Canadian NDP deputy party leader Libby Davies says Israel has been occupying Palestinian territory since 1948. Zionist-controlled PM Stephen Harper and Liberals gang up on Davies and call for her resignation. The Israeli Lobby is as strong in Canada as it is in the United States. Parliament Hill in Ottawa is yet more Israeli-occupied territory, like Capitol Hill in DC and Westminster in London. Time for liberation from the Zionist yoke for Western capitals as much as it is needed for Gaza, the West Bank, and east Jerusalem.
