Iranian Canadian politician Goldie Ghamari has condemned a “pro-Hamas” rally in Canada as she expressed concern about the rising hate and anger she has witnessed in her community.
Ms Ghamari delivered a speech in the Canadian Parliament about her family escaping Iran after the Islamic Revolution, drawing comparisons to the terrorist regime in Gaza under Hamas.
“That’s the same regime that spreads anti-Semitic information and propaganda,” she told the Ontario Legislature in Canada.
Demonstrations which took place shortly after Hamas’ terrorist attack against Israel on October 7 have been condemned by the Canadian Prime Minister and other authorities after some protesters glorified the terrorist group’s violence.
The Canadian MPP said the rallies were the first time in her life she felt “uncomfortable” as a Canadian.
“That is the kind of behaviour you see in radical, fundamentalist countries - not in Canada.
“That is not the Canada my parents emigrated to, that is not the Canada that we were raised in.”
