Palestinian FM: ”Israel should move to Canada”
Posted: 30-01-2007 , 14:57 GMT

Mahmoud-Zahar"One large Islamic nation should be established in the Middle East, and where will Israel go? It should go to Canada. There is much open territory there in which a Jewish state should be established," said the Palestinian Foreign Minster Mahmoud A-Zahar in a recent interview with Canada's Globe and Mail.

 

The interview was published just days before the visit of Canadian Foreign Minister Peter Mackay to Israel and the Palestinian Authority, in which Mackay refused to meet with Hamas leaders or with A-Zahar.

 

A-Zahar warned in the interview that Canada was endangering itself. In his words, Canada is liable to turn into an enemy of the Palestinian nation and the Islamic Movement as a result of its insistence on shunning Hamas and supporting Israel.

 

"What is Israel giving you? Nothing," he said in the interview.

 

canada"Is it that you want to be the tail of the American dog—this is your business—or do you want to be a national leader?"

 

The Palestinian minister then addressed his Canadian counterpart and asked, "Why do you refuse to meet with us? We are not man-eaters."

 

He then added that Hamas-members are not terrorists, but rather, freedom fighters, saying:"There is no difference between us and the French resistance to Nazi occupation during the second world war."

  Great idea! Let's move all the Jews to the Northwest Territories so they can freeze to death - so much easier than suicide bombers. Great idea, I can see why he is the foreign minister, he seems to be the most intelligent one in the Palestinian camp. Keep up the good work!

  He is the most intelligent in the camp. Unfortunately his intelligence is clearly insufficient to make any sense and this - more than the Jews is the tragedy of the Palestinian people - they are lead by idiot.

  How dare he compare the brave noble french resistance fighters to the scum of islamic millitants. The french resistance fighters did not bomb german restaurants, did not send in suicide bombers.. they fought honourably against soldiers only. Only islamic millitants are soo cowardly that they would rather blow up civilian buildings and cheer about afterward.

  I can uderstand the hostility of the Canadians who responded to the Foreign Ministers sarcasim about the State of Israel being moved to Canada . Afterall Canada is not only a country where it has long and openly embraced a racist policy of ethnic cleansing of North American Indians but has long since created an environment where tens of thousands of Jews who reside there, especially in Quebec, are fleeing that Country in unprecedented numbers because of home grown anti-semitism. So, gee, I guess he last thing that canada needs is more Jews to expel!

  And what about the 50% of Israel's population which were expelled (without compensation) from Arab countries after 1948, many of them from communities that long pre-dated Islam? The Arabs want everyone to think that all Israelis are from Europe, which is a lie. I have an idea - send all the Palestinians back to the Arabian peninsula, where they came from, and let the Saudis host them.

  most people of islamic religion are unalphabets , backward , uncivilized and plain stupid . look at their societies , their countries ,look at the arab countries , look at pakistan ETC . with that in mind , they can be influenced easily by their bastard clergies and be persuaded to jihad .look at their histories , they were never significant in the world in the last 500 years .They are not producers of anything (oil?) just consumers .the only time when they amount to something is when they emigrate to the west where some of them become great scientists doctors etc . this is due to their oppressive regimes their and manipulative clergy .

  Um hello WORLD - TIME TO WAKE UP - one country's pres (iran) publicly vows to annhilate Israel; another (this moron) also publicly wants to see Israel removed from her land. Why does the whole world sit by and do NOTHING? These demonic forces don't play - they are serious and bold. If these threats (to run a country out of her land) were made against any other country, the UN would be up in arms about it and the whole world would be defending the "victim" country. ??????? An alarm is sounding and it's TIME for the world to do something.

  I like this idea, but the available parts of Canada are pretty cold. Would there possibly be an Inuit Intifada before long?
