SUMMARY:Rally: Arms Embargo Now!
DESCRIPTION:CANADA IS STILL ARMING GENOCIDE – Winnipeg Action \nDate: November 16\, 2024\,\nTime: Noon\nPlace: in front of CBC Manitoba\, 541 Portage Ave \nThis action is being taken in coordination with actions across Canada\, led by World Beyond War (Canada).  Despite the wins the Arms Embargo Now campaign has had – and despite Joly’s and Trudeau’s frequent claims to have ended the export of Canadian weapons to Israel – the flow of arms has not stopped. \nOn September 10 2024 Minister Joly said “We will not have any form of arms or parts of arms be sent to Gaza\, period.” This is a lie. Canadian weapons are continuing to be sent to Israel and continue to be used in Gaza (and Lebanon). Here’s what the Canadian government HAS done:\n• Paused issuing any new permits for weapons exports to Israel.\n• Suspended 30 (or roughly 12%) of the 200+ permits that had already been issued. These active permits are for military goods that are continuing to be shipped out to Israel right now.\n• Promised to stop one planned shipment of Canadian-made explosives to Israel through the US. But only after details of this one shipment (among hundreds) were revealed by fluke and provoked huge public outcry. \nHere’s what the Canadian government has NOT done:\n• They haven’t suspended or cancelled 88% of the permits currently being used to ship arms to Israel.\n• They haven’t done anything to stop the vast majority of arms exports to Israel which don’t even need an export permit because they use a loophole that allows military goods to go to Israel via the U.S.\, unreported & unregulated.\n• They haven’t stopped importing weapons from Israel. Canada continues to fund the Israeli war machine by purchasing Israeli weapons for the Canadian military marketed as “battle-tested” on Palestinians. \nSuspending just 12% of active permits to Israel is NOT ENOUGH. Letting Canadian weapons flow to Israel via the U.S.\, untracked and without requiring a permit is UNACCEPTABLE. Join us!!
