Canada continues to pretend that it is not sending weapons to Israel despite clear evidence to the contrary. We are horrified that Canada is still arming Israel’s war machine as it intensifies its genocidal starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.
One of the many routes for Canadian arms is through the United States loophole: Canadian-made deadly munitions and components are exported to the US, which are then transferred to Israel as military aid. By shipping arms to the US to be assembled into fighter jets, attack helicopters, and other deadly weapons systems that are actively massacring Palestinians in Gaza, Canada evades arms trade regulations and circumvents its responsibilities as a state party to the Arms Trade Treaty.
This loophole is intentional. Canada has designed its laws and regulations to allow the sneaky transfers of arms to Israel via the US without proper regulation -- and they don’t care enough about Palestinian lives to stop it.
Canada should not be arming Israel, period. Will you stand with us in our new campaign to close the US loophole?
