Eastern Shore For Palestine

Sean Fraser (Member of Parliament for Central Nova) has remained silent for almost a year as Israel commits atrocious acts of annihilation against a civilian population held captive in the tiny Gaza Strip, with the complete support of the Canadian government. As his constituents, we have been urging him for months on end through our heartfelt letters, emails, phone calls, and office visits to take a stand and to end Canada's complicity in this genocide. Sean has completely ignored his constituents, preferring to hide and pretend we don't exist. Enough is enough! Add your name to tell Sean that we will VOTE HIM OUT if he does not represent us on this issue.

To: House of Commons and Sean Fraser, MP, Central Nova
From: [Your Name]

We, the undersigned Citizens and Residents of Canada, draw your attention to the genocide being carried out by Israel in Gaza and call on you to do everything in your power to end Canadian complicity and bring about an immediate, permanent ceasefire and release of all Palestinian prisoners and hostages held in Gaza, by taking concrete actions including:

(1) Immediately suspend all trade in arms and military technology with Israel and work with Canadian labour unions to secure the livelihoods of workers in these industries;

(2) Demand unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza and increase funding to UNRWA;

(3) Uphold Canada's obligation under the UN’s Genocide Convention to prevent genocide by filing a declaration of intervention in South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and supporting full enforcement of its provisional orders;

(4) Enforce the international arrest warrants issued for top Israeli officials by the International Criminal Court (ICC) and impose sanctions on all Israeli military officers and current and former members of the war cabinet;

(5) Investigate all Canadian charities providing funds to illegal Israeli settlement activity and issue a public report of the findings;

(6) Remove the arbitrary and discriminatory applicant cap on Palestinian refugees fleeing atrocities and implement a transparent and fair visa program akin to Canada-Ukraine Authorization For Emergency Travel (CUAET);

(7) Investigate Canadians serving in the IDF and share the findings with the International Criminal Court; and

(8) Demand an end to the illegal occupation of the Palestinian Territories by Israel, officially recognize the State of Palestine under the Rome Statute, and affirm the right of Palestinian self-determination.

And we pledge not to vote for you in the next election unless you do.
