Letter: Gaza protesters should consider both sides

Do they realize that Hamas has one mandate which is to kill all Jewish people?

Protesters call for a cease-fire outside MP Anthony Rota's office.

Editor's note: Mr. Brown writes in response to the BayToday story Ceasefire NOW Nipissing accuses Rota of 'staying silent' on Gaza.

To the editor:

Why does "Cease Fire Now Nipissing" not call for condemning the atrocities of October 7th and the return of the hostages still being held in Gaza?

Do they understand that Israel turned over control of Gaza to the Palestinians in 2005 and that their citizens chose Hamas to administer their country?

Do they realize that Hamas has one mandate which is to kill all Jewish people?

Former Prime Minister, Stephen Harper understands that Israel is obligated to defend itself and is not shy about supporting good against evil.

All Canadians should do the same.
