Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird stated:
 
We take a strong position supporting the only liberal and democratic state in the region.  We take the view that in a peace process, progress is best made at the negotiating table and not through unilateral actions on the other side. We’re proud of that position, we believe it’s the best one and don’t apologize for it.”
 
 
Give them a state? 
 
Palestinian protesters threw shoes and eggs at Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird in Ramallah after he met with his Palestinian counterpart.   (Nothing of this sort happens in Ramallah without authorization by top Palestinian authorities.)
 
UPDATE:  Visiting Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird told Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu Monday,
 
Canada doesn’t stand behind Israel;
we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with it.”
 
Netanyahu told Baird Monday, “To fight Islamist terrorism, we need clarity and courage. Canada has both. You know who is the aggressor; you know who is the defender. You know that Israel legitimately defends itself against the war crimes of Hamas and other terrorist groups. You know that it’s a travesty of justice to haul Israel to the dock in The Hague, and you know that the entire system of international law could unravel because of this travesty.”
Baird declared, “The great struggle of our generation is terrorism and far too often the State of Israel and the Jewish people around the world are on the front lines of that struggle.”
