Canada’s decision to oppose Palestinian ICC membership draws sharp criticism from crowd, scathing Saeb Erekat column

Middle East Eye

Palestinians on Sunday hurled eggs at Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird as he was leaving the Palestinian Foreign Ministry in Ramallah, in protest against his country’s support for Israel.

Amid chants condemning what they said was Canada’s supportive stance for Israel, dozens of Palestinians threw eggs at Baird following his meeting with his Palestinian counterpart Riad al-Maliki, Anadolu Agency reported.

Baird arrived in Ramallah from Jerusalem on Sunday and was expected to leave after his meeting with al-Maliki. He is in the region for five days of meetings with Israeli and Palestinian officials.

On Saturday, Palestinian student movements called for protests against the top Canadian diplomat’s visit.

“We’re here today to say that Baird’s visit in not welcome, and we call on him to leave Ramallah immediately,” Essam Abubakr, one of the demonstrators, told AA. “We condemn Canada’s support for Israel’s terrorism and its support for Israel in the United Nations.”

Abubakr called on the Canadian government to side with the Palestinian people who are “under Israeli occupation”.

Canada has expressed its opposition to the recent Palestinian bid to pursue war crime charges against Israel in the International Criminal Court (ICC). Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Sunday that his country would seek to dent funding for the court.

“We will demand of our friends in Canada, in Australia and in Germany simply to stop funding it,” he told Israel Radio. He said he would raise the matter with Baird on Sunday.

In a statement, Baird described his meeting with the Palestinian foreign ministry officials on Sunday as “cordial and constructive” and included “candid and frank exchanges on areas where we differ in opinion”.

Saeb Erekat, the lead Palestinian peace negotiator, penned a scathing critique of Baird in the Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail on Friday.

“After spending the past few years listening to Mr. Baird going out of his way to legitimize the banality and brutality of a 50-year-old Israeli occupation, I tell Mr. Baird: enough,” he wrote.

“If there is anyone that has to apologize, it is Mr. Baird himself. He should first apologize to his own citizenry, many of whom are God-loving Jews, Christians and Muslims who would never condone nor cheer for an Israeli government that stretches support to Israeli settlers who attack churches and mosques.”

He said Baird should “apologize for his active encouragement of Israel’s brute and ugly occupation and its apartheid policies. He should apologize for failing to promote those things Canadians hold dear, such as freedom, dignity and human rights, and for replacing those ideals with an outspoken support of Israel’s clear and undisputed violations of international law.

  1. I’m ashamed to be Canadians! All the political apparatus ( All Parties ) caters to Israel’s Apartheid Policies

  2. MARTIN LUTHER, 16th century German religious reformer
    “They (the Jews) are the real liars and bloodhounds, who have not only perverted and falsified the entire Scriptures from beginning to end and without ceasing with their interpretations. And all of the anxious sighing, longing and hoping of their hearts is directed to the time when some day they would like to deal with us heathen as they dealt with the heathen in Persia at the time of Esther… On how they love the book of Esther, which so nicely agrees with their bloodthirsty, revengeful and murderous desire and hope.
    (1) The sun never did shine on a more bloodthirsty and revengeful people as they, who imagine to be the people of God, and who desire to and think they must murder and crush the heathen. And the foremost undertaking which they expect of their Messiah is that he should slay and murder the whole world with the sword. As they at first demonstrated against us Christians and would like to do now, if they only could; have also tried it often and have been repeatedly struck on their snouts… Their breath stinks for the gold and silver of the heathen; since no people under the sun always have been, still are, and always will remain more avaricious than they, as can be noticed in their cursed usury. They also find comfort with this: “When the Messiah comes, He shall take all the gold and silver in the world and distribute it among the Jews.
    (2) Thus, wherever they can direct Scripture to their insatiable avarice, they wickedly do so. Therefore know, my dear Christians, that next to the Devil; you have no more bitter, more poisonous, more vehement and enemy than a real Jew who earnestly desires to be a Jew. There may be some among them who believe what the cow or the goose believes. But all of them are surrounded with their blood and circumcision. In history, therefore, they are often accused of poisoning wells, stealing children and mutilating them; as in Trent, Weszensee and the like. Of course they deny this. Be it so or not, however, I know full well that the ready will is not lacking with them if they could only transform it into deeds, in secret or openly.
    (3) A person who does not know the Devil, might wonder why they are so at enmity with the Christians above all others; for which they have no reason, since we only do good to them.
    They live among us in our homes, under our protection, use land and highways, market and streets. Princes and government sit by, snore and have their maws open, let the Jews take from their purse and chest, steal and rob whatever they will. That is, they permit themselves and their subjects to be abused and sucked dry and reduced to beggars with their own money, through the usury of the Jews. For the Jews, as foreigners, certainly should have nothing from us; and what they have certainly must be ours. They do not work, do not earn anything from us, neither do we donate or give it to them. Yet they have our money and goods and are lords in our land where they are supposed to be in exile!
    If a thief steals ten gulden he must hang; if he robs people on the highway, his head is gone. But a Jew, when he steals ten tons of gold through his usury is dearer than God himself!
    Do not their TALMUD and rabbis write that it is no sin to kill if a Jew kills a heathen, but it is a sin if he kills a brother in Israel? It is no sin if he does not keep his oath to a heathen. Therefore, to steal and rob (as they do with their money-lending) from a heathen is a divine service… And they are the masters of the world and we are their servants – yea, their cattle!
    I maintain that in three fables of Aesop there is more wisdom to be found than in all the books of the Talmudists and rabbis and more than ever could come into the hearts of the Jews…

  3. As a Canadian, proud of what my country was before its takeover by foreign interests, this video troubles me deeply on several levels.

    What we see is the direct result of Jewish ownership of the Canadian government, never so apparent until the takeover by criminal psychopath Stephen Harper who managed to outdo even Brian Mulroney (his personal mentor) to this once great nation.

    The Canadian people are, on the whole, clueless and those who discuss politics at all come from a very deeply entrenched Jewish media. Since the 1960’s I watched the consolidation of our media into a few hands but most Canadians truly only are concerned with who broadcasts the coming hockey season. The rest watch the CBC, our version of the BBC. I remember asking my mother what would happen if these radio stations kept eating each other and she had no answer of course. I did and here we are today….

    They will never see this film of Baird being egged and, if they do, highly unlikely, it would be to blame intolerant Muslims and discuss the need to deal with homegrown terrorists to protect his ilk back home via more clampdowns.

    This Canadian apologizes yet again for the actions of her government but knows it does little good. We are not all screaming gay hypocritical Christian Zionist zealots owned by Israel. Honest.

    Meanwhile, give them something to think about. Next time, make sure they are ostrich eggs that have lain in the sun a month too long.

  4. Poor Canada, Germany, Australia, the JewNited States that our governments have been taken over by the criminal psychopaths. They can not even say any thing about the criminals because they are put in jail.
    Where is the liberty of expression? The liberty of expression for those corrupt governments is “You can say any thing about any body but do not say any thing about the “CHOSEN”.
