Join Labour for Palestine’s Nurses’ Caucus for a webinar featuring Palestinian health care workers, including nurses, who will share their harrowing experiences working in Gaza in the midst of Israel’s most recent military assault, recognized by the ICJ as plausibly genocidal. The deliberate attacks on healthcare infrastructure and workers aim to make Gaza unlivable. In the context of 76 years of illegal Israeli occupation and apartheid and 17 years of siege on the Gaza Strip, the attacks must be understood as a key strategy of settler-colonial elimination.
The settler-colonial and imperialist state of Canada is shamefully, though not surprisingly, complicit in this genocide through arms sales to Israel, as well as investment of our public pensions in companies implicated in Israeli war crimes. As nurses and health care workers we have an ethical duty to address global health concerns, including human rights violations. As workers, we understand that an injury to one is an injury to all as an anchor of our international solidarity. Join us and let’s learn together and act together in support of Palestinian peoples’ struggle for justice and liberation.
