OTTAWA — Michael Ignatieff's trip to the Middle East has been called off by the Jewish group that invited him.
The Canada-Israel Committee confirmed today that it decided to uninvite Ignatieff and any other Liberal leadership hopefuls who had planned to take part in an all-party parliamentary delegation to Israel next month.
Sources say the committee does not want the annual trip to become a side show of the Liberal leadership race.
Probably worried he'd set fire to something.

Good point furgaia.
One can speculate on how the media would have framed the event:
Michael Ignatieff went to Israel to determine if they had commited war crimes. What did he find?
Though, lucky for the Israelis, Ignatieff won't become PM, let alone leader of the Liberal Party.
