Kudos to Bob Rae, Canada’s new Ambassador to the United Nations, for pushing back against CBC News Anchor Adrian Harewood’s anti-Israel question which was posed during an interview which implied that Canadian support for Israel led to Canada’s loss of a seat at the Security Council.
Credit as well to Ambassador Rae for supporting the need for UN reform and for asserting that “we don’t think that making Israel the punching bag for all of the UN’s resolutions is necessarily going to be helpful to getting towards that (2-state solution) result.”
