Canadian UN Ambassador Bob Rae Stays for Netanyahu Speech | “That’s My Job”

Finally — a politician who gets it right. Bob Rae’s response to Netanyahu’s UN speech was a refreshing example of true political discourse.

In this video, I discuss Canadian UN Ambassador Bob Rae and his decision not to walk out on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s UN General Assembly speech. When asked why, Rae simply responded: “That’s my job.” This moment stood out as a positive step in political discourse, showing what true diplomacy and respectful politics should look like. In an era where walking out or shutting down opponents has become the norm, Rae demonstrated the importance of listening to people you don’t agree with to understand where they are coming from. From Canadian politics today and Canada–Israel relations to broader lessons about political leadership, this was exactly the kind of answer we need more of.
