An Apology from Canada to Palestine and the Rest of the World

On 29 November 2012, John Baird, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Canada, addressed the United Nations General Assembly on the Question of Palestine. Below you will find the video in which he accuses UN of abandoning its principles by recognizing Palestine.
Canada, Question of Palestine, General Assembly, 44th plenary meeting
Most Canadians are embarrassed and utterly disgusted with what our Conservative government has done. Unfortunately, because of our ’First Past the Post’ electoral system and the bitter reality that a majority government can do anything they want, we can’t do much about it, at least not until the next elections. When that time comes, we promise to do our best to remove from power these fanatics who have shamed Canada and put us on the wrong side of history.
Palestine, of course, was welcomed as a Non-Member Observer State. “Voting by an overwhelming majority - 138 in favour to 9 against (Canada, Czech Republic, Israel, Marshall Islands, Micronesia (Federated States of), Nauru, Panama, Palau, United States), with 41 abstentions — the General Assembly today accorded Palestine non-Member Observer State status in the United Nations.“

For those Canadians who have not been in the loop and would like to put into context what the Harper Government has just done, ask yourself this; was it to the best interest of Canada to vote and lobby against this resolution? If the answer is that you don’t know, then Canada should have abstained.
In Canada, however, three times as many Canadians supported the Palestinian bid as those who opposed it. The most likely reason, we understand that when two parties are negotiating for peace they must be allowed to come to the table as equals, which was not the case when one party was recognized as a State and the other not.
For now, please accept our humble apologies for what our government has done. I can assure you that many of us are elated and celebrating much like the rest of the world. Congratulations, Palestine.

The world knows the role of the countries that played midwife to assist a birth of an illegal nation. Israel. The land of Palestine was now Balfour private property to dispose it in the fashion they did. The West offloaded their guilt on the harmless Palestinians. It was not the Palestinians who subjected the poor Jews to the Pogroms and and gas chambers. It was the West. Why pass the buck to the Innocents.

"....the poor Jews to the Pogroms and and gas chambers....."
Ummm....check your history. There were no GAS CHAMBERS. In fact the regime of Stalin was run by Jews and they killed over 60 mllion. Stop with the ’poor jews’ bullshit. It’s a worn out cry and it diesn’t work any more.

There MUST BE A REASON. There IS. And we’re seeing it in Israel now.
Additionally, Canada is a zionist entity so its apologies are no more than flatulence and window dressing much like its master Israel’s.
