Canada last week once again demonstrated its unequivocal support for and friendship with Israel when Prime Minister Stephen Harper took other Western leaders to task for not backing the Jewish state sufficiently enough.

"There's nothing more shortsighted in Western capitals in our time than the softening of support we've seen for Israel around the globe."

The Canadian leader said that at a time of such turmoil, Israel has demonstrated that it is the "one stable, democratic ally that the West can count on in the Middle East."

'Beneath the facade of the so called “moderate” Palestinian Authority and Israel’s unrelenting enemy, the Hamas terrorist group, there is little difference. Almost nothing is said by Western leaders regarding ceremonies honoring terrorists, or hate-filled Palestinian text books and children’s television shows. Scant mention is made how ongoing evidence of malevolence in PA society shatters the trust of Israelis that Palestinians have any plans for future Arab generations to dwell with them in harmony. Continue to pray for the Gospel to make a difference in the Middle East. Knowledge of Yeshua is the only hope for peace.'
