I have visited the holy sites — the Western Wall, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. I was struck by worshippers’ devotion, their spirituality. This type of aggression should be unacceptable to everyone. We need a path to peace, not violence.

3/3. Canada must now take action to stand in solidarity with human rights, including banning settlement products and recognizing the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court so that human rights violators in the region can be appropriately investigated and prosecuted.

Reminder: Al-Aqsa, along with all of East Jerusalem, is illegally occupied land as defined by intl law. It is not part of Israel under any standards of intl law. Israeli forces in East Jerusalem should be defined as nothing less than an invasion. You know, like in Ukraine.

Minister Mélanie Joly the time of strongly worded statements are over. Here is a list of actions within your power to send a clear message to the Netanyahu regime that these violent escalations and brutal violations of international law will have international consequences.

Canada consistently votes against UNGA resolutions supporting Palestinians or condemning Israel human rights violations. As Canadas representative to the UN, you are in a position of power to take concrete action against these crimes. This weak statement does not suffice.

Minister Alghabra, you approved a $36M drone contract with Israel’s largest arms company, Elbit Systems, which markets its weapons as “field tested” after testing them on civilians in Gaza. Canada must sanction apartheid Israel & end all arms deals with them immediately.

Quick reminder to journalists that the Old City of Jerusalem (including Al-Aqsa mosque) is not in Israel, it is located entirely within occupied East Jerusalem. I'm amazed by how few stories acknowledge this critical contextual detail.

Not only has Canada again failed to take any concrete action against Israeli human rights violations, but PM Justin Trudeau fails to condemn Israel & condemns instead the response to this colonial violence. It is time Canada stops supporting Israeli apartheid. #SanctionsOnIsrael

The resolution overwhelmingly passed at the 2021 NDP convention is a good place to start: 1) Stop Canadian trade with illegal Israel settlements (they're all illegal) 2) Suspend Canada-Israel military ties until Israel upholds Palestinian rights

Thousands of Israeli settlers marched through the northern West Bank today towards the Palestinian village of Beita flanked by Israeli regime forces. Among them were dozens of Israeli regime ministers & lawmakers. Meanwhile Palestinians were tear gassed & their roads closed.

The ONDP has forced new MPP Sarah Jama to un-tweet (and possibly delete her Twitter account?) because she retweeted legal scholar Noura Erakat on the death of a Palestinian hunger-striker whose treatment was condemned by many human rights groups and UN human rights experts. Pathetic.

OTTAWA - Join us today at 2pm at the Human Rights Monument (220 Elgin) to commemorate 75 years of ongoing Nakba.
