When Canada for the first time voted against a series of UN General Assembly resolutions annually presented by Arab nations, Toronto Star columnist Haroon Siddiqui criticized the change in foreign policy, accusing Israel of undermining the UN and international law:
But Canada does end up with an awkward stance:
We did not join the illegal U.S. war on Iraq since the U.N. had not approved it, yet we support the United States and Israel, which undermine the U.N. and the rule of international law.
We have to wonder how Siddiqui can accuse Israel of flouting non-binding resolutions.
