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 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, we must 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 now support the people and land of Israel. 

The time to stand up for the people of Israel is now! Tell PM Trudeau the problem isn't Israel, it's Hamas.
