Despite speaking up for Palestine (such as through an endorsement of the Vote Palestine platform or signing a statement condemning Israel’s genocide), many MPs and Senators have failed to take further action.

This is evidenced by the complete silence of  Canadian MPs and Senators to calls to endorse the Protect Palestinian Children Campaign. A campaign centered on action.

It is not only about condemning Israel’s killing, injuring, and detaining of Palestinian children, and the trauma that is being inflicted on children through the military occupation and genocide. It is also about taking action by insisting on an immediate two-way arms embargo by Canada and demanding that Canada take immediate and urgent steps to insist Israel comply with its obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the July 2024 ICJ Advisory Opinion.

We call on those who endorsed the Vote Palestine platform to fulfill your campaign promises. We call on those of who have endorsed a two-way arms embargo to take further action through this campaign. We call on those of who have released statements to move towards tangible action.

Canada has only paid lip service, they continue to fail to take any meaningful action. While they condemn Israel’s failure to prevent famine and the settlement plan in the E1 area, they simultaneously continue to fund and resource Israel’s genocide, occupation, and apartheid. They also continue to allow illegal recruiting for the Israeli military. They must stop this and take action against individuals returning from Israeli military service who have committed war crimes.

It is (past) time to act. Reach out to Canadian members of Parliament and Senators today and ask them to take action for Palestinian children. Call, email, meet with your MPs, go to their open houses and summer community barbecues. Demand they act.

This campaign amplifies the decades long work of groups like Al-Haq and Defense for Children International Palestine.

Let Canadian members of parliament and senators know they need to act NOW to project Palestinian children.

Just Peace Advocates is supporting the upcoming National Week of Action to demand the Canada Revenue Agency Stop Subsidizing Genocide. Rallies are taking place to coincide with the Sept 5 UN International Day of Charity. Join an action or plan one in your area.

Canadian taxpayers continue to subsidize tax breaks for war crimes and genocide, even as a UN report confirms half a million Palestinians experiencing manmade famine in Gaza  With indication that Gaza has reached Phase-5 status, the UN-backed global hunger monitor has officially declared famine in Gaza City saying “514,000 people – nearly a quarter of Palestinians in Gaza – are experiencing famine” and warning the number will rise to 641,000 by the end of September. Tell CRA that enough is enough–that these charities using our tax dollars to support war crimes and genocide need to end.
