Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s omitted to mention Jews in his statement last week on International Hololcaust Remembrance Day, causing furious reactions on social media, but the the text was reportedly an incorrect one issued by error.

The January 27 statement from Trudeau’s office mentioned the Holocaust, the Nazis and the danger of allowing hatred to spread, but didn’t mention the identity of the victims. It read as follows:

‘’On this day, we pay tribute to the memory of the millions of victims murdered during the Holocaust. We honour those who survived atrocities at the hands of the Nazi regime, and welcome their courageous stories of hope and perseverance.

The Holocaust is a stark reminder of the dangers and risks of allowing hate, prejudice, and discrimination to spread unchallenged. It also reminds us that silence must never be an option when humanity is threatened.

As we pause to educate ourselves and our families on the bitter lessons of the Holocaust, we also strengthen our resolve to work with domestic and international partners to continue defending human rights and condemning intolerance.’’

The omission drew disgusted responses on social media, expressing “shame” over the country’s new government, which was elected three months ago.

“Prime Minister Trudeau corrected any unintended impressions left by the initial statement on Holocaust Remembrance by issuing a further comment that addressed the issue of anti-Semitism in a direct and explicit way,” the Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs, a Canadian Jewish advocacy group said.

Trudeau’s statement came three days after Canadian Foreign Minister Stephane Dion issued a warning to Israel, saying “as a steadfast ally and friend to Israel, Canada calls for all efforts to be made to reduce violence and incitement and to help build the conditions for a return to the negotiating table.”

Dion’s office later also sought to tamp down anger over the statement with tweets, one saying “Canada condemns acts of incitement and heinous attacks against Israeli civilians in Israel & the West Bank” and another stating “our thoughts are with loved ones of Shlomit Krigman,” a 23-year-old woman who was killed in a January 25 stabbing by a Palestinian terrorist, “& other victims.”
