Jewish people have contributed a great deal. I am not denying it. There are many great Jewish people, and many of them do not support what the Israeli government is now doing. I think that the whole situation is not as simple as to say we like Jews better than Arabs, therefore we should support Israel. BTW I've met unpleasant Jewish people as well. I probably wouldn't want to move into a Muslim area of the country. You know I think that Canada is better off without large numbers of immigrants, and especially not from countries that have lots of hatred, corruption, and conflict. But that really isn't the point in this debate. Raising the level of extremism and not dealing with our foreign policy fairly is not in our interests.
