We want Canada to recognize the State of Palestine on the 1967 borders now
GROUP DESCRIPTION:
We want Canada to join Argentina, Brazil, Cuba and approximately 130 other countries and recognize the State of Palestine on the 1967 borders now.
This will be a constructive national step towards stopping Israel's illegal occupation and continued ongoing stealing of Palestine.
We also want Canada, given its special relationship with Israel, to recognize the historic fact that 1948 was an ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and to commit to actuating just reparation from those responsible.
We would also welcome a national referendum on these questions, in the interest of democracy.
In addition, we ask that the Canadian parliament pass a unanimous motion in the House of Commons stating "We vow to uphold individual and collective rights to criticize the state of Israel without being attacked as anti-Semitic."
