Israel is massacring Palestinians in schools. Canada is still arming Israel.
On Aug 20 we are flooding our MPs inboxes, voicemails and socials to demand they end the Canada-Israel arms trade and endorse the call for an #ArmsEmbargoNow.

This evening, I joined B’nai Brith Canada for their Award of Merit Gala to recognize their longstanding contributions to Ontario’s Jewish community.
For more than 150 years, B’nai Brith has championed human rights, fought antisemitism and provided support to vulnerable Canadians. We’ll keep working together to build safer, stronger communities across Ontario.

It’s called collective punishment and forced displacement. It is illegal under international law.
Israeli forces demolished homes and damaged roads in Hebron in the occupied West Bank, forcing around 1,200 Palestinians to leave their homes a day after a Palestinian attack killed two Israeli soldiers reut.rs/3ULnOwX

It’s time for PM Carney to put his Davos comments into action.
Canada standing against Trump’s illegal fuel blockade of Cuba and helping send energy to Cuba is a perfect opportunity to do so.

Palestinians attacked occupation soldiers, Israelis attacking the occupied civilians. Every time.

Flavio Bolsonaro mocked Brazilian President Lula's missing finger during their final election debate, saying he gives Brazilians with one hand but “takes away with nine fingers.”
Lula: He called me "nine fingers." If there's anyone who knows what the world of work is like, it's me. I worked at night, even when I wasn't supposed to be working.
I will not allow a militiaman to call me "nine fingers!" He has never worked a day in his life. He doesn't know what an employment record book is.
His first job was fake, working for his father. And now he comes and calls me "nine fingers?"

I was on a call the other night with someone in the West Bank just before Israel forced hundreds out of their homes in Hebron.
It's not hard to make direct contacts with people in the West Bank. Hear for yourself what life under Israeli occupation is.

There won’t be a peep of criticism of these atrocities from Canadian Prime Minister @MarkJCarney or his soul-less Foreign Minister @AnitaAnandMP. They’re too busy writing Carney’s acceptance speech for Time’s Person of the Year award.
