We demand that the government of Canada stop supporting Israeli violence, the destructive power of which is far more lethal than the combined violence used by militant non-state groups.
because innocents are being killed and civilian infrastructure is being destroyed for the sake of political-religious reasons. There is no sense of universal humanity in this conflict.
To call Israel's response "measured" is ludicrous. Imagine if the Canadian government had bombed the Quebec legislature or Montreal's bridges in response to the kidnapping of 2 men during the FLQ crisis!
It is simply unacceptable that Mr. Harpe(minority Government)has changed a long-standing Canadian position of promoting peace in the Middle East. I fully support this petition.
Canada has always been a country that supports peace and justice, but today, I am ashamed of my government for betraying the nation and its citizens. Not condemning injustice is condoning it. Canada was once the voice of reason in world politics, now we have become just another U.S. pawn.
Must uphold Canadian value of peace and justice. Taking sides is not that value; speaking the truth even against own political/religious bias takes great courage and stout leadership.
It is the innocent civilians in Lebanon who are paying the price for this aggression - this must stop. For Israel not to allow the United Nations to supply humanitarian aid to south Lebanon is an outrage.
The Lebanese people are suffering untold injustices, not least of which is the destruction of opportunities for an entire generation of innocent people.
