tyoma_catПозволю себе привести две цитаты из вчерашних выступлений в Канадском Парламенте.
Первая (двое участников):
Mr. James Lunney (Nanaimo—Alberni, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, this week the UN Human Rights Council released its latest anti-Israel missive.
The Goldstone report began with a mandate to condemn the Jewish state in a process that Canada and many other nations would not support. The report accuses Israel of war crimes in the recent Gaza conflict.
Regrettably, war crimes is the same claim made by the Leader of the Opposition during the conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Could the minister of state please inform this House what the government's response is to this report?
Hon. Peter Kent (Minister of State of Foreign Affairs (Americas), CPC):
Mr. Speaker, I would remind this House that the so-called fact-finding commission was the creation of one of the United Nations' most flawed bodies, the Human Rights Council, which includes some of the UN's least democratic states.
In commissioning this study, the Human Rights Council pre-emptively assumed Israel's culpability. This government has never equated Israel, a democratic state, with terrorist groups that seek to destroy both it and its people.
This government will continue to remind members opposite that it is one thing to offer support of words to Israel when it is convenient and quite another to stand with Israel in its--
Теперь вторая цитата:
Ms. Libby Davies (Vancouver East, NDP):
Mr. Speaker, the second petition is from people in Toronto who are urging the Government of Canada to immediately undertake a change of position regarding the Middle East and ensure that there is concrete action to hold Israel accountable for its ongoing violations of international humanitarian law.
Надеюсь, перевод не нужен (всё просто - консерваторы против односторонней анти-израильской резолюции, а социалисты требуют осудить Израиль), но, возможно, нужны пояснения: CPC - прогрессивные консерваторы, NDP - новые демократы (леваки-социалисты). Либби Дэвис - иммигрант из Англии, в прошлом гетеро, сейчас - гомо :)
Еще один момент: Дэвис упоминает "international humanitarian law", по-русски говоря, Женевские конвенции, касающиеся защиты военнопленных и мирного населения во время войны. Предложение сделать только одну сторону ответственной за действия совершаемые в основном второй говорит о многом! :(
Кстати, иммигранты из Англии подозрительно часто встречаются среди канадских леваков - профсоюзный активист Сид Райан, торонтский мэр Миллер, эта дамочка...
