Is it really this? Or could it be something else?
Why should Canadians feel compeled to donate anything at all to the Palestinians? They do this because they feel it is the right thing to do; not because the owe the Palestinians anything.
I live not far from Canada. They are their own people - a proud people, with a mind of their own. If they think America is wrong, believe me when I say, they will tell us in a heartbeat (and they have).
I cannot speak for the Canadians; but, I would venture to say they have a good argument for anything they do. My experience has been that they are well educated and versed on the issues.
No one, with the possible exception of the Arab League, owes the Palestinians anything. I'm sure they can find another benefactor. Maybe their Iranian sponsors will be willing to pickup the slack.
I still think that if the Palestinians believe they have a good case, they should pursue it in court. Let's see it litigated and look at the security issues that the Palestinians have raised.
Most Respectfully,
R

(COMMENT)I have to say that I'm disappointed that the best response Canada can muster to the endless construction in the West Bank is to act as Israel's PR agency.
It is woefully one sided, painfully short-sighted and not beneficial to Canada's normally positive reputation abroad. It seems to me that the Canadians have simply crumpled into the lap of lobbyists.
Regardless of how one sees an eventual solution to the Palestinian issues - the construction are an extremely hostile and counter-productive move.
