B’nai Brith Canada Urges Bloc Quebecois MP, Maria Mourani, to Apologize

MONTREAL - B’nai Brith Canada is calling on Maria Mourani, the Bloc Quebecois Member of Parliament for Ahuntsic. to publicly apologize to her constituents and the wider Canadian community for her role, however inadvertent, in the dangerous spread of hate.

In an email to parliamentary colleagues focusing on the recent war in Gaza, Ms. Mourani apparently unwittingly forwarded links to videos praising terrorist groups outlawed in Canada, amongst them Hamas and Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades. The Jewish human rights organization is calling on her to publicly apologize to her constituents and the wider Canadian community for her role, however inadvertent, in the dangerous spread of hate.

“Maria Mourani has admitted that she failed to watch all the videos that were linked to the email she disseminated to fellow parliamentarians,” said Frank Dimant, Executive Vice President of B’nai Brith Canada. “This irresponsible action makes her an unwitting tool in the spread of dangerous hate propaganda.

“This incident highlights the relative ease with which Hamas and other terrorist groups are able to infiltrate all levels of society to further their insidious agenda of violence and hate.

“We call on Maria Mourani to publicly apologize to her constituents and the wider Canadian public for behavior unbecoming a Member of Parliament. She should have considered the impact of her email and recognized that such messaging is part and parcel of a global propaganda campaign that seeks the destruction of the Jewish State.

“We note Maria Mourani’s ongoing disregard for the suffering of Israeli civilians and her record of failing to single out terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah as the reasons why so many civilians on all sides of the Middle East conflict continue to suffer greatly.”

In the summer of 2006, Mourani was forced to retract comments after accusing Israel of war crimes in Lebanon.
