Liberals MPs spent Wednesday evening doing damage control in the wake of news reports about a politically embarrassing video of a Palestinian terror leader thanking Canada for supporting a ceasefire in Gaza. “Our statement was clear: for a ceasefire to be sustainable, Hamas must release all hostages, stop using Palestinian civilians as human shields, and lay down its arms,” the statement read. “We want to see this pause resumed and support urgent international efforts towards a sustainable ceasefire,” read the joint statement. “You’re backpedaling after a barbaric terrorist group thanked you for your support because a Hamas endorsement is a political problem for you,” Lantsmen wrote. Aligning Canada with Hamas & not the Palestinian people was a choice.”Lantsman called out Saks for waiting until after this week’s humiliating thumbs-up from Hamas.
