A Clownish Position

I was not sure what my first posting would be about but here it is:
Canada votes against the UN Human Rights Council's resolution condemning Israel of "massive violations" of the human rights of Palestinians. And Canada is the ONLY country that voted against it. Ok.. I understand that the Harper government believes that the Palestinians do not have human rights in the first place, but did this government have to look so idiotic and clownish? Here is one thing to remember: the Palestinians do not care about what the Canadian government thinks, let alone what the whole world thinks, because they know very well no government can stop or has ever stopped the Israelis from violating human rights. The Canadian government's position was just an embarassment and a further damage to the reputation of Canada.
