Falk addressed the estimated crowd of 700 people and spoke of his experiences during his recent trip to Israel.

“Upon witnessing firsthand the threat of rockets overhead, I understand the fear that both Palestinian and Israelis are living with,” said Falk. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this conflict.”

Falk was joined at the rally by fellow Conservative MP’s Lawrence Toet, Joyce Bateman and the Hon. Shelly Glover.

“I admire Israel’s ability to maintain a prosperous democratic state despite being under the constant threat of terror and missile attacks,” added Falk. “Where Hamas uses people to protect their weapons, Israel uses weapons to protect their people. I am proud to stand with our government, the Government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, as a friend of Israel.”
