Ottawa, ON – The Hon. Pierre Poilievre, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and the Official Opposition, released the following statement on the First Anniversary of the October 7th terror attacks:
“One year ago today, genocidal and sadistic terrorists carried out the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust. They burned people alive, tortured children in front of their parents, mutilated dead civilians and posted these demonic cruelties online for the world to see. All while their cowardly bosses and benefactors watched from Tehran and other faraway safe-havens. 101 hostages are still being held. Let them go.
“Meanwhile, Jews in Canada face grotesque antisemitism in the streets and by the two-faced and weak leadership of their Prime Minister placating lawless mobs.
“And yet, Israel and the Jewish people live on and fight on. Western democratic values depend on destroying Tehran’s proxy armies of Hamas and Hezbollah.
“Canada’s Conservatives have not and will not waver. We won’t bow to the radical, woke, anti-Zionist Jew haters. Because “Never Again” is now, tomorrow and every day after. We unapologetically stand with Israel through fire and water. And unite with Jews to say, ‘Am Yisrael Chai!'”
