declare as acts of terror, the constant barrage of rocket fire from Gaza against the people of Israel.

Hamas and other terrorist groups as recognized by the state department are firing rockets from Gaza on cities throughout the State of Israel – on Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Beer Sheba, Sderot and other cities in Israel. Canada has already condemned the brazen and indiscriminate attacks that Hamas continues to wage on Israel and called them acts of terrorism. In a statement on Canada's foreign mister's Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/honjohnbaird - John Baird said, "Canada believes that Israel has every right to defend itself, by itself, from such belligerent acts of terrorism." The US state department needs to confirm this statement and protect the dignity of our ally Israel by condemning terrorism.
