Action Alert #44
Tell Joly: Stop Shipment of Canadian Explosives to Israel!
As part of the $20B arms package just approved by the United States Congress, the US will be purchasing $83.7M (CAD) worth of mortars, made in Quebec.
We were shocked to learn that Canada is about to allow 50,000 “high explosive” mortars to be transferred to the Israeli military, even as it commits a genocide in Gaza.
Canada cannot allow this shipment of 50,000 explosives to go ahead. Just earlier this year, grassroots pressure led Parliament to vote to stop sending weapons to Israel. This shipment blatantly violates the will of Parliament and there is no question that these weapons will be used against civilians in Gaza. Canada has an obligation to intervene.
Send an email to Foreign Affairs Minister Joly, other key federal leaders and your local MP. Block this shipment of explosives and impose a full two-way embargo on Israel now!
