Gaza Violence and the Harper Government's Reaction (Repost)

In the interests of free speech and open dialogue, I am re-posting the entry which Cherniak found so "offensive." I wonder how the other Liblog board members feel about Cherniak acting unilaterally in censoring bloggers?

Do Stephen Harper and Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon have any humanity left in them? They keep on firing their verbal cannon that it is all about Israel's self-defence. Every passing day it is becoming harder to believe. The tacit (and not so tacit) approval by the Harper government is giving a black eye to Canada's past reputation as a peacekeeper.

Harper and Cannon are reading from Bush's playbook or talking points, but what is with our leader Ignatieff? When will red hot Liberal blood boil in him so that he sees the reality and call a spade a spade. European nations have caught on and French President Sarkozy is visiting the area. Even Obama, who has been keeping mostly silent on the issue (which raises criticisms of its own, though at least he is not yet sworn into office), has expressed regret at the loss of lives in Gaza.

Come on Canada.

Recently, 40 people (including children) were killed when a UN school in Gaza, which was being used as a shelter, was hit. Sorry folks, I must admit, I feel too upset to write anymore. The pictures above speak volumes.

  1. I can't find the names of any other Liblog board members. I think the only board member is Jason Cherniak. I could be wrong.

    Bloggers may not like this, but I think of Liblogs as being a gigantic blog run by Jason Cherniak. All your blog postings are equivalent to people making comments underneath individual blogs. As the blogmeister of Liblogs, Cherniak can get rid of blogs he doesn't like. When he makes an "offical" position that Liblogs supports Israel in its actions, he is correct. Liblogs is Jason Cherniak. You bloggers are suckers for joining a blogging aggregate in which there is only one moderator--This seems very Harperish: one man team.

    I commented under LeDaro's previous post that if you don't like the way Cherniak operates Liblogs, get a group of you together and start your own Liberal blog.

  2. Skinny Dipper, I agree with you. By the way his top post on Libog is gone.

    To start a new aggregate is under discussion. Personally I am not that computer savvy to start one.

  3. Skinny Dipper - nice to know that I was not the only one that went looking for the Board of five members, and could not find them.

    Perhaps there is a good reason, who knows.

  5. Well, LeDaro, seems this post has finally stayed up on the Liblogs page - with the photos moved lower down in the post.

    Glad to see you have been "liberated". ;-)

  7. It seems many liberals think Israels response is not a measured response to rocket attacks. Well you guys are totally right, Israel should fire back 6,000 rockets into the camps, then both sides will be even in the amount of rockets fired.
