We have watched in horror as Israel has killed over 40,000 Palestinians, over half of them children. Thousands more are missing, buried in the rubble of the Gaza Strip. Three-quarters of all Gazans are already in “emergency” or “catastrophic” levels of food insecurity; famine is imminent, as Israel blocks food from entering Gaza and kills aid workers, in defiance of the International Court of Justice. The UN Security Council has voted to demand a ceasefire in Gaza— a binding motion that Israel has ignored.

The majority of countries of the world, and the majority of people in Canada want the killing to stop, want unhindered aid to the people of Gaza, and real justice for Palestinians.

Instead of being a global leader for justice and peace, the Canadian government is taking minor symbolic actions, while continuing to support and profit off of Israeli aggression by buying and selling the weapons being used to murder Palestinians.

We know that politicians only care about their votes. There are contingents growing in more and more neighbourhoods across the country that are uniting to call on our Members of Parliament to take action against these atrocities or risk being defeated in the next election.
