Canadian Arabs hold Prime Minister Stephen Harper responsible for the death of Canadians in Lebanon

Canadian Arab Federation Press release:

"The Canadian Arab Federation holds Prime Minister Stephen Harper responsible for the death of 8 Canadians in Lebanon.

While Israel was bombarding Lebanon, terrorizing and killing civilians and destroying the infrastructure of the country, Harper appallingly was quoted a saying that these Israeli war crimes are a "measured response" to the capture of 2 Israeli soldiers.

It is outrageous that a Canadian Prime Minister would justify Israel's brutal assault against Lebanon when such action has resulted in the death of hundreds of Lebanese civilians including the murder of 8 Canadians.

The Canadian Arab Federation will be holding a press conference within 48 hours to condemn Harper's support for Israel which emboldened it to continue committing war crimes against the Lebanese people."

(Just so we're all clear, Harper's "measured" comment took place two days before our fellow Canadians were killed. As of this post, I'm not aware of his having made any public comment about their deaths.)

1. So they should, imo...

Previous governments, even REAL Conservative ones, spoke cautiously, advocated for peace and acted immediately to bring Canadians to safety. Harper needs to hung out to dry on this one, imo.
