I support Israel!
OK, that’s it. I can’t take it anymore, I’ve got to come forward and voice my point of view.
I was trying to lay low on this, not really knowing what to think about the conflict for the past week or so, but with all the anti-Israel awful stuff I’ve been reading and hearing in Québécois French-speaking media and by U.N.-worshipping, magically-thinking, jew-hating, and, worst of all, Hezbollah-supporting liberal peaceniks about this conflict, I just can’t keep my mouth shut anymore. I hope that they get the message someday. You just don’t negotiate with a terrorist faction backed by countries whose main ambition is to have Israel destroyed…
So here it is for all to see, the flag of Israel, in all its glory, symbolizing my position in the conflict:
I FIRMLY AND STRONGLY SUPPORT THE NATION OF ISRAEL IN ITS FIGHT AGAINST INTIFADAH-FUELED INJUSTIFIED VIOLENCE, DECADES OF RANDOM ACTS OF TERRORISM DIRECTED AT CIVILIANS AND ISLAMOFASCISM AS A WHOLE!
So there you have it. No freaking wiggle room. Fuck creating a Palestinian State if they want to act like total asses. Compromises work both ways, buddies.
In thinking like I do, I oppose myself to a great majority of my fellow Québecers. I feel Israel is well within its right to drop bombs on Southern Lebanon considering what’s happened over these past years with Hezbollah. I am deeply sorry for the people of Lebanon who have absolutely nothing to do with this, but it has to be done. And if at least Lebanese leaders didn’t harbor or provide a hideout for Hezbollah terrorists, maybe they wouldn’t have to incur Israel’s wrath today.
But what irks me even more is the incessant criticism of Harper’s position in the conflict, which, by the way, strongly resembles mine. Speaking of which, here’s what Thursday, July 20th’s copy of Le Journal de Québec said about it, on page 2: "So, Stephen Harper’s lack of initiative in rescuing Canadians in Lebanon and his quite hasty condemnation of Hezbollah have cost him serious support."
WHAT? His quite hasty condemnation of Hezbollah? What are these people smoking? Who’s going to believe such a thing? And exactly whose support has this cost him? Islamofascist grassroots movements in Canada, perhaps? He can very well do without this kind of support, for Hezbollah is, after all, a terrorist movement which HAS TO BE CONDEMNED AT ALL COSTS.
But wait, there’s worse.
According to a recent poll, "Two out of three Québecers (67%) do condemn Stephen Harper’s position, which supports Israel’s operation in Lebanon, while only 48% of Canadians disapprove of it."
It sounds as if in Québec, we prefer the random bombings of Israeli civilians by Islamofascists that would love to see the Hebrew state destroyed rather than the self-defensive riposte of a westernalized, democratic country like Israel.
Pitiful. Shamfully pitiful.
I can only cringe at the thought of which policies and treaties an independent Québec would be pushing forward if it had the chance.

Good one!
I think many more “Quebecers” are on your side than you know (and I live in Ontario). I’ve added your site to my blogroll.
Take care…

Pardon me while I wipe the tears of laughter from my eyes. Nicely put.

You raise a good point for those who are pondering the idea of separation. If the people of Quebec support terrorists such as Hezbollah, this would create a need for Canada to monitor an independent Quebec very closely as we could be victims of terrorist actions, although I honestly can’t imagine that happening (I was only a baby during the FLQ crisis).

Don’t mix things up, Paul MacPhail. It doesn’t have anything to do with Quebec separatists as terrorists. You are making a link that should not be made. Many people support Hezb’Allah who are not nationalists. Many of these supporters simply are Liberals blinded to the threat of islamofascism. Québécois are as a group more liberal than their English-Canadian counterparts. That’s all there is to it.

Wow. As a Zionist, Jew, and supporter of Israel, I thank you for your courageous stand. You’re a rare bird here in Quebec.
