The Communist Party of Canada denounces the Israeli government for its barbaric attacks on the Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah in occupied East Jerusalem, its forced eviction of Palestinians from their homes, which are then occupied by Israeli settlers, and its vicious and racist attacks on peaceful worshippers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.  This is ethnic cleansing, and a crime against humanity under the UN Charter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Israeli courts have attempted to legitimize the forced displacement of Palestinian families with their apartheid laws, Israeli police, military and settlers have terrorized Palestinian residents in an effort to drive them out of their homes.  Over 100 Palestinians have been attacked, with scores injured and killed \u2013 including children, by Israeli police and settlers inciting racist violence, including mobs chanting \u201cDeath to Arabs\u201d.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We demand the Canadian government \u2013 a self-proclaimed \u201cgreat friend of Israel\u201d \u2013 condemn these crimes against the Palestinians being perpetrated by the Israeli government, demand an immediate end to the forced evictions, displacement and violence against Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah, and throughout the occupied territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We demand the Canadian government respond to these crimes by recalling Canadian diplomats, and by implementing boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We further demand that the Canadian government finally speak up for a peaceful and democratic solution with the creation of a Palestinian state comprised of the land occupied by Israel since 1967, including the West Bank and Gaza, with the capital in East Jerusalem, and including the right of return of Palestinians in exile, as set out in myriad UN resolutions, including resolution 242.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We further call on Parliament to condemn Israel\u2019s widely reported genocidal policies against the Palestinian people, including the current and on-going forced displacement of Palestinians from their homes and their land, and its occupation by Israeli settlers.   This is genocide, recognized in the UN Charter, and around the world  \u2013 but not by Canada.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada\u2019s silence is consent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Communist Party stands with the Palestinian people \u2013 the victims of Canadian and US support for Israel\u2019s expansionist policies, and we support the right of the Palestinians to defend themselves against these policies and attacks, as set out in the UN Charter.   Their heroic resistance deserves the support of all who care about human rights and the rule of international law in the occupied territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We call on the labour and democratic movements and all those opposed to Israel\u2019s brutal attacks, forced displacement and seizure of Palestinian homes and lands, and its illegal occupation of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, to demand that the Canadian government condemn Israel\u2019s actions and support UN resolutions calling for an end to occupation, for the creation of a Palestinian state, and for peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
