Canada loses important UN Security Council seat: Due to its support for Israel?
Importance of the UN Security Council
In the UN, the Security Council is an exclusive "club" --a small group that can impose its will on the 192 member nations of the UN.
The chief power holders of the Security Council are its permanent members: USA, China, Russia, France, Britain. 10 other members are elected by the 192 nations.
On Oct. 12, 2011 votes were cast and Canada was not selected for Security Council membership, while India, South Africa, and Colombia, and earlier, Germany, were.
News media, especially in Canada, are debating why this happened. The article below says,
THE REAL REASON FOR THE SNUB IS CANADA'S UNWAVERING SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL.

So let us not miss this opportunity to praise the Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper. He cost Canada a coveted seat on the UN Security Council, by refusing to sell out Israel. He withdrew our candidacy when it became apparent that the bloc vote of Arab and Islamic states (about a third of the UN membership) had been turned against us; thereby conceding the seat to Portugal, with her more flexible policy of moral appeasement.
Among all western nations -- not excluding the United States -- Canada has taken the clearest stand in defence of Israel's legitimate rights and interests. We have paid, and we will continue to pay for this. And we should take genuine pride in paying for our defiance of efforts by the Arab and Muslim bloc at the UN to isolate Israel, and make her a pariah.
....Our government is rather maintaining a policy that has been consistent for more than six decades, since the state of Israel was created by the same United Nations after the Second World War.
I cannot be more PROUD of the Prime Minister of CANADA !
His strength and courage in standing with ISRAEL IS MOST
ADMIRABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE CAN BE SURE TO SAY BOLDLY THAT GOD IS WITH US
and that ..... JESUS IS TRULY LORD AND KING OVER CANADA !

Hi Elizabeth,
It is so good when Canadians such as yourself speak out about government policy toward Israel in terms of how actions taken in world affairs line up with God's Word in the Bible.

This is truly amazing and exciting to be part of a country that stands up for what is honorable and right. I'm in the Canadian forces stationed at CFB Cold Lake and I would just like to say that I'm proud serving a country that is full of valour,integrity and commitment. God bless Israel, Canada, and our PM until our Lord's second coming!

In addition to organizing opposition to Canada's Security Council bid, the Emirates have now unilaterally withdrawn Canadian access to Camp Mirage, which we have been using through the last decade in the deployment of our troops to Afghanistan.

Who would have thought a President in this day and age, where almost everyone goes along with 'the in thing' would courageously stand up, alone, when he knew the world would turn against him? Surely Almighty God will not overlook that choice but rather bless him for it, also everyone that stands with him and encourages him. Surely the enemy will be heated against him and this land. Yet who do we want to fear; God or man?
We are so glad Stephen Harper was willing to 'choose life instead of death' in the decision to stand with Israel. May he not give in. Rather, may everyone that's following step by step, precept upon precept, line upon line, the Word of God, hold fast and diligently continue on in THE TRUTH till death of the body.
Yahweh's Torah is life to us. Jesus(Yahshua) walked THE TORAH Himself and asks us to follow Him.
