Dear Minister:
Along with thousands of others, I was amazed that in your opinion no one but the CBC objects to your close relationship with Israel. I'm not sure what bearing the absence of objection in the Middle East has to do with it but here at home, Canadians, your constituents, strongly object and your dismissal of this fact points up the disregard you have for the people to whom you are responsible.
If the CBC mentions it, at least it gets brought to your attention, apparently, when we have not been able to reach you, that this country, Israel, is freely practicing apartheid, ethnic cleansing, even genocide, and you and your government support it without even questioning it. Like the corporations that hold sway over you here it is apparent that Israel has managed to do the same abroad.
We can only hold our heads in our hands and grieve at how we allowed a Canadian government to bring us to this depth. We must take the blame ourselves and try harder to find ways to get people to vote, not the thirty-odd per cent that did their worst in the last election. Now, what with the Ford ignominy, we know which element of voters put you and him in power.
One can hardly find fault when we know that nothing we can do will ever reach you, that so many Canadians know there is no efficacy in their vote now but we must dig ourselves out of the mire you have dropped us in to. And one of the first things we must do is sever your ties with Israel.
Respectfully,
Janet Hudgins
