You both try to portray anyone who criticizes Israel's atrocious human rights record as being antisemitic including Jews like me. That's right. I'm Jewish on my mother's side. More or less confirmed now. Circumstantial evidence is now supported by legal docs. My maternal grandmother's family name was Sklar originally, before her Grandfather changed their family name, fled Russia to Poland and converted to Catholic.

If I pushed it, I'm pretty sure I could emigrate to Israel as a Jew and get full citizenship.

How do Israel's atrocious human rights match up to Syria- Egypt - Saudi- Bahrain- Qatar- Iran - Iran - North Sudan - Indonesia - Waiting for a literate reply.

As to being pushed to emigrate - C Ya.

Let me know when Canada starts unshakably supporting human rights abuses, war crime and crimes against humanity in these countries. Then I will write about those topics. Until then, I will continue to post references to reputable source which point out Israeli human rights abuses, war crimes and crimes against humanity not reported by Canada's MSM or condemned by our political leaders.

for example:
http://www.amnesty.org/en/region/israel-occupied-palestinian-territories/report-2012

I support our government's position regarding Syria. Our MSM has a strong anti-Syrian government slant, so Canadians are getting all the gory details.

Our MSM media does not report on the Israeli Palestinian conflict with the same level of detail and support for the victims as they do currently regarding the conflict in Syria. What's going on in Syria has been going on in Israel on and off for over 40 years.

By the way, CB claimed the Khadr's are antisemitic without posting a reference supporting his viepoint. I don't know whether they are or aren't. But I found nothing to confirm CB's belief. Can either of you two post a link proving the Khadr family hates Jews?

Oh where is Dancing Loon! She'd open her house up for the sweet boy.

I remember years ago she was saying how adorable the little Taliban boys holding up two finger "peace signs" in the madras in Pakistan in a documentary. I had to explain that they meant Victory... not peace.


JeeZus , be careful who you ask for. Dancing Loon - good name.

His Lawyers were adamant that his parole etc include keeping him away from the ones - Parents- Grandparents-that turned him into a terrorist- child soldier- call him what you will. They should be charged for child abuse, accomplice to murder, then sent FFn home. Yes- skip the jail time after sentencing- Off with ya.

I cannot see how anyone can disagree with my last point. What they (Parents-Grandparents) did was criminal-

You might be surprised how much sympathy I do have for Khadr.

Although NOT a child soldier (14 or younger), Khadr was definitely a brainwashed youngster when he was caught in the fight in which he was captured.

I do NOT believe he is guilty of murder. Throwing a grenade at the guys that just had a 2000 lb bomb dropped on you seems to me to be a natural action of one at war.

Now, the problem is that he should have been turned over to the locals for immediate execution........but he wasn't And so now he is our problem.

The question hinges on whether or not he has grown........is he still a Islamist (and therefore a threat), or has his political outlook matured???? I really don't want to find out in a burst of shrapnel.....

What REALLY sickens me is the hero's welcome he is apt to get by the folks pictured on that faux magazine cover.......that is why I posted it...

Oh, and his adult family should be tried for treason, convicted, and hanged from lamp posts down Yonge Street.

How about absolving those individuals that shoot on police/authorities simply because they have were cornered or fired upon. Kidnappers, terrorists, bank robbers; it doesn't matter - none of them ever planned on getting caught, just like Khadr... Hell, there is gun-action daily on the drug/gang front, should they too be forgiven for the aforementioned reasons?

On that note; Omar's older brother was exposed to the same influences by his family yet he never chose the path of terrorism.

... And already, Canadians are treating him as a martyr.

Pathetic, truly pathetic
Well he was already kind of a hero for the quebec separatists "the evil canadian government gave this poor little kid to the evil yankee" thats basically what was on every mind here.

as the saying go "If you can't stand the heat,get out of the kitchen"

The question that in my opinion is critical- why were the Parent and Grandparents not charged with Child Abuse.
The Ontario Govt never proceeded with this. Why?

Possibly the Gov't just didn't want to get embroiled in another goat-rodeo
where the PC-nuttiness reigns in an effort to not have the culture/race
card whipped out again/further with respect to another vocal minority?

I'm think'n of frisking '80yr old ladies in the airports, and then giving a pass
to someone in a Burka (who may or may not be the person they claim to be,
or even the gender of the person they claim to be...) so as not to offend.
