Jason Cherniak is a Liberal Party blogger and his recent posts have dealt with the Liberal Party and their position on Israel.
This past weekend the annual UJA (United Jewish Appeal) "Walk with Israel" took place in Toronto and judging by the pictures on Jason's Blog - which I've attached here - the Liberals are clamoring to be seen as pro-Israel partisans.
What is even more astounding to me is how there seems to be a race between the Conservative Party of Canada and the Liberals to see who can appear to be more "pro-Israel". Want proof of this? Just read the comments below - the debate isn't about whether or not attending a pro-Israel march is a legitimate act of a Canadian Politician, its which federal party is the most uncompromisingly "pro-Israel".
Oh and FYI: Here's Jason's helpful list of Liberal Party MP's who made it out to support the Israel and the UJA...
"As a personal matter, I would like to thank Stéphane Dion, Michael Ignatieff, Bob Rae, Gerard Kennedy, Ken Dryden, Martha Hall Findlay, Joe Volpe, Anita Neville, Irwin Cotler, Carolyn Bennett, Susan Kadis, Judy Sgro, Mario Silva, Borys Wrzesnewskyj, Senator Art Eggleton, Senator Jerry Grafstein, Bonnie Crombie, Deborah Coyne, Minister Caplan, Minister Kwinter, David Zimmer and Mario Racco for joining us."
I'd like to thank Jason for making a list of Liberals I will encourage others not to vote for. Thanks Jason!
So here are the pics: nothing like seeing our politicians (hey - all Caucasians by the way!) celebrate a racist state!
Everyone smile! What a cute kid. Too bad they haven't heard:
141 kids were murdered by the Israeli Army last year.
Some children's lives are worth more.
"See! I'm wearing a t-shirt and waving a flag - we Conservatives love Israel too!"
(Oh, sorry, not from the UJA march)

Would you care to explain how it is wrong to be pro-Israel when the position includes support for an independent and free Palestine?
The only requirement is that the Palestinian government stops attacks against Israel.
Thanks for the comment Jason - I'll respond in a post that addresses your questions.
