For years, the chair of the Canada Palestine Association has noted that the brutal and arrogant behaviour of the Zionist regime will bring it to a miserable end... “their end will be ugly”.
Anyone just waking up to the Palestinian reality in the last two months should know Palestinians have been carrying this burden of telling and re-telling their story for decades, with minimal global response.
despite Israeli officials being clear about their intentions to carpet bomb Gaza into extinction (or surrender), Western leaders are still vocal in their support of this campaign.
War is good business, death and destruction of a vulnerable population is good business, and continuing chaos and conflict is good business.
The pro-"Israel" lobby is frantic about the clear anti-colonial and anti-Zionist basis of recent Palestine solidarity organizing, especially amongst students and youth.
Normalizing ties with "Israel" is the official cementing of Israeli apartheid with despotic and reactionary Arab regimes, all in the name of furthering crude economic gains and regressive political ambitions.
This betrayal of the Palestinian people by the UAE despotic leaders will never be forgotten.
The legitimacy of your struggle is not the issue. What is important is whether your struggle fits the US imperial agenda and whether your enemy is or is not a US ally.
Activists are counting on the growing support of people in BC and Canada who are becoming acutely aware of Israeli oppression and dispossession of the Palestinian people and are willing to speak out and demand that "Israel" finally be held accountable!
It's time to be clear as we approach the 28th anniversary of the signing of the Oslo accords that the pivotal issue now is the system of Israeli apartheid and its devastating effects on the Palestinian people and nation.
