It is an appointment that will re-ignite the arguments about just how Canada should conduct itself in the Middle East. Our new ambassador to Israel is a fervent supporter of the state. And it gets down to where each of us find the moral high ground in that benighted part of the world. The U.S. took an interesting approach to what many will call the key point yesterday. John Kerry, the secretary of state, asked the Palestinian authority to recognize Israel’s right to exist and to exist in peace. It goes to the heart of what Canada’s new ambassador, Vivian Bercovici says, namely that the interminable conflict is caused by the refusal of some governments to recognize Israel on any terms.
