Canada Severs Ties With PA

Canada has become the first nation after Israel to sever ties with the Palestinian Authority because of the influence of Hamas.
Canada has become the first country after Israel to cut funding and diplomatic ties to the Palestinian Authority over the new Hamas government's refusal to renounce violence.

The news shocked pro-Palestine groups who fear aid will be cut to those living in squalid refugee camps.
This is great news. One can only speculate if the previous Liberal administration would have taken this course of action but I somehow doubt it. Glad to see this Conservative administration showing some backbone.

For their part, the Palestinians are just a tad upset.
The newly installed Palestinian Information Minister, Youssef Rizka, called the Canadian action "hasty" and said it "shows obvious bias."

Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahar told Associated Press television he wasn't surprised by the decision.

"The question is if the Canadian state is willing to starve the Palestinian people while the Israelis are committing big crimes against the Palestinian industry, the Palestinian society," Zahar said.
I suppose its all about perspective but these guys sure have some interesting ones. Rizka referred to Canada's decision as hasty and that we're bias. Hasty and bias? Hamas has had ample opportunity to denounce violence yet they continue to remain defiant. It would be reprehensible to give money to an organization such as that knowing who and what they are. Nothing hasty and bias about it. I call it responsible.

Then Zahar jumps into the mix by saying Canada will allow the Palestinians to starve while Israel engages in criminal acts against them. Yeah its all one big conspiracy isn't it? Yasser Arafat amassed a personal fortune of God knows how many billions of dollars by stealing it from those it was intended for - the Palestinian people. Zahar expects us to continue the trend of funding terrorists? I don't think so. My question is how much have the Arab nations of that region given? Why are we in the West the evil villains except when it comes to handouts? People like Zahar and Rizka know fully well who is to blame. They also understand what needs to be done if they want that gravy train to run again. It's up to them.
