Palestine solidarity activists across Canada co-ordinated blockades at the offices of several arms manufacturers this week and renewed calls for an immediate embargo on all military exports to Israel. The Maple was on the ground in Toronto and Calgary at the protest actions that took place in those cities. Other blockades also took place in Vancouver, Quebec City, Peterborough, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Victoria this week. More than 200 workers, union members and other activists from across the Greater Toronto Area set up picket lines and blocked the morning shift of the TTM Technologies facility on Monday morning. The action included activists from World Beyond War Canada (WBW), Labour for Palestine (LFP), Jews Say No To Genocide, Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), and trade unions.

Doctors were able to identify these bodies as patients. They still had medical bandages and catheters attached to their bodies.

... this is not the first time mass graves have been discovered. People have been killed and buried under the dirt or run over by Israeli tanks or bulldozers for the past six months.

This evening, the House of Commons voted to pass a shameful motion on the Israel-Hamas war, brought forward by Jagmeet Singh’s NDP and supported in an amended version by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Government.

While the motion doesn’t change Canada’s formal foreign policy, elements of its text are disturbing and unacceptable. Some provisions ultimately reward Palestinian extremists and undermine the security of the people of Israel—a democratic Canadian ally—including:

A call for an arms embargo on Israel, precisely when Israelis are fighting a defensive war launched by a recognized terrorist group; and

Reaffirmation of Canadian funding for UNRWA, despite evidence that UNRWA staff participated in the October 7th atrocities.

Tonight’s vote needs to be condemned for what it was: a slap in the face not only to our allies in Israel, but also to Jewish Canadians—just five months after the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.

But our community can draw strength from our strong, united response in this moment of truth for Canada’s leaders.

In recent days, Jews and allies across Canada mobilized against the motion, including through the efforts of UJA, our advocacy agent the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), partner Federations, and other Jewish organizations. As just one example of our community’s strength, in a matter of days we collectively sent more than 900,000 emails to MPs through CIJA’s action alert system.

This strong, vocal stand was instrumental in ensuring a key clause—unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state—was cut from the motion in a last-minute amendment. This removed a critical demand of the anti-Israel movement, one that would have contradicted Canada’s longstanding policy that Palestinian statehood can only be reached through Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Importantly, the motion was also amended to call for the release of all hostages and demand that Hamas lay down its arms.

Despite these changes, tonight’s vote reflects something we’ve seen far too often since October 7th: the shameful accommodation of radical voices. But our community will never stop fighting for the truth, for our values as Jews, and for the principles that have been core to Canadian democracy. Because to be Jewish has always meant to fight for what’s right, even when the odds are against us.

We will do so with profound appreciation for those MPs who opposed tonight’s motion—particularly Pierre Poilievre's Official Opposition Conservatives, as well as several members of the Liberal caucus.

...There need to be sanctions, an arms embargo, applying visa and diplomatic restrictions, prohibition of arms transfers in cases of genocide, and other relevant state action [against the Zionist state] - Mara

Ireland’s Senate has Unanimously Called For Sanctions on Illegal Regime of the Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐗 Isra-Hell!

The Senate’s motion also says that Ireland 🇮🇪 must stop American Weapons bound for Isra-hell from traveling through Irish Air and Seaports and support an International Embargo on Isra-hell. The vote would have to pass through Ireland’s Parliament, or Dáil, to become law.

Brilliant. What an original idea. I’d guess they all told Blinken EXACTLY where he can go.

🇾🇪⚔️🇺🇸 🚨 YEMEN RESPONDS TO AGGRESSION BY THE UNITED STATES AND UNITED KINGDOM

📹 A video by the Armed Forces of Yemen spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Sarea released early Friday in response to coalition drone and missile strikes launched overnight against several targets in Yemen.

The United States claims these strikes are in response to repeated Yemeni strikes targeting commercial vessels, however, as Sarea points out in several previous videos, the Yemeni Armed Forces have only been targeting Israeli vessels and commercial vessels heading to or from occupied Palestine.

In his response, Sarea begins by condemning the United States and Great Britain for launching "brutal aggression" against the Republic of Yemen in a total of "seventy-three" air raids, with the Yemeni Capital Sana'a among those cities targeted.

Sarea said the U.S. and Britain also targeted the Hodeidah, Taiz, Hajj, and Sada'a Governates with drone and missile strikes as well.

Sarea also condemned the United States for killing five personnel and wounding six other members of Yemen's armed forces.

"The American and British enemy bears full responsibility for his truly criminal aggression," Sarea said in his statement.

Sarea said that aggression would not go unpunished, adding "we will not hesitate to target the source of a threat from all hostile targets on land or sea in defense of Yemen."

Sarea also condemned the attacks as a "brutal aggression" against Yemen's sovereignty, and swore defiantly that "Yemen will not be dissuaded from its position of support and assistance to the oppressed people of Palestine."

Sarea finishes by stating that the Yemeni Armed Forces "confirms that it continues to prevent Israeli ships or [ships] heading to the ports of occupied Palestine" from navigation in the Red Sea.
