I'm interested in whether any nation actually has principles. Don't you see the oddness of the positions?

If you want to go to the trouble, then fine. I'm not interested in engaging in an intracontinental pissing match. Obviously something is afoot in Canada if this person is not being allowed into the country.
And I think it's a bit disingenuous to approach someone who has stated their views on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict pretty flatly in no uncertain terms and imply that because the government that sits in Washington and votes very rarely in the interests of such persons that they 'love' the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories and the treatment of Native Americans. And don't worry yourself, America is only a major event or two away from 'loving' the Chinese occupation of Tibet, as well. You want to rub someone's nose in the sellout injustices perpetrated by the American government try an American who hasn't spent the greater part of their life witnessing it.
I know your comment was addressed to Will so I don't speak for Will, just myself as one of those 'Israel loving' Americans of which you speak.
