“International law was murdered in Al-Shifa Hospital, its remains scattered in Al-Rantisi hospital, and buried beneath the rubble of Baptist hospital."
🚨MONTRÉAL : Ce matin, des activistes ont fermé le pont le plus populaire à l'heure de pointe pendant deux heures pour exiger la fin du génocide à Gaza, la levée du siège de Gaza et la fin de la complicité du Canada avec Israël.
Nous ne resterons pas immobiles alors que le peuple palestinien est confronté à un génocide, nous ne ferons pas comme si de rien n'était tant que la justice ne prévaudra pas !
🚨MONTREAL: This morning, activists shut down the most popular commuter bridge during rush hour for 2 hours demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza, lifting the siege on Gaza and end to Canada's complicity with Israel.
We will not stand still while the Palestinian people are facing a genocide, there will be no business as usual until justice prevails!
As part of the International Action to Stop Arming Israel, L3 Harris in North York has been blockaded by a group coordinated by Labour Against the Arms Trade, Labour for Palestine, and World Beyond War.
L3 Harris manufactures some of the smaller parts for bombs and other weapons used by Israel.
Similar actions are taking place across the country including in Ottawa, where Lockheed Martin is also being blockaded.
There is a growing global movement for a Free Palestine. Across the world, millions of people are engaging in demonstrations and organizing major marches in solidarity with Palestine. Our demands for an immediate ceasefire, cutting all aid to Israel, and lifting the siege on Gaza have broader support than ever. On November 4th, over 150,000 will gather in Washington DC for the largest march in recent times to stand in solidarity with Palestine. Protests with half a million people erupted on the streets of London, constituents across Canada occupied over 17 MP offices from coast to coast, and Belgian dock workers' unions have refused to transport weapons by plane or sea that are destined for Israel. We must keep building momentum and increase the pressure with more marches, walk-outs, sit-ins, and other forms of direct action directed at the political offices, businesses, and workplaces that fund, invest, and collaborate with Israeli genocide and occupation.
NOW is the time for our mobilizations to grow in size, frequency, and focus; building a political climate that makes Israel’s business of genocide unsustainable.
