We encourage you to write a letter to our local MP Lloyd Longfield here are key points:
We urgently call on Canada to:
· Call for immediate and unconditional cease fire. Israel continues to target innocent civilians, the hospital and media in Palestine and it must stop immediately.
· Immediately, call for Israel to unconditionally halt the violence in Jerusalem and suspend the expulsion of Palestinian families from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah.
· Work with allies to use diplomatic means to pressure Israel to stop their current policies on forced evictions.
· Reinforce the sanctity of religious sites like the Al-Aqsa Mosque from state and police violence
· Renew international efforts to pursue a two-state solution and vocally reject actions that undermine these efforts such as continuing growth and establishment of illegal settlements
· Safeguard the lives of those under occupation who face unequal and disproportionate outcomes from COVID-19

6 Thoughts to 'Action for Palestine'

18 May 2021 at 7:38 PMI am very disappointed to hear the response from Canadian Government regarding situation in Palestine. The response was very diplomatic. International leadership including Canadian leadership turned blind eye to the injustice and atrocities caused by Israel in Palestine. It is good to be sympathetic to the victims of this violence on both sides but at the same time the extreme and indiscriminate retaliation by powerful Israeli government towards defenseless Palestinian population should not be ignored. I also condemn the actions of Hamas that caused more harm to Palestinian citizens, specially children.
I strongly appeal to our government and leadership to condemn the atrocities and injustices by Israeli government and show your impartiality.
