POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO’S GLOBE AND MAIL

Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad quit on Saturday after months of tension with President Mahmoud Abbas

We may safely assume that when the likes of John Baird care about a political figure such as the Palestinian prime minister staying in office, the resignation means absolutely nothing to the Palestinian people.

Apart from the fact that John Baird has no stature whatever in world affairs and no credibility as a statesman, the simple fact is that he is an ignoramus on affairs in the Middle East.

Baird is also a man – perhaps a reflection of his argumentative and destructive life as a domestic politician – who has proven he has no concern for the terrible situation of the Palestinians.

He is in addition a pathetic figure whose only objective in the region is to loyally serve American-Israeli positions – resembling in the act a wagging dog waiting for his master to hand out a treat.

Palestinian politicians like Abbas and those associated with him are pleasing to Israel because they maintain a totally submissive demeanor. There is almost something in them of the nature of the old minor Hollywood black actor known as Stepin Fetchit.

Well, it has become a civil war, and such wars have a history of being the bloodiest everywhere.

And who is responsible for getting the horror going?

We know to a certainty it was the United States and Israel.

Because this gang of hooligans is supported and supplied by the United States.

Do you see even one act or policy of the United States that our present government doesn’t closely embrace?

I think it fair to say it grovels when facing South.

We have Mad Dog Baird making pompous pronouncements about unwarranted new measures against Syria.

We have his boss, the Dark Bulk, periodically breaking out in sudden outbursts of loyalty to Israel and Israeli interests, to the complete exclusion of all others.

And it is in Israel’s interest that this whole elaborate plot to upset a stable country and perhaps partition it was created by the United States, just as the horror in Iraq was about Israel and not oil.

Why on earth do we need to go to Al Jazeera when we have ignorant propagandists like “Hapl” scribbling daily in the Globe and Mail?

Indeed, Al Jazeera, while not perfect, is one of the more objective and balanced sources in a sea of propaganda and deliberate misinformation.
