Palestinian lives evidently do not concern Mr. Baird. Yes, those Israeli terrorists who burned alive 16-year-old Muhammad Abu Khdeir in Jerusalem are no different from those Islamic State terrorists who beheaded Steven Sotloff in Syria. We know that the majority of Canadian citizens disagree with their current leadership’s position vis-à-vis Palestine. Some are silent, but others have made their opinions clear, including the thousands who took to the streets of Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec calling for a just and lasting peace. Mr. Baird is first and foremost doing his country a disservice by contravening its deep commitment to international law and human rights. He is also doing the region a disservice by supporting those forces standing firmly against peace.
