Mayor speaks

Mayor Yu denounces threats made to members of Jewish community

Oct 13, 2023 | 5:34 AM

PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George Mayor Simon Yu has released a statement in support of Canada’s Jewish community.

It’s in response to threats made to Jews and as Hamas called for a ‘day of rage’ Friday (Oct.13).

“Prince George is a city of prosperity, peace and progress, not hate. This week we heard and saw record of countless tragic terrorist attacks indiscriminately targeted at Israeli civilians. Our city is horrified.

As Mayor, I denounce and condemn the acts of the terrorism by Hamas, a group which the Government of Canada has rightly identified as a terrorist organization. I unequivocally denounce and condemn murder, kidnapping and rape of innocent Israeli civilians.

Anyone who feels threatened online or by other means, I urge you to contact the RCMP.
