Mr. Speaker, across Canada tomorrow, rallies are being planned to celebrate the martyrs of Hamas. Let us be honest about who they are celebrating. They are not martyrs; they are monsters. They raped, tortured and murdered nearly 1,200 innocent Jews on October 7, 2023, and now their supporters plan to dance in our streets.
This is not free speech; it is hate speech meant to intimidate. This is not protest; it is glorifying terror.
Eighty years ago, the world said “never again”. The Nuremberg laws showed us that hate begins where it ends. When people cheer for those who slaughter Jews, history is repeating itself in real time.
If Canada cannot call evil by its name, then we have lost more than our moral compass: We have lost our soul.
I will not stay silent. I say shame on the Liberal government; shame.
