GAZA, (PIC)-- The Change and Reform Bloc, representing Hamas in the Palestinian Legislative Council, denounced Sunday Canada for adding Hamas to the terrorist organizations list, calling the move partiality towards Israel and denial of the people's democratic choice.

“In light of Israeli arrogance, denial of Palestinian rights, war crimes, genocide on our people, as confirmed in the Goldstone report, and the freedom flotilla massacre...we are surprised that Canada has placed Hamas on the terror list.”

“[The decision] takes a hard stand against the victim and legitimizes the occupier's internationally rejected crimes, and denies that the majority of the people chose Hamas through democratic choice.”

The party went on to say the decision was “in line with the US administration's former decision known for its complete bias towards the Zionist enemy against the historic right of the Palestinians.”

“Our people and the Hamas movement will not be imposed to compromise their rights, but they will only be strengthened in the face of the Israeli occupation and become more committed to the people's choice of liberation from the occupation.”
