The Gene C. Colman Family Law Centre unequivocally condemns the murders, kidnappings and other unspeakable acts that Hamas (an organization that the Government of Canada has designated as a terror group) has perpetrated against hundreds of civilians of all ages in Israel.

I, Gene C. Colman, add my voice to the many others who have stepped up for morality and against terror.

Let me be clear.  There is no moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas.

Amidst the chaos and burgeoning anti-Jewish hate fest which is rampant now throughout the world, there is still room for hope.  I express my deep appreciation to all my non-Jewish clients and former clients as well as professional colleagues, neighbours, friends, acquaintances, and others who have reached out in recent days and weeks to provide comfort and encouragement to me.  You have identified with my pain and the anguish of my people.  I thank each and every one of you.  I know that you have my back; I know that you are righteous, caring and equally shocked with the horrors as am I.  My wife and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
