The bold Canadian Foreign Minister demonstrated that you can do moral diplomacy in a cynical world. He set a principled, pro-Israel precedent. Perhaps his clarity will yet prove universally contagious.

In wartime, Israel has (re)discovered both friend and foe, and those who skulk in a morally-dubious middle ground.

The Canadian Prime Minister validated the legitimacy of Israel’s struggle in its own mind, and challenged the world not to be complicit in the assault on Israel.

The Canadian prime minister’s address was a sharp and courageous indictment of the intellectual assault on Israel. It is one of the most important ethical documents about Jews since the days of Cyrus the Great.

The Canadian prime minister, who arrives in Israel on Sunday, has emerged as a courageous global voice of principle about Israel. Thank you, Prime Minister Harper, for not despairing of the world or abandoning Israel and the Jewish People.

Canada’s backing of Israel is comprehensive, concrete and weighty, setting a principled, pro-Israel precedent and example. Prime Minister Harper and his team should be warmly welcomed in Jerusalem this month as super-valuable allies and trusted friends.

Canada’s bold words and actions, such as the decision to cut diplomatic ties with Iran, give Israelis hope that there are indeed many decent people who will stand in defense of Israel.
