On a day of denunciations and demonstrations, Stephen Harper stood by Benjamin Netanyahu Monday and signalled that Canada’s support for Israel has not wavered, expressing regret at the loss of life during the raid on Gaza-bound ships, while calling for patience.Hang on a second... where's Waldo?
Across the aisle of the Commons, there was virtual silence on the incident. In his first leadership bid in 2006, Mr. Ignatieff stepped into controversy over the Lebanon war, first saying he wasn’t losing sleep over civilian deaths and then calling the Israeli shelling of Qana a war crime.Yeah... that's what I thought.

LAST WORD: A short break for facts...
Israel Navy: “Mavi Marmara, you are approaching an area of hostilities which is under a naval blockade. The Gaza area coastal region and Gaza harbor are closed to all maritime traffic.So, Peace Moonbeam... who actually caused the train wreck here?
The Israeli government supports delivery of humanitarian supplies to the civilian population in the Gaza Strip and invites you to enter the Ashdod port. Delivery of supplies in accordance with the authorities’ regulations will be through the formal land crossings and under your observation, after which you can return to your home ports on the vessels on which you have arrived.”
Response: “Negative, negative.”
