Obama Compares Israel-Palestine and Canada-U.S. Relations, Triggers Harsh Hashtag

The Toronto Sun reports on U.S. President Barack Obama comparing the Israeli-Palestinian relationship to the Canada-U.S. relationship.  As you can tell, some didn't appreciate the presidential Canadian name-drop:  

U.S. President Barack Obama is taking heat for comparing relations between Israel and Palestine with Canada and the U.S.

Because Canadians are known for hurling rockets into Buffalo, right?

Obama made the comparison in the West Bank Thursday, saying Canadians and Americans have disagreements, too, but resolve them diplomatically.

“We can’t afford to have our kids in bed sleeping and suddenly a rocket comes through the roof, but my argument is even though both sides may have areas of strong disagreement, may be engaging in activities the other side considers to be a breach of good faith, we have to push through those things to try to get to an agreement.”

Now, to be fair, Canadians (in a loose sense) burnt down the White House.
