Call on Canadian politicians to condemn the murder of the Gaza flotilla activists.
Global Day of Action - Saturday, June 5
International pressure is growing to end the siege of Gaza. The murder of the flotilla activists has thrust the issue into the mainstream, forcing governments around the world to speak out against the blockade.
Not surprisingly, Stephen Harper has not condemned the attacks and supported the U.S. initiative to water down the UN security council resolution on an investigation into the crimes. Both the U.S. and Canada have said that, rather than have the UN hold an independent investigation, Israel should investigate itself. This self-examination will be a smokescreen designed to hide the truth.
We in Canada have to speak out and demand that Harper stop being silent on war crimes, whether in Afghanistan or Palestine.
What can you do?
- Join the events this week. Events are posed on the CPA website.
