This is so important! : 24 Members of Parliament and 2 Senators, representing 5 Canadian political parties, have signed a letter calling for Canada to CONDEMN a...nd SANCTION Israel! On May 20, Salma Zahid, Liberal MP and chair of the Canada-Palestine Parliamentary Friendship Group, shared a letter calling on Canada to condemn Israel's abuses of the Palestinian people, and to place the same kind of sanctions on Israel that Canada has used against Russian and Chinese officials. The letter was signed by 24 MPs and 2 Senators from 5 political parties (listed below). This is a HUGE deal, showing an unprecedented multi-party support for Palestinian human rights! We urge these politicians to continue to challenge the Canadian government to implement these measures as soon as possible. As the letter said, It is no longer adequate for Canada to ignore the multiple violations of Palestinian human rights by the Israeli Government. Canada must go beyond statements of concern and work with the international community to condemn forced evictions, [and other abuses, etc]. The letter goes on, "In pursuit of upholding the rights of Palestinians, we ask that Canada apply the same diplomatic tools that Canada has used in condemning China’s behaviour in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous region, and in sanctioning Russian officials involved in the annexation of Crimea." ** Signatories by party ** Liberal MPs: Salma Zahid (CPFG Chair), Chandra Arya, Shaun Chen, Pam Damoff, Sukh Dhaliwal, Majid Jowhari, Iqra Khalid, Kamal Khera, Adam van Koeverden, Joël Lightbound, Soraya Martinez Ferrada, Ruby Sahota, Sonia Sidhu, Lenore Zann, Patrick Weiler. BQ MP: Mario Beaulieu (CPFG Vice-chair). NDP MPs: Alexandre Boulerice (CPFG Vice-chair), Don Davies, Leah Gazan, Lindsay Mathyssen. Green MPs: Paul Manly MP for Nanaimo-Ladysmith (CPFG Vice-chair) and Elizabeth May. Independent MPs: Yasmin Ratansi and Marwan Tabbara. Conservative Party Senator: Salma Ataullahjan Independent Senator: Mohamed-Iqbal Ravalia (appointed by Trudeau)

Remember their names. Israeli air strikes killed them in their homes in Gaza. We were helping them deal with trauma caused by the same violence that killed them. Lina, Hala, Dima, Mira, Tala, Dana, Rafeef, Yara, Rula, Hala, Hana, Dima #Gaza #Israel #Palestine
"A cease-fire premised on Palestinians ceasing fire while Israel continues apartheid is a cease-fire with an inevitable expiration date."
