Canada must demand at the UN level an immediate and just ceasefire, an end to the inhumane blockade, and an implementation of the numerous UN resolutions taken on behalf of the Palestinian people. To do otherwise is complicity in genocide.
We express our full support for the rallies being held in cities across Canada. The bombing of al-Azhar University in Gaza, killing students and professors, has brought into sharp relief the need for all Canadian youth and students to demonstrate. The vast majority of Gaza's population is under twenty-five and unemployed. It is the most densely populated centre in the world. Over a thousand civilians -- mainly women, youth and children -- are now dead or wounded. This attack is an extension of an ongoing siege that has malformed Gaza into a concentration camp, and a legacy of colonial injustice by Israel since 1948.
Mass global protest by all those who love justice is needed to stop the apartheid Israeli state from closing all doors for dialogue towards peace. Justice must include the national right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, to build their own independent state, and for refugees to return home.
