Israeli President: "Gazan People Not Our Enemy, We Have No War with Islam"

(Jerusalem Post) Yvette J. Deane - Israeli President Reuven Rivlin said on Tuesday during a diplomatic visit to Canada, "The people of Gaza are not our enemy. We have no war with Islam." Rivlin added, "For years, our citizens in the south have lived with missiles from Gaza. Sleeping in bomb shelters, night after night for years, is a reality that is hard to grasp. Just last week a rocket fired from Gaza hit a house in the center of Israel and wounded seven people, including a six-month-old baby. These rockets are fired by Hamas, a ruthless and cruel terrorist organization." "I want to thank you not only for your friendship, but for your moral leadership....Unfortunately, we live in a time where moral leadership is not always valued. The UN Human Rights Council has been taken over by human rights violators, and many countries prioritize their economic ties with radical regimes like Iran, instead of speaking up against tyranny and terror....Israel and Canada can work together with other like-minded countries to build a new global alliance based on moral leadership and responsibility."
