Canadians Demonstrate for Palestine Outside Parliament
News - Middle East: A four-day pause of Israel's latest genocidal bombing campaign on Gaza failed to slow protests on what is typically North America's busiest shopping weekend of the year.
People from all across the country took to Parliament Hill, saying that they wouldn't be fooled by the temporary pause, or by the propaganda disseminated by Canadian media.
Amid a crackdown on dissent, and faced with the threat of dismissal or suspension from jobs, many continue to voice unwavering support for Palestine.Young organizers of the historic march through Ottawa say that the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is all too confident that the protests will soon subside, thus, international support for Palestinians is more crucial now than ever.Demonstrators say no 'business as usual' for as long as genocide continues to be carried out with Canadian complicity.
They now have their sights set on Wednesday when people here and around the world will carry out actions for the International Day of solidarity with Palestine.
