“I hear them – and above all, I understand the pain that many Jewish and Israeli Canadians, including my own constituents, must be feeling. I apologize. To be clear, I unequivocally condemn terrorism by Hamas on thousands of Israeli civilians. I also believe that Israel’s bombardment and siege on civilians in Gaza, as was also noted by the United Nations, is wrong.”

I don’t see how people are taking this new comment as controversial. Terrorism is bad, a military attacking civilians is also bad.

The original comment that ignored the terrorist attack isn’t great, and I can see how people felt hurt by it though.
