Ursomarzo Still Waiting for DiNovo's Response to Pro-Hezbollah Comments Campaign Still Boasts Endorsement by MP Peggy Nash, "Team" Member
In an open letter sent via e-mail on Monday, August 21, 2006, Ursomarzo gave DiNovo the opportunity to distance herself from Nash's comments about Hezbollah:
"On behalf of the voters of Parkdale-High Park, I essentially asked Ms. DiNovo to re-assure us that she does not share Ms. Nash's views about Hezbollah", said Ursomarzo today. "However, to date, the DiNovo campaign has remained silent. DiNovo has neither pulled Ms. Nash's endorsement nor expressed any disagreement with Ms. Nash's views on the anti-Semitic Hezbollah organization and its anti-Israel agenda. "Hezbollah is an organization whose goal it is to remove Israel from the map. It is, by its nature, a murderous, anti-Semitic organization. For a Canadian to promote the toleration of Hezbollah's fundraising activities in Canada, as Ms. Nash has, is for a person to tolerate fundraising for the slaughter of human beings. It is morally repulsive. "If it is merely the case that Ms. DiNovo has not yet had the opportunity to check her messages and respond, then I will be among those most happy to receive her response. However, I think that were Ms. DiNovo to try to win this by-election with the unqualified endorsement of someone who holds Ms. Nash's views about Hezbollah, that would be most unfortunate. I sincerely hope that Ms. DiNovo does not remain silent."
