Advocacy
This is the time to hold your elected officials accountable.
To make sure that they are standing up for the Palestinian people.
It is time for a just peace to prevail in Gaza and Palestine.
It is time for a ceasefire in Gaza.
You can do your part. Your voice matters. So use it!
Talking Points:
– The people of Gaza have been under a tight blockade since 2007—this is against international law.
– The mounting death toll in Gaza is due to continuous indiscriminate bombing by Israeli forces, which have killed over 4,000 people, including children.
– Palestinian identity and aspirations toward dignity is not terrorism, is not to be conflated with support for Hamas. To do so is racist, demeaning, and Islamophobic.
– Muslims in Canada are again being asked to collectively apologize for and condemn the actions of a few people overseas. This is isolating, Islamophobic, and eerily reminiscent of the anti-Muslim atmosphere right after 9/11.
– This atmosphere, fuelled by the issues overseas, has resulted in a major spike in Islamophobic, racist, and anti-Palestinian incidents all across Canada.
– You need to live up to Canada’s commitment to human rights. You must call for the following items:
- An urgent and immediate ceasefire in the region. Canada must do its part to stop the violence and the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians and children.
- Denunciation of the Islamophobic and racist backlash against Palestinian and Muslim communities in Canada.
- Protection of the right of Canadians to express their solidarity with the people of Palestine.
