Canada needs to show leadership here to prevent genocide in Gaza.
This is is not optional: countries like Canada that have signed the Genocide Convention have assumed the obligation of preventing the perpetration of genocide by other states.

"the children of gaza brought it upon themselves!"
OCTOBER 16 2O23 in a recent knesset session, the unicameral legislature of isreal, meirav ben-ari, an isreali politician and member of yesh atid, a liberal and rather centrist political party in israel gave a speech. in her speech, she replies to aida touma-suleiman, an arab isreali member of hadash, a left/far-left political coalition in israel who has made the statement that "a child is a child, whether it's in the surrounding communities or in gaza itself."
with her statement, she wants to underline that no child is responsible for the current events taking place in gaza. no child is guilty, nor should it be a victim of what’s happening.
in response to that, meirav yells "there is no symmetry, there is no symmetry! and the children of gaza brought it upon themselves. we are people who live in peace, and people who seek life. there is no symmetry." interrupting aida several times.
to sum it up, she not only says that palestinians and isrealis are not "equal" as there is no symmetry — but also assumes that there is a good and an evil side. on top of that, she adds that palestinian children are the cause of their fate (their fate them being them suffocating and being bombed) and that israelis seek life whereas palestinians don’t, meaning palestinians are almost looking forward for this war or for people to die, taking away "their peace".
furthermore, meirav continues talking about how there is still no symmetry but also adds that "there is no symmetry in genocide".
she believes that palestinians — yes, even kids — have purposely disrupted their peace and thinks it’s only fair for them to "pay" for what they have done. while many people believe the government/military of isreal to committing a genocide, meirav thinks it’s the other way around, bringing up what the hamas did when they kidnapped approximately 200 isrealis.

At least 4,651 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza with more than 14,000 wounded.
More than 1,800 children have been killed.
Not once was any of them a number. Each of them had a home, a story, a family, a dream, a memory, and a heart.

it’s been almost 15 hours since the whole world lost communication with the city of Gaza and it’s people…
please pray for them,
pray that they’re okay,
pressure your governments to do something about it,
and pray for this cruel world to do something about a 75 year genocide against the Palestinian people.
