PETITION TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA
Whereas:
- Within the past 3 months, the media has brought attention to the killing of over 25,000 Palestinians.
We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to:
- Support the case South Africa has filed against Israel at the International Court of Justice (Canada being a signatory to the Genocide Convention);
- Acknowledge the deliberate starving of the civilian population of water, food, and electricity amounts to collective punishment which is clearly forbidden under international humanitarian law;
- Uphold its responsibility to prevent and punish genocide wherever it occurs; and
- Put its full support behind South Africa's case and bring an end to the carnage in Gaza.
- Presented to the House of Commons
