[QUOTE]Prime Minister Stephen Harper and a sizable entourage have arrived for his first official state visit to Israel. The six-day Middle East tour will include stops in the West Bank and Jordan.

Harper's plane left Ottawa on Saturday evening, with six cabinet ministers on board, along with 30 business people and community leaders.
Harper and his wife, Laureen, were greeted by Avigdor Lieberman, Israel's foreign affairs minister, and by Vivian Bercovici, Canada's ambassador-designate to the Jewish state.

"The total delegation is probably about 250," said the CBC's Terry Milewski from Jerusalem. "That includes the RCMP and the media of course [and] about 21 rabbis by my count, some presidents of various companies also, who are paying their own way. It's a big, big delegation."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made an official speech to the Canadian delegation calling Harper "a great friend of Israel and the Jewish people."

Netanyahu praised Harper for standing by Israel on issues including Iran's nuclear program, and terrorism.

"You have shown great moral leadership when it comes to fighting terrorism," said Netanyahu. "When it comes to anti-Semitism, you've stood up unabashedly at the sight of Israel and the entire Jewish people."

Harper will address Israel's parliament, the Knesset, on Monday, making history as the first Canadian prime minister to do so.

He is by the very definition of democracy a representation of most Canadians, even if he isn't, if you know what I mean

I don't think it would matter who our PM is. Since were under US sphere of influence they'd be pro-Israel no matter what. Or at least Israel neutral. Gotta go along with what big daddy wants and big daddy likes Israel for now.
