I understand why Kerry made his comments when he did.  The end of the Obama's term in office is an appropriate time to highlight the objective truth that a democratic Israel cannot survive a one state solution and that the actions of the current Government of Israel make a two-state solution increasingly improbable.  An earlier statement of this nature would only have complicated US-Israel relations to no useful end.

I understand Canada's statement.  It's implicitly in support of Kerry's statement but avoids getting into a useless standoff with the current Government of Israel.

I don't understand the Federal Conservative Party's response.  Is it anything other than a partisan appeal to elements in its base given that it does nothing to promote progress in the toxic Isreali-Palestani standoff and simply encourages the current Israel Government to believe it has useful support for its excessively hard-line and dangerous policies?
