@PierreVLeBrun This is really dumb, signing him until he is 38 is ridiculous and giving away any asset for that is silly.

[Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME]

Canadians want stronger action to sanction Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine, according to new findings from a national survey conducted by Nanos Research, on behalf of CJPME.

The survey findings demonstrate that Canadians do not support the status quo when it comes to trade with Israel, and reveal Canadian support for ending trade benefits tied to Israel’s illegal settlements, and for reforming Canada’s current trade policy based on human rights.

@Ls31234 @oigevalt1976 @CJPME @CanArabLaw Can you unpack what you mean by a jihadis?

[Alex Paterson 🌲🖤 @Alex4Solidarity]

@Ls31234 @oigevalt1976 @CJPME Straight from the @CanArabLaw report itself - you will note the relationship between Palestinian identity and Arab racialization.

[Alex Paterson 🌲🖤 @Alex4Solidarity]

@Ls31234 @oigevalt1976 @CJPME The type of anti-Arab racism they face, known as anti-Palestinian racism, is based on the fact Israel needs to dehumanize them to lay exclusive claim to the land they lived on before the founding of modern Israel.

@Ls31234 @oigevalt1976 @CJPME Canada uses a definition of race that includes ethnicity:

Where were the other 53 senators during this vote?

[Yuen Pau Woo @yuenpauwoo]

My motion calling on Canada to examine its risk of complicity in grave violations of international law in Gaza was defeated 40-12.

Here is the exchange that preceded the vote:

[Alex Paterson 🌲🖤 @Alex4Solidarity]

@oigevalt1976 @CJPME If you had read the definition of anti-Palestinian racism you would note that it is considered a type or category of anti-Arab racism. Arabs are definitely a race and the argument is that Palestinians face a particular kind of this racism by virtue of being in Israel's way.

🚨Israel’s PM Netanyahu says he has ordered the IDF to seize 70% of the Gaza Strip

Netanyahu: “At this point, we are fully in control of 60% of the territory of the Gaza Strip… and my directive is to get to… 70%”

Audience member: “100! 100!”

Netanyahu: “Wait, let’s go in order. First 70%. Let’s start with that.”

Israel had withdrawn to 53% of Gaza after the ceasefire brokered by the US last October, but has steadily expanded control to over 60%, maps show.

Nothing to see here. Rather than refute the claims conduct lawfare. Just normal democratic behavior.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

Following the publication by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times of one of the most hideous and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel in the modern press, which also received the backing of the newspaper, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar have instructed the initiation of a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times.

[Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME]

We just published a new report raising the alarm about the foreign influence activities of the Israeli government, which has been engaging in deception and covert ops to intervene in Canadian public affairs.

The report, titled “Israeli Foreign Influence, Intervention, and Transnational Repression in Canada,” also looks at Israel’s repressive targeting of its critics outside of its borders, including advocating for restrictions on Canadians’ democratic rights.

For too long, Canada's political debates on foreign interference have excluded Israel's actions from scrutiny, revealing a dangerous double standard. Our report urges Canadian authorities to acknowledge that Israel is a threat, and hold malicious actors accountable.

[Canadian Muslim Public Affairs Council @CMPAConline]

In its newest report published today, @CJPME documents the threat of Israeli foreign influence, interference, and transnational repression in Canada. The report reviews documented incidents of Israel covertly intervening in Canadians public affairs in various forms.

To ensure that there is accountability for actors engaged in foreign interference and repression, we support @CJPME's report recommendations urging Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, Foreign Affairs Minister @AnitaAnandMP and Public Safety Minister @gary_srp to

1- Acknowledge that Israel is a noteworthy threat actor in relation to foreign interference and transnational repression, and ensure that Canada’s “unified federal response to foreign interference” includes countering Israel’s activities in Canada, especially transnational repression of human rights defenders.

2- Place sanctions on people and organizations responsible for spreading disinformation and propaganda in support of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

3- Ensure that the Foreign Influence Transparency Registry applies equally and as forcefully to those cooperating with the Israeli government as to any other foreign state.

Sophisticated web of Israeli influence operations designed to manipulate public discourse in Canada exposed in damning report
——
A damning report by Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East has exposed a sophisticated web of Israeli influence operations designed to subvert Canadian sovereignty and manipulate public discourse. The findings reveal that Tel Aviv is operating with near total impunity on Canadian soil by utilizing secretly funded polling, biased media narratives, and the hiring of local legal firms to protect the interests of illegal settlements. While Ottawa has historically targeted nations like China and India for so-called foreign interference, it has remained conspicuously silent as Israeli agents bypass transparency laws to sway government policy and public opinion.

The scale of the deception includes the deployment of a mass disinformation campaign spearheaded by the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs which utilized artificial intelligence and fake websites to spread Islamophobic rhetoric. Beyond digital manipulation, the report highlights a broader strategy of transnational repression where Israeli officials have openly called for the restriction of Canadian civil liberties to stifle pro-Palestine advocacy. This systemic interference involves the use of high tech spyware and "propaganda junkets" that use Canadian proxies to shield the Israeli state from the disclosure requirements usually mandated for foreign lobbying.

The advocacy group is now demanding that the Canadian government abandon its double standards and treat Israel as a rogue state actor. The recommendations include the immediate expulsion of Israeli diplomats, a total ban on Israeli manufactured spyware, and the implementation of sanctions against those involved in these clandestine campaigns.

The registered lobbyist for the disgraced @JNFca is spreading racist petard that if it were targeting the Jewish community instead of Palestinians would lead to his instant termination.

[Jason Toney @jasontoney_]

Warren Kinsella joined @CTV to share several spectacular lies, namely that Iran is organizing pro-Palestine protests in Canada, the US, and Europe.

[Alex Paterson 🌲🖤 @Alex4Solidarity]

No, anti-Zionism asks Jewish folks to share a state equally alongside Palestinians with equal rights for all citizens regardless of religious affiliation. It's literally asking for racial/ethno-cultural justice, something completely reflective of Canada’s values and ideals.

[Artur Wilczynski @Arturmaks]

@aaronjmate Criticizing Israeli policies & war crimes is not antisemitism. Calling for the destruction of the one Jewish state is. Antizionism is racism because it calls for Jews to remain stateless - a precarious minority vulnerable to violence & genocide. After the Holocaust - Never again.

[Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME]

Israel is an illegal occupying power with no jurisdiction over the West Bank. Palestinians tried in these military courts are already denied any semblance of justice, but are persecuted by kangaroo courts. This new Apartheid law turns those courts into means of extermination.

[Leah ProudLakota (she/her) @LeahGazan]

I am disgusted by the conduct of Prime Minister Carney and Premier Doug Ford, who laughed at and mocked the words of Grassy Narrows First Nations members.

I echo Grassy Narrows' call on the Prime Minister to issue an apology and to meet with their leadership as soon as possible to discuss compensation for the injustices they have suffered.
