Israel is massacring Palestinians in schools, while they worship, as they sleep. Yet, the Canadian government continues to allow military equipment to flow to Israel, despite Parliament voting for an arms embargo in March of this year.

There is no time to delay. Our MPs need to hear that we won’t stand for complicity in the atrocities the Israeli state is committing right now in Gaza. Call your MP today and ask them to increase pressure and establish an immediate, two-way arms embargo on Israeli-Canadian military trade.

Talking Points:
  • My name is [introduce yourself]. I’m a constituent of [your riding] and live on [your street name.]

  • I am calling because I, like many of your constituents, have been heartbroken for months over Israel’s deadly assault on Gaza and outraged by our government’s complicity in Israel’s atrocities against Palestinian people.

  • Despite a motion in support of an arms embargo that passed with a majority in the House of Commons this past March, the government has continued military exports to Israel and continued to fund this massacre by buying millions in Israeli weapons.

  • Canadians won’t stand for our government’s complicity in the atrocities the Israeli state is committing against innocent Palestinians. I am calling on you as my MP to sign onto the Arms Embargo Now statement at ArmsEmbargoNow.ca, and to do everything in your power to ensure the federal government revokes all military export permits and imposes a two-way arms embargo on Israel immediately. As a constituent, I am looking to you to act publicly and immediately.
