      1. So, Stephen Harper went to Israel where he serenaded Benjamin Netanyahu with a wonky rendition of "Hey Jude" http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/draft-harper-serenades-netanyahu/article16444477/ …

      2. Goofiness of Harper's "Hey Jude" aside what are we to make of fact that Canada is now best friend Netanyahu's gov't has on world stage?

      3. Usually explanation is that Harper's tilt towards Israel is him fishing for Jewish & evangelical Christian votes.

      4. I think the usual explanation is partially true but not fully true. Harper's philo-Zionism isn't just about politics, but also sincere.

      5. Harper is not a man of many principles, at least not one's he won't tactically abandon but his philo-Zionism has ring of sincerity.

      6. To become Prime Minister & retain power, Harper has had to moderate himself on many issues, but diplomacy gives him more free expression

      7. Canadians by & large don't care about foreign policy so long as we're not in a shooting war. PM has room on these issues.

      8. Harper is the flipside of BDS. As Israel alienates liberals abroad it also becomes more popular with conservatives.

      9. The very qualities that liberals find dismaying in Likud's Israel - land seizures, militarism, xenophobia - make it popular on the right

          10. What I've been calling philo-Zionism might be more accurately called vicarious Zionism, a longing to share in Israel's struggle

          11. I'll say this for Stephen Harper: he's made me nostalgic for Brian Mulroney seranading "Irish Eyes" to Ronald Reagan.
