Canada: Citizens Who Visit Israel Not Really Worth Defending

Not Worth It

Ah Canada. Land of anti-Semitic terrorist professors and forced multiculturalism and Star Chambers - and spineless cowering in front of anti-Israel zealots:

The Canadian government has come to the defense of Saudi Arabia, telling The Jerusalem Post that the desert kingdom's policy of barring entry to Canadian citizens whose passports bear an Israeli visa or border stamp is "accepted practice." According to the Web site of Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, "Canadians have been denied entry into Saudi Arabia because their passports bore: a) an Israeli visa; b) an Israeli border stamp; or c) an Egyptian or Jordanian border stamp issued by an office bordering Israel (such a stamp would indicate the traveller entered from Israel)."... Canadian Jewish organization expressed outrage over Saudi Arabia's policy... "We will ask the Canadian government to make every effort to ensure that Canadian citizens are not discriminated against by the human-rights abusing regime of Saudi Arabia," said B'nai B'rith Canada Executive Vice President Frank Dimant.

Just to be clear: in Canada they will out of their way to rationalize and excuse domestic honor killings - but traveling to Israel puts you beyond the pale.
