This violent assault of a female protester is shocking. It’s criminal. None can ever be attacked for exercising Charter rights. In fact, we must take positive steps to protect rights, including when protesting the killing in Gaza. All of society stands against this assailant.

I’ve been made aware of an event sponsored by Liberal and Conservative MPs today hosting an Israeli Member of the Knesset who has sponsored bills to expand illegal settlements and discriminate against Arab-Israelis. Settlements are war crimes under international and Canadian law.

It was an honour to speak at the 8th Annual Palestine Day on the Hill hosted by APAC and @matthewgreenndp. I was proud to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian Canadian community, peace and justice advocates, student leaders, and my New Democratic family.

It has become abundantly clear that far too many Canadian Muslim, Arab and Palestinian post-secondary students, faculty, and staff have faced negative consequences for their advocacy on Palestinian human rights, along with allies. Today, I sent a letter to University and College

As a founding member of the ICC, we believe that no one is above the law and everyone should abide by international law. The ICC’s decision won’t ease the pain and grief felt by communities around the world but Canada will always stand for justice and abide by its decisions.

On International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People we remember and mourn for the innocent civilian lives lost over the last year. We also reaffirm our support for a two state solution and the right of Palestinians to live in peace and security.

Netanyahu abandoning the ceasefire deal to salvage his radical far-right government is despicable. Stick to the deal. Free the hostages. End the killing. Withdraw from Gaza. It’s sickening to see a renewed military offensive, so many more kids dead, and any peace disappear.

Israel’s latest airstrikes on Syria are a dangerous escalation—a clear violation of sovereignty and disregard for civilian life. The region deserves peace and justice, not more war. The international community must act to protect human rights.

My heart breaks witnessing the ongoing devastation in Gaza. Any further military operations aimed at occupying Gaza & displacing its people clearly are a violation of International law. We cannot be silent. We must condemn any plans for escalation.

Thank you Fares Al Soud for this statement in support of the Handala freedom flotilla, a civilian vessel accompanied by volunteers who are attempting to challenge Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza, to bring in essential humanitarian aid including food, medicines, and baby formula.

France, one of our closest allies, is leading the call by recognizing a Palestinian state, being firm in principle and fearless in the pursuit of peace. Peace requires justice; justice demands recognition.

With France moving forward to recognize the State of Palestine, Canada can and should do the same.
