My joint statement with @Keir_Starmer and @EmmanuelMacron on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank: “We strongly oppose the expansion of Israel’s military operations in Gaza. The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable. Yesterday’s announcement that Israel will allow a basic quantity of food into Gaza is wholly inadequate. We call on the Israeli Government to stop its military operations in Gaza and immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. This must include engaging with the UN to ensure a return to delivery of aid in line with humanitarian principles. We call on Hamas to release immediately the remaining hostages they have so cruelly held since 7 October 2023. The Israeli Government’s denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable and risks breaching International Humanitarian Law. We condemn the abhorrent language used recently by members of the Israeli Government, threatening that, in their despair at the destruction of Gaza, civilians will start to relocate. Permanent forced displacement is a breach of international humanitarian law.  Israel suffered a heinous attack on October 7. We have always supported Israel’s right to defend Israelis against terrorism. But this escalation is wholly disproportionate. We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response. We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank. Israel must halt settlements which are illegal and undermine the viability of a Palestinian state and the security of both Israelis and Palestinians.  We will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions.  We strongly support the efforts led by the United States, Qatar and Egypt to secure an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. It is a ceasefire, the release of all remaining hostages and a long-term political solution that offer the best hope of ending the agony of the hostages and their families, alleviating the suffering of civilians in Gaza, ending Hamas’ control of Gaza and achieving a pathway to a two-state solution, consistent with the goals of the 18 June conference in New York co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France. These negotiations need to succeed, and we must all work towards the implementation of a two-state solution, which is the only way to bring long-lasting peace and security that both Israelis and Palestinians deserve and ensure long-term stability in the region. We will continue to work with the Palestinian Authority, regional partners, Israel and the United States to finalize consensus on arrangements for Gaza’s future, building on the Arab plan. We affirm the important role of the High-level Two-State Solution Conference at the UN in June in building international consensus around this aim. And we are committed to recognizing a Palestinian state as a contribution to achieving a two-state solution and are prepared to work with others to this end.”

In addition to addressing Canada’s ongoing discrimination in Jordan’s Principle, this important hearing is linked to what happens in First Nations child and family. Tune in and find out why

Back in 1989, the CBC reported that the Jewish National Fund of Canada had used tax-deductible funds to finance “Canada Park” on the ruins of Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank. It took 35 years to announce revoking their charitable status. @IndJewishVoices

This is an historic decision, codifying what has long been known in the international legal community, but giving further support to the struggle for Palestinian liberation & providing another stepping stone in the path toward ending apartheid, colonialism & genocide in Palestine

All states and international organizations must end any aid or assistance to the occupation and must take action to ensure that Israel complies and ends the occupation.

The World Court has just rejected all Israeli, US & western objections, ruled that the Israeli occupation of Gaza & the West Bank, including East Jerusalem (and all settlements), is entirely unlawful & declares Israel is committing racial segregation/apartheid in the OPT.

The Toronto police violently attacked and arrested two protesters who carried Palestine flag.

@oliviachow must publicly condemn this violent @TorontoPolice assault on peaceful protestors exercising their constitutional right and moral duty to protest against a genocide

This Palestinian Chilean recounts how her family left Palestine in 1948 following the Deir Yassin massacre.

That reminds me. Whatever happened to @JustinTrudeau’s plans to plant 2 billion trees?

Today will go down in the history of international law. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has applied for arrest warrants against Netanyahu & Gallant and Sinwar, Deif & Haniyeh. It's a game changer in global politics & the Israel-Palestine conflict.🧵 icc-cpi.int/news/statement-i…

A CBC producer is lifting the veil on how the broadcaster whitewashed Israel’s horrors in Gaza. In a tell-all essay, she describes the inner workings of newsrooms where double standards and biases sidelined the truth—before she resigned in protest. breachmedia.ca/cbc-whitewash…
