From Yahoo News: Palestinian protesters heckled and threw eggs at Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird during a visit to the occupied West Bank on Sunday, denouncing Ottawa's diplomatic support for Israel. Baird was not hit, but one of the eggs smacked on
There's that famous Muslim hospitality, throwing eggs instead of stones, while their own police do nothing.
"Listen, I was in Mike Harris's cabinet for four years. I've had a lot worse," he said, referring to the man who was Ontario's premier from 1995 until 2002.
Must have been those evil Ontario Palestinians who did that.
That'll work!
Keep throwing those eggs!
Morons.
They need us on side to help further their cause. We don't need them, at all.
If you you want to conflate country with individual behavior, Israel killed the last PM that was ready to make a deal.
The problem is that accepting the deal, ie 1948 or 1967 borders wasn't just up to the Palestinians but involved all the Arab players. So even if the Palestinians had been prepared to be reasonable (which they weren't) it wouldn't have done any good. And I wonder how far the greater Israel movement would have come had the Arabs accepted the land that Israel originally wound up with - would the settler push still be as strong?
Who knows. The Palestinians/Arabs blew it in the past, right now Israel is blowing it because the only viable solution is see is two states.
As for Canada, we used be in a position of honest broker, tho of course it didn't accomplish much. Now we're just an Israeli cheerleader, so we need to accept the Palestinians aren't going to be enraptured when one of our ministers visits their land.

Which? You mean the ones from Mississauga that hang around Palestine House? Nah...they use sticks. Remember?
Agree with your last sentence, agree this isn't optimal behavior. Realize tho that these are just ordinary citizens. The odd Israeli has been shown to not be cooler or smarter as well, as apparently have Ontarians.

Well, hopefully one day the Palestinian people will grow the hell up and realize that Israel is NOT the root of all their problems.
Continued Israeli expansion is certainly a large problem for Palestinians.
The Israeli's should expand Hamas and their ilk out of existence.
Continued Israeli expansion is certainly a large problem for Palestinians. Israel is like the bully who takes a victims fist and hits him in the face with it, while taunting him why he doesn't stop hitting himself.
Do yourself a favour. Quit taking history lessons from the CBC and leftist revisionists before you make another utterly idiotic statement like that again.

So, you're saying Israel expanding their settlements into Palestinian land?

Nope that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that Israel isn't the bully here. It's not bullying when your neighbour starts a fight with you and you kick their ass. It's also not bullying when your neighbour isn't smart enough to stop picking fights with you and winds up getting their ass kicked as a result time after time.
You might feel sorry for the idiot who keeps getting his ass kicked, but you can't blame the one doing the ass kicking.
The whole thing reminds me of this Kids in the Hall sketch. The big dude with the glasses is Israel, Bruce McCulloch is Palestine and Kevin McDonald is every other Muslim state.
Quit with the settlements, move back to something resembling the '67 borders(with allowances for strategic defense necessities), end the blockade and tell the Pallys "you're on your own, make it work. First rocket over the border will be draw ten in response. 2nd rocket gets 100 back. And so on."
I expect Israel will spend a few thousand rockets that way, and I'll cheer them all on.
