Petition to the Government
Tuesday, February 17, 2009 Canada
Given that the Canadian government:
- has failed to condemn Israel's clear violation of international law and war crimes in Gaza
- has intensified Canada's bilateral agreements with Israel, including policing and security, military, political, and economic links
- has continuously granted Israel unconditional support for its ongoing practice of collective punishment and ethnic cleansing,
We, the undersigned residents of Canada, urge the government of Canada to immediately undertake a change in its position regarding the Middle East and to initiate concrete action to hold Israel accountable for its ongoing violations of International Humanitarian Law.
