Speaking at a memorial ceremony for Jewish victims of last November’s terrorist attacks in Bombay, India, Prime Minister Harper called the killings “affronts to the values that unite all civilized people.”
“Under our government, Canada will remain an unyielding defender of Jewish religious freedom, a forceful opponent of anti-Semitism in all of its forms and a staunch supporter of a secure and democratic state of Israel," he said to applause.
Harper described the quick installment of a new rabbi at the Chabad center in Mumbai as a signal that the Jewish people will "never bow to violence and hatred."”
Well said.
