You would have to ask him but I take it to mean he was brought even closer to God.
Yes, let your fellow man wreak havoc, and don't even think of interfering, leave it to G-d to mend things.

Your attitude stinks ...🙊
(And I won't bother with where it comes from...)

Anyways, since you seem the type to want to be closer to G-d, I have a plan or two up my sleeve.

Not sure where that is coming from but enjoy the rest of your day.

I think it's a fair question. Thoughts?

It's a fair question that a Jew is allowed to ask, but not a gentile. Kinda like making fun of Jewish noses.

I disagree

Usually, non-Jews who ask this aren't because they love Jews.
Kinda like what Satmar Ruv z"l said on non-Jewish anti-Zionists.

Not sure I see the problem, if the embassador's job is to be the go-between the Canadian government and Israel why not chose someone the Israelis won't see as a threat?

I assume there are plenty of people who aren't Jewish who could accomplish that. We are a very pro Israel country.
Why choose someone who could be perceived as having a conflict of interests.

OTOH, I hear this question being offensive if asked about a black or Latino man being an ambassador to [fill in the check] so maybe it's not a fair question

Someone Jewish knows the Israeli mentality a lot better. Precisely because Canada is such a pro Israel country, sending someone with Israel's best intentions in mind doesn't seem like a conflict of interests.

Canada is an anti-Israel country.
Stephen Harper is a true ohev yisrael and as a poel yotzei also very pro-Israel. He chose his ministers in his mold.
