In my opinion, the video does not incite hate. It is a version of history that justifies war. The speaker skipped over Canadian Lester Pearson's diplomatic solution to the Suez Canal crisis of 1956. Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957. Then, as now, Middle East conflicts are about Big Oil. Today, it is also about Big Weapons. The Suez Canal crisis came less than a decade after WW2, we still felt repelled by global conflict. Now, 75 years on, many of us have no personal experience with the horrors of war. Let us not forget Canada's 1950's legacy for Peace Keeping by Diplomacy.
