As long as the reckless and inhumane bombardment of Gaza's civilians continues, we cannot rest.  Please express your solidarity with the Palestinians of Gaza and elsewhere this weekend at one of the many demonstrations across Canada (see below.)  Our efforts and "noise" have not gone unnoticed these past few weeks, whether demonstrating in the streets, writing to politicians, writing to the media, and other actions.  Thanks to everyone for their part in maintaining the pressure!  Continue reading

Our heartaches for the people of Gaza is beyond words.  Yet despite the indifference of the West, we cannot be silent.  We encourage you to take action on-line via other tools below.  If you see on-line hate or incitement to hate, we have launched a tool to enable you to capture and record such incidents.  Almost 18,000 Canadians have emailed Trudeau and their own MP using our email tool.  Join them now!  And if you've already emailed; do it again.  Donate to Gaza humanitarian aid.  The CJPME Foundation is working with partners to ensure that our aid gets in as soon as it's permitted. Ramp up on the issues.  Check out our talking points, statements and recommendations. Continue reading

More than two weeks after Israel's collective punishment against the Palestinians of Gaza began, the Canadian government still refuses to call for a ceasefire.  While every day brings news of Israel's bombing of Gaza hospitals, Israel's destruction of Gaza schools and buildings, and Israel's blocking of humanitarian aid, our politicians talk gibberish about Israel's "self defence" and not about Israeli genocide.  If the tens of thousands of messages we've sent to our "leaders" haven't been noticed, then it's time to call them up at their offices!

Words cannot express our worry and fear for the two million civilians of Gaza.  Over the weekend, Israel has ordered half the population of Gaza to move to the south of the territory, and has taken actions that suggest they plan to dispossess millions of Palestinians from Gaza - literally a Nakba 2.0.  Seemingly indifferent, the Trudeau government refuses to push for a ceasefire even after more than 2500 Palestinians have been killed.  Let it be said that you did not sit idly by while our political leaders watched Israel turn Gaza to dust, slaughter its people, and commit another mass atrocity.

The PR contained important core points: If you're talking to your friends, some you might find useful are: Continue reading

Today, CJPME is releasing the important results of a public opinion poll it commissioned which finds that Canadians are MUCH MORE likely to view Israel in terms of “apartheid” than they are to see it as a “vibrant democracy.” Access our full report here (or in .pdf)! Continue reading
