Violence against civilians is wrong — and innocent people are paying the price.
Tens of thousands of Canadians are currently in Iran, Israel, and surrounding countries.
Doctors in Iranian hospitals have described Israel's violence as a bloodbath. Critical airports have closed, trapping people while their loved ones here in Canada are desperate for answers.
Hundreds of civilians are killed or wounded. In Israel, while some civilians have access to bomb shelters to hide from the Iranian regime's deadly reprisals. But Palestinians have nowhere to hide. And Israel's genocide in Gaza is ongoing.
Despite ICC warrants, Mark Carney is failing to pressure Israel. Canada is continuing to transfer military goods to Israel.
This is a humanitarian emergency. Instead of siding with warmongers, Canada must take a stand for peace.
