The argument up north

Some members of Canada's parlament have had a falling out over how Hezbollah should be viewed by Canadians. Conservative MP Jason Kenney distilled the issue quite nicely when Liberal Borys Wrzesnewskyj began sounding a little too friendly to Hezbollah during a trip to Lebanon:
"There was another political party in the past which had democratic support, which provided social services, which played an important role in the political life of its country in Germany in the 1930s which was also dedicated to violence against the Jewish people," Mr. Kenney told reporters. "The world was wrong to negotiate with that party then and it would be wrong to negotiate with Hezbollah today and I'm shocked that Mr. Wrzesnewskyj doesn't understand that."
