Speaking for Canada's Conservative minority government, Peter Kent, Canada's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs (Americas), has put full blame for the Gaza tragedy at the feet of Hamas. Siding unconditionally with Israel, he stated: A thousand people gathered in a Montreal synagogue on January 9 to support Israel, but 15 Jews demonstrated outside. One of them, Aaron Lakoff, told the media, "We're here to denounce the massacre." The day before, 4,000 attended a rally to support Israel in Toronto, again with a smaller group of opponents demonstrating outside. In the vote, European members of the Council, as well as Japan and South Korea, abstained, because the resolution did not also offer a strong condemnation of the Hamas rocket attacks.
