From Councillor Walcott: "Criticism of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory should not be conflated with antisemitism. Critiquing Hamas’ violent attacks does not disqualify Palestinians from their pursuit of human rights."
The ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza has brought to the forefront the growing presence of xenophobic and antisemitic beliefs that are unacceptable in our society. We must confront them head on.
Thousands have already spoken out about this issue and emailed their representatives through CJPME's campaign. You can help get these unjust charges dropped.

It will be VERY COLD on Saturday, a high of -26 C and it will feel colder with the wind, please layer up!
Our outdoor event is scheduled to last one hour. CommunityWise will be available for people to warm up, and for people who are at risk in the cold.
Help Wesam Khaled! Tell your elected representatives that the charge is an outrage and must be dropped.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
@r_garrison
It is actually Nick Cave (whoever the heck he is) that is cowardly & shameful. How do you rationalize support for apartheid, war crimes & crimes against humanity? Shame on you for going there.
Also see: our press release concerning the arrest.
JFP organizer Wesam Khaled was arrested for leading our protests with the chant "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."
Sunday's rally will be emceed by JFP member and local community organizer Saima Jamal. This event is also co-hosted with Voice of Oppressed and Calgary Students for Palestine.
Yesterday Canadian leaders were served notice that they will be pursued for aiding and abetting Israel’s war crimes.

The notice included a stark warning that Canadian government officials could be individually liable and face charges before the ICC if there is evidence they have aided and abetted Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The notice was issued on November 16 to leading members of the Liberal government, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly, Minister of National Revenue Marie-Claude Bibeau, and Minister of Justice (Attorney General) Arif Virani.
The ICJP’s Legal Working Group for Canadian Accountability (ICJP LWGCA) issued a notice to the Government of Canada of its intention to prosecute Canadian officials for their role in aiding and abetting Israel’s perpetration of war crimes.
Press release continued.
"Muhannad Ayyash, a Professor of Sociology at Mount Royal University who was born and raised in Palestine says that “this incident is an outrageous silencing of Palestinians and their supporters and a brazen attempt to criminalize these protests."
