Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the Nakba. At the same time, the Israeli occupation has once again increased their assault on Palestinian civilians in east Jerusalem and Gaza. We were honoured to be joined by guests from Palestinian youth Movement Toronto and some of the core organizers behind Palestine Resolution 2021 at the NDP Convention.
As of Friday MP Jack Harris the NDP has called for an emergency debate, thousands of Canadians have written elected officials also voicing our disagreement with our tax money and our government’s involvement in the occupation and violent dispossession of Palestinian people and Palestine. You can participate in a number of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East’s campaigns here. Please also consider signing this House of Commons petition to stop foreign military recruitment on campus.
We hope this episode pushes people to go beyond posting. Throughout Canada and the world, many actions are taking place. You can find a list of Canadian actions here. The Nakba never ended. Our solidarity with Palestinians and Palestine must also always continue.
