Consider this: the CAF is calling on the Conservative government to dismiss Peter Kent, the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, because Mr. Kent stated Hamas is to blame for the conflict and that the terrorist group uses the civilian population in Gaza as human shields.Yeah, let's talk ridiculous... not to mention insanely partisan and delusional...
A CAF representative has said this is "beyond ridiculous."
Yet the CAF is not protesting in any way the position staked out by the leader of the Liberal party, Michael Ignatieff.Funny how that works.
Is Mr. Ignatieff's position any different from Mr. Kent's? Consider these final comments Mr. Ignatieff left with reporters when asked about the Gaza conflict:
"Hamas is a terrorist organization and Canada can't touch Hamas with a 10-foot pole."
"Hamas is to blame for organizing and instigating these rocket attacks and then for sheltering among civilian populations."
