Today CJPME and over 75 organizations are issuing an open letter calling for Ministers @melaniejoly, @HonAhmedHussen, and @MarcMillerVM to resign unless immediate and meaningful action is taken in response to the risk of genocide in Gaza. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
Canadians expect our leaders to uphold international law. Despite @UN and @CIJ_ICJ warnings of genocide in Gaza, the Canadian government and ministers @melaniejoly, @HonAhmedHussen, and @MarcMillerVM have exacerbated the crisis. They are failing Palestinians and Canadians.
It has been 2 months since the Gaza Crisis Program has been put in place, with the objective of reunifying Palestinian Canadians with their loved ones. The program has been put with additional complications that has never been seen before.

Yesterday in Parliament, NDP foreign affairs critic @HMcPhersonMP called out the refusal of some MPs to talk about human rights in Yemen and Palestine. “Children in Palestine are being murdered, and neither of the parties will talk about that.” #cdnpoli
@HMcPhersonMP @HMcPhersonMP: “It is not okay that the Liberal Party or the Conservative Party refuses to talk about human rights in Yemen, as both of them are complicit in the selling of arms to the regime that is propping up that war.” cc: @LAATCanada
@HMcPhersonMP @LAATCanada @HMcPhersonMP: “It is not all right that neither one of them will talk about human rights in Palestine. Children in Palestine are being murdered, and neither of the parties will talk about that.”

The @UN's Commission of Inquiry has found that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory is illegal, due to its permanency and Israel's actions of de facto annexation. We expect 🇨🇦 to uphold int'l law and support its findings. @BobRae48 @CanadaUN @ArbeiterRichard #UNGA77 "There are reasonable ...
@UN @BobRae48 @CanadaUN @ArbeiterRichard Under international law, states are allowed to temporarily occupy territory under certain conditions. However, this comes with legal obligations, many of which Israel has been illegally violating for years (for example, on settlements and the annexation of East Jerusalem).
@UN @BobRae48 @CanadaUN @ArbeiterRichard Now, a UN report has gone further and concludes that the occupation is itself illegal, due to Israel's intent to maintain the occupation permanently and its actions to annex parts of the land. It calls for an immediate end to Israel's illegal occupation. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

This week a group of masked settlers lynched a 70-year-old Jewish Israeli woman who was accompanying a Palestinian farmer for the olive harvest in the West Bank. They attacked her with clubs until she bled, after which they beat her in the head with rocks. 972mag.com/edition/lynchi…
This incident is part of a wave of escalating settler terrorism, with Israeli officials identifying 100 acts of settler violence against Palestinians in the last days. In some cases, soldiers openly joined the mobs in their campaigns of terror. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
Read this harrowing account of a family's trip from Ramallah to Nablus (which has been under lockdown by the Israeli military), when mobs of settlers threw stones at their car. 972mag.com/face-to-face-w…

This critical @UN 🇺🇳 report finds that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory is illegal, due to its intended permanency and Israel's actions of de facto annexation. We expect 🇨🇦 to uphold int'l law and support its findings. @BobRae48 @CanadaUN @ArbeiterRichard #UNGA77
@UN @BobRae48 @CanadaUN @ArbeiterRichard 🇨🇦 must support the ICJ and ICC in taking action to investigate perpetrators of war crimes & devise strategies to bring an immediate end to Israel's illegal occupation. @CanadaUN @BobRae48 @ArbeiterRichard @melaniejoly @Rob_Oliphant #UNGA77

CJPME wrote to @HonAhmedHussen with concerns over reports that @CdnHeritage may force grantees to sign an attestation form in support of IHRA. Nobody should have to sign away their right to criticize racist Israeli practices in order to receive government funding #NoIHRA #cdnpoli
@HonAhmedHussen @CdnHeritage There are reports that @CdnHeritage may introduce an attestation form for third-party grantees which may force them to express support for the controversial IHRA definition of antisemitism as a condition of receiving funding. IHRA conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
@HonAhmedHussen @CdnHeritage Forcing third-party grantees to attest to supporting IHRA -- which holds that calling Israel racist is antisemitic -- would almost certainly limit their right to speak about Israel’s racist practices against Palestinians, amounting to a severe restriction of their liberties.
