has their backs, and none of it is likely to be acted on.

The notion that "other countries are just as bad" is pretty silly. There are plenty of human rights violators whose relative moral culpability is debatable, if you want to waste time on that sort of debate. Are falun gong protestors racist against Asians because they're not splitting their time protesting the treatment of women in Saudi Arabia?
