Dear Friends,
Since Monday, the international community has started to hold Israel accountable for its reckless and aggressive behaviour. Yet the Canadian government - and even key Canadian political parties - remain mute on the issue.
Please join in and do your part by helping out in one or more of the following ways:
1. Respond to our action alert to Canadian political leaders, if you have not done so already. Click here to send your email now.
2. Join in a local demonstration this weekend in your community to denounce Israel's attack against the Gaza aid flotilla, and to demand the complete lifting of the siege on Gaza. See the demonstration information for 12 different Canadian cities below.
3. Email the media at the links here. Consider our suggested "general" talking points below.
