Is it possible that Stephen Harper's unconditional support for Israel is related to his decision to take proactive steps to reduce unfavourable precedents for dealing with First Nations Land Claims. If Israel is discouraged by Canada from cleansing the West Bank of Palestinians, would this provide a precedent supporting far more generous terms for settling land claims in Canada? If Canada refuses to criticize Israel's behaviour, this avoids the preceding presedent.
