National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), declaration of Oct 9, 2023
” …We continue to be horrified by the escalating violence in Israel and Palestine. The attacks on innocent Israeli civilians – especially women and children – are unjustifiable. The attacks on innocent Palestinian civilians – especially women and children – are unjustifiable. As Muslims and as Canadians, we are horrified by images of Hamas targeting, killing, and hostage-taking of civilians. We are terrified by the open calls for genocide by Israeli political and military leaders and the incessant bombing taking place right now that is carrying out those calls. …”
