Sign the petition to the Canadian government if you don't agree with Stephen Harper's unconditional and unbalanced support for Israel. Stephan Harper released a statement saying 'Canada is unequivocally behind Israel ' Canada's unflinching support has lost canada a seat at the United Nations in 2010, our country no longer plays it's job as peacemaker and HumanRights champion on the international stage. UN high commissioner of human rights Navi Pillay said 'we have received deeply disturbing reports that many of the civilian casualties, including of children, occurred as a result of strikes on homes. Such reports raise serious doubt about whether the Israeli strikes have been in accordance with international humanitarian law and international human rights law,' Pillay said in a statement about the strikes against the Palestinians.

The current federal government is extremely biased and uncritical in its support of Israel. There is very little concern for Israel's brutal occupation of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Canada has always been and should always remain as a PEACE country, Stephen Harper, in which religion & in what language is it OK to kill and bomb innocent children no matter what the issue is?!

In no way should Canada support an apartheid regime who commits war crimes against Palestinians! Shame on you Stephen Harper and your government. I, as a Canadian, do NOT stand for that. One day when Israel will be held accountable for its crimes Canada's name will be there in the hall of shame.

This is not the Canadian way, Harper is twisting our values to support country that terrorizes a population with no army no naval support no airforce living in the biggest open air prison of the planet. We used to stand for Humanity , peace and non aggression.

I believe Canada should respect the title of being one of the most peaceful and diverse countries. We should not take sides, especially the wrong side seeing as 100s of Palestinians are being massacred. We are our own country we don't have to be America's sidekick

As a Canadian citizen, I am ashamed that the man who represents Canada internationally has announced to the world that he, and through him Canada, supports Isreal and it's right to continue their slaughter of Palestinians.
