The following Petitions are directed towards Federal MPs and officials to halt the sale of weapons to Israel and to call for immediate end to evictions of Palestinians and violence perpetrated against them.

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
