"These statements are irresponsible, contrary to Canadian values To cast doubt on the Holocaust and to suggest that Israel be 'moved' to Europe, the United States or Canada is completely unacceptable to the Canadian people."

Good for Paul Partin.

This is the same Paul Martin, by the way, who last month asserted: "Israel's values are Canada's values." Good Gawd! What better proof is there that Canada's Foreign Ministry is under Zionist occupation?

What a nonsensical rhetorical question.

First, the Nov. 29, 1947, "Partition Plan (UN General Assembly Resolution 181) was never ratified by the Security Council, and thus any division of Palestine into Jewish and non-Jewish areas was never legal.

That majority of national boundries were never ratified by the security council, and that's true even if you only look at nations that were created after the UN Security council came in to existence. The UN is not a world government. Its a forum where the governments of the world can come together and try to reach an agreement but it isn't sovereign over the world, and countries are not dependent on its blessing for their physical existence or their legitimacy.

Second, the General Assembly had no right under the UN Charter to take land from one people (Arabs) and give it to another people (European Jews).

It wasn't taken from the Arabs. The Arabs were not the rulers of the land. In terms of ruling over the land it was Ottoman land and than British land. Even in terms of ownership a lot of the land was owned by Jews/Israelis before the creation of Israel.
