(Macleans - Canada) Terrorists are deliberately placing people in the path of an Israeli offensive aimed at stopping rocket attacks from Gaza, says Prime Minister Stephen Harper. "The indiscriminate rocket attacks from Gaza on Israel are terrorist acts, for which there is no justification," Harper said in a statement issued Sunday. "It is evident that Hamas is deliberately using human shields to further terror in the region." "Failure by the international community to condemn these reprehensible actions would encourage these terrorists to continue their appalling actions," Harper said. "Canada calls on its allies and partners to recognize that these terrorist acts are unacceptable and that solidarity with Israel is the best way of stopping the conflict."
