Accusations you have directed toward the organizers of the recent press conference in Montreal are major! You write that we don’t “possess any tolerance and not able to accept each others”… What do you back this up with? And what exactly are you referring to because it’s unclear.

On your assertions concerning democracy in Geroria & the Ukraine it seems important to dig below the headlines for the realities that Dmitri mentioned. Your assertions sounds similar to those of the Bush Administration.

The ongoing demonstrations in Beirut, Lebanon are a demand for democratic representation within the Lebanese government.

Prime Minister Fouad Siniora’s government is not supported by the majority of people in Lebanon today, this is clear to anyone who witnessed the size of the recent demonstrations. Radio France International reported that over 1 million people demonstrated in central Beirut in early December… The question is why are so many Lebanese on the streets?

One answer to the question is to address the performance of the current Lebanese government during the 2006 Israeli attack. During the assault which took the lives of over 1300 Lebanese civilians & destroyed large parts of the national infrastructure of Lebanon, the Lebanese military didn’t lift a finger in defense of the nation, while more importantly didn’t provide adequate aid to the hundreds of thousands of internally displaced Lebanese refugees….

Huge portions of Lebanese society are enraged at the national governments lack of response to the war this summer, as many thousands remain homeless and are grieving the deaths of loved ones…

Importantly the government of Siniora embraced the same Western leaders who supported the Israeli assault, hosting a meeting with British PM in Beirut just weeks after the U.N. brokered ceasefire.

The Lebanese Information Center wrote…

“We take this occasion to thank our Canadian government in general, and Mr. Harper in particular for the role he has taken to defend democracy in Lebanon, and the fight against terrorism and oppression throughout the world.”

Let us clearly remember that the current Conservative government of Canada overtly supported the 2006 assault on Lebanon, calling it a measured response. In late July when 11 members of the Al-Akhras family from north Montreal lost their lives, Harper continued to call Israel’s response ‘measured’. Harper supported Israeli’s attack. How can you now thank him & the current Canadian governments policies… At the very least your position is disturbing!

Do you like the Conservative government of Harper support Israel’s war-crimes committed throughout Lebanon this summer?
