TORONTO- The Central and Eastern European Council of Canada (CEEC), representing the interests of 4.5 million Canadians of Central and Eastern European heritage, is outraged by these cowardly and unprovoked acts of violence, which have targeted innocent civilians and stands with the Jewish community in Canada to unequivocally condemn them.
The targeting of civilians by Hamas and the rockets that have been indiscriminately fired into Israeli cities and towns, killing and injuring innocent men, women, and children is a clear violation of international law and human rights.
We condemn Hamas’s taking of civilians hostage, the cold-blooded slaughter of innocent Israeli men, women, children, and the elderly, and reports of sexual violence against Israeli women who attended a peaceful music festival attacked by Hamas.
We call on the government of Canada to take action against the Iranian government for its material support of Hamas and the Russian government, including weapons of terror that are indiscriminately used against innocent civilians in Israel and Ukraine. This includes placing the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps on Canada’s Terrorist entity list, and investigating and prosecuting Canadians who are profiting from the supply of weapons to Hamas, Russia, or any other organizations involved in terror operations against Canada’s allies.
