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.

Canadians don't want to be complicit in genocide,

Most of the news from Gaza is traumatic, as ambulances are attacked and hospitals, schools, homes, and places of worship are bombed, people are killed and wounded, whole families are wiped out in an instant. There isn't much good news.

But this little miracle baby is good news.

If we leave it up to Israel to decide the fate of Palestinians, this innocent orphan's future won't be very bright.

Palestinians have lost enough. Its time they were free. They need the opportunity for self determination and the right of return that is their due.

Hey, I've got an idea: since Israel has destroyed so much of Gaza's housing stock and real estate has been turned to rubble, its time the illegal walls and checkpoints came down, and the illegal occupiers were turned out of the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Its too bad Canada traded in peacekeeping for warmaking. This could have been an opportunity for real leadership. Sadly, we won't likely get that before we have #ProportionalRepresentation.
