Netanyahu came to Canada looking for Canada's support for continued oppression and injustice his government imposes on millions of innocent people and for an Israeli strike against Iran. Likely he got it. If Harper and McKay have their way, it won't be long before Canadian soldiers are sent to Israel to commmit war crimes alongside the IDF soldiers:
Defence Minister Peter MacKay refused Wednesday to rule out a mutual-defence agreement that would oblige Canada to come to Israel's defence should the latter be attacked. Appearing together at a media conference in Ottawa on Wednesday, Mr. MacKay and his Israeli counterpart Ehud Barak said they anticipate negotiations will be completed by the end of the year. "Israel needs strong, reliable partners, which Canada is certainly one," Mr. MacKay said. "I would argue they could not find a more supportive country on the planet."
Canada, Israel to bolster militaries
Israel, the shining beacon of democracy, created over the ruins of ethnically cleansed towns and villages of people God didn't choose in order to make way for the new towns and villages for the people God chose. Who would have thought that tossing people out of their homes and seizing their property might lead to violence?
Israel is currently led by war criminals and people commit crimes against humanity. I am unaware of another example where Canada unshakably supports oppression, injustice, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Lets be clear about what it is that Harper unshakably supports:
During Israel's recent Gaza offensive, Israeli soldiers unlawfully shot and killed 11 Palestinian civilians, including five women and four children, who were in groups waving white flags to convey their civilian status, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The Israeli military should conduct thorough, credible investigations into these deaths to tackle the prevailing culture of impunity, Human Rights Watch said. The 63-page report, "White Flag Deaths: Killings of Palestinian Civilians during Operation Cast Lead," is based on field investigations of seven incident sites in Gaza, including ballistic evidence found at the scene, medical records of victims, and lengthy interviews with multiple witnesses - at least three people separately for each incident.
Israel: Investigate
Israel bans use of human shields
The court issued a temporary injunction against the practice in 2002 after a teenager was killed when troops made him negotiate with a wanted militant.
Israel's supreme court has banned the use of Palestinian human shields in arrest raids, saying the practice violates international law.

I am aware that some people here support or refuse to condemn the IDF abducting and using children to enter buildings where armed militants are believed to be hiding to draw enemy fire or set off booby traps, but I find this cowardly behavior to be repulsive.
Interfering with international food and medical aid is a crime against humanity, especially when the purpose is to collectively punish millions of innocent civilians.

The IDF has demonstrated a callous disrespect for human life. Here is an example of IDF soldiers ignoring the screams of dying children for days:
The ICRC had requested safe passage for ambulances to access this neighbourhood since 3 January but it only received permission to do so from the Israel Defense Forces during the afternoon of 7 January. The ICRC/PRCS team found four small children next to their dead mothers in one of the houses. They were too weak to stand up on their own. One man was also found alive, too weak to stand up. In all there were at least 12 corpses lying on mattresses. In another house, the ICRC/PRCS rescue team found 15 other survivors of this attack including several wounded. In yet another house, they found an additional three corpses. Israeli soldiers posted at a military position some 80 meters away from this house ordered the rescue team to leave the area which they refused to do. There were several other positions of the Israel Defense Forces nearby as well as two tanks.

As far as I know, Canadian soldiers don't have any experience abducting 11 year old girls and hiding behind them as they are forced at gunpoint to draw enemy fire and set off booby traps. But after Canada signs a mutual defense pact with Israel, the IDF will train Canadian soldiers to commit this war crime along with the many others. Other useful lessons the IDF can teach Canadian forces include the proper way to shoot women and children in the back as they run away waving a white flag and how to force the people God didn't choose out of their houses and onto the streets, so their homes can be redeemed by people God chose.
