Rhetoric such as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent remarks enables Hamas to continue to use the Palestinian civilian population as human shields to advance its genocidal goal. The blood of dead babies – Israeli and Palestinian – is on Hamas.   

And, while surely not his intent, Mr. Trudeau’s assertions also fuel antisemitism at home here in Canada.  

Unless Israel destroys these terrorists, Hamas will continue to destroy the hopes of a future peace in the Middle East. If Canada wants to contribute to sustainable peace for Palestinians and Israelis, it will stand firmly with Israel as it works tirelessly to remove the murderous Hamas regime from Gaza.  

No one can dismiss the loss of innocent Palestinian civilian life, but anything less than eradication of the terrorist infrastructure condemns the region to perpetual suffering for everyone. We must all be resolute in achieving this objective. This is not just Israel’s fight – it is the struggle of all who value democracy, freedom, and the rule of law.    

It couldn’t be any clearer: Hamas’ terrorism must be removed from the region. Israel’s efforts to minimize civilian casualties while eliminating Hamas go well beyond those required by international law. Just as Israel would support Canada if we were invaded by terrorists, Canada must stand with the people and land of Israel now.  

We need your help to tell our government that the time to stand up for the people and land of Israel and for Canada’s Jewish community is now.

Raise your voice. Participate in our Action Alert to encourage our elected leaders to reject this recent rhetoric that threatens Canada’s support of Israel’s war against terrorism. It takes just a minute to urge our leaders to add their voices to our just cause supporting democracy and rejecting hate and terrorism.
