I would not be surprised if he publicly denounced Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. There are a lot of Muslims in Canada and their constituency is growing fast due to immigration and higher birthrates. So saying something like that to appease the Muslims would make perfect political sense for him.

I do find it amusing that Muslims are supposedly outraged about the whole Jerusalem thing. Most of these people have not met a Palestinian in their life and either live in or come from countries where Palestinians are not even allowed to go there, much less immigrate. And yet, when it is politically expedient, suddenly the Palestinians are their "brothers in arms" and need to be supported. Total horseshit.

The Muslim people, even more than Westerners, are being completely manipulated by their own media and leaders towards diabolical ends. Most of the problems in the Muslim world come from the failings and corruption of their own leaders, but they are manipulated into supporting these horrible leaders through anti-Israel propaganda. Oldest propaganda trick in the book. Create an external enemy to focus on so you ignore the shortcoming of your own horrible leaders/regimes and support them.

The Palestinian/Israeli conflict is simply a regional conflict about control of local resources. It is not a religious crusade, although minority groups on both sides do see and promote it as such. And like I said before, no Muslim countries have any interest in genuinely helping Palestinian people (if they did, they would be working more towards resettling them and helping build their economy rather than just giving them weapons to keep the conflict going) and very few allow any of them in their country. They are simply a political tool to use for their own PR ends.
Are you Jewish? Palestinians have a lot of valid points and they continually are screwed by settlers/war brought to their homes. Sure Palestinians could do nothing, but that shit is not about to stop. Certain types of jews think they are entitled to the houses/lands of Palestinians due to actual *horseshit* reasons. Standing up for Palestianians in general doesn't seem like horseshit. Israel is a racist state like few others.

But yea, I don't read FPS's posts. I give people a bit of time and read their claims and once they start repeating too much nonsense I tune them out.
