Canadian government forming pro-Israel lobby

Region:
In-depth Report:

Truth is indeed stranger and often more frightening than fiction.

What is extraordinary is that as the organized Jewish community in the US and abroad moves further and further towards the fascist right, its power over the US and Western governments is growing even more rapidly.

One need not argue about the validity of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion while there is an ugly conspiracy unfolding before our very eyes, or at least the eyes of those willing to see.

Canadian government forming pro-Israel lobby

Etgar Lefkovits, THE JERUSALEM POST
Feb. 4, 2007

The Canadian government is establishing an “Israel Allies Caucus” this week meant to mobilize support for the State of Israel and promote Judeo-Christian values amid a groundswell of Christian support for Israel around the world.

The launching of the Canadian parliamentary lobby, which is based on the formation of the Knesset’s “Christian Allies Caucus” three years ago, comes less than six months after a similar lobby was established in the US Congress.

The establishment of the new pro-Israel lobby will be officially announced in Ottawa on Tuesday in the presence of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canadian and Israeli parliamentarians, including MK Benny Elon (National Union-National Religious Party) MK Orit Noked (Labor) and MK Ran Cohen (Meretz), as well as members of the Canadian-Israel Friendship League.

The event comes at a time of burgeoning relations between Israel and the largely supportive evangelical Christian community around the world.

“The launching of the Canadian Parliamentary Israel Allies Caucus is a sign of things to come,” said Josh Reinstein, director of the Knesset’s Christian Allies Caucus in an interview from Canada on Sunday.

“We hope that one day every parliament and government around the world will form a sister caucus to the Knesset’s Christian Allies Caucus which will mobilize support for Israel around the world and promote Judeo-Christian values.”

Over the next six months, similar parliamentary lobbies are expected to be established in the Philippines, South Korea, Malawi, South Africa and Finland.

The increasingly influential Israeli parliamentary lobby, which is currently made up of 12 MKs from seven parties across the political spectrum, has come to epitomize Israel’s newfound interest in garnering the support of the Christian world in the 21st century, especially the largely pro-Israel evangelical Christian community around the world, at a time when radical Islam is on the rise.
