🎤: Protesting Israeli genocide and apartheid is not antisemitic!

Our statement on the escalating repression of Palestine solidarity protests in Ottawa (1/2):

[Horizon Ottawa @HorizonOttawa]

Like many residents we're very concerned with actions of @OttawaBylaw regarding ticketing of demonstrators at Palestine solidarity actions simply for using megaphones.

These actions set a concerning precedent for future protests in #ottcity

In the application of proceedings issued by South Africa against Israel 🧵

This is just taken from pages 59-61 and it’s HORRIFIC but essential reading.

[Arash Ghiassi @arash_ghiassi]

Ticketing protesters at the Eaton Centre violates freedom of speech guaranteed by s. 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Yes, the guarantee applies on private property, and - as a court found in 1986 - specifically at Eaton Centre.

New video! @JustinTrudeau confronted! How many babies have to die before you support #CeasefireNowInGaza.

No business as usual. Stop the Bombs. End the Occupation. Free Palestine.

[Emma Jackson @EmmaJackson57]

My bad ass friend Atiya confronting the Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs @melaniejoly and demanding she answer the question on all of our minds:

How many more Palestinian children need to die before you call for a ceasefire?

Canada is complicit in genocide.

[Sam Hersh @SamHersh01]

As part of a global day of action for a #CeasefireInGazaNOW, a coalition of orgs including @IndJewishVoices, @palyouthmvmt and @PalestineLabour are here this AM blocking the entrance of @LockheedMartin in #Ottawa.

Lockheed this year sold $3 billion worth of weapons to Israel.

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

Breaking: CJPME applauds the @BlocQuebecois for calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The Bloc joins the NDP, GPC, many Liberal MPs, civil society, and public opinion in calling for an end to Israel’s war which has killed over 10,000 Palestinians in just one month.

[Labour for Palestine @PalestineLabour]

BREAKING: Palestinian, Jewish & labour activists picket MPs & block their cars from accessing Parliament Hill before caucus meetings. We demand all politicians act for a #CeasefireNow, stop the siege on Gaza, & end arms sales to Israel.

[Sam Hersh @SamHersh01]

I joined along with others in #Ottawa to occupy the office of @MonaFortier to demand that among other things, she join her other Ottawa @liberal_party colleagues and call for a ceasefire.

The action is in coordination with 17 other groups across the country. #PalSolidaritySitIn

[hussan @hussansk]

BREAKING: Sit-ins and actions at 17 MP offices for #FreePalestine #CeasefireNow #EndtheSiege!

Lets go!

[Sam Hersh @SamHersh01]

We're still out here in front of @MonaFortier's office to demand that she join her colleagues in calling for a #CeasefireNOW if you're in or near Vanier you can still join us!

And if you can't you should call her office: [phone]

#PalSolidaritySitIn

[World BEYOND War Canada @WBWCanada]

BREAKING: As Israel bombards Gaza, we’re taking action with workers in Canada @LAATCanada & @PalestineLabour to block entrances to INKAS, a Toronto-based company that supplies military equipment to Israel.

[Sam Hersh @SamHersh01]

Update: We left the Hill about 30 mins ago.

Upon leaving I asked @OttawaPolice why they forced us to shut off our music and let far right folks spew anti-Semitic hatred like: "Jews spread diseases" over their loudspeaker.

And one cop defended them and said I was "misquoting."
