Words cannot express our worry and fear for the two million civilians of Gaza.\u00a0 Over the weekend, Israel has ordered half the population of Gaza to move to the south of the territory, and has taken actions that suggest they plan to dispossess millions of Palestinians from Gaza – literally a Nakba 2.0.\u00a0 <\/strong>Seemingly indifferent, the Trudeau government refuses to push for a ceasefire<\/a> even after more than 2500 Palestinians have been killed.\u00a0Let it be said that you did not sit idly by while our political leaders watched Israel turn Gaza to dust, slaughter its people, and commit another mass atrocity.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This provides 1)<\/strong> an option for political action for Gaza, 2)<\/strong> an option for humanitarian aid to Gaza, 3)<\/strong> an option for media action for Gaza, 4)<\/strong> an option to ramp up your knowledge on the situation, and 5)<\/strong> an option to express your anger and frustration with the government and media.<\/p>\n

1. STOP NAKBA 2.0<\/a><\/b>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Be on record to show that you did all you could to stop Israel from committing another mass atrocity agains Palestinians.<\/strong>\u00a0 Even if you\u2019ve already sent our indifferent leaders emails in the past, send another!\u00a0 Show them we will not be silent!<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Send humanitarian aid for Gaza<\/a><\/b>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As we all know, Israel has ignored international law and is preventing food, water, fuel, medicines and other supplies from entering Gaza this past week.\u00a0 Nevertheless, the CJPME Foundation has been communicating with its partners, and is in a position to pass aid to Gaza as soon as the territory is open again.\u00a0 Please donate to its Gaza Emergency Appeal<\/a><\/strong>: the money will be used to provide 1) food aid, in the form of rations and vouchers, 2) fuel, and 3) medical supplies, in the form of medical consumables and medicines.\u00a0 For Canadians, these gifts are tax deductible, and 100% of the gift gets to the field.<\/p>\n

3. Join our fight against media bias<\/a><\/b>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier today, we sent a 3-page statement highlighting the many ways the media is disserving Canadians<\/a>, especially Palestinian-Canadians.\u00a0 We hightlight the many problems we have observed as they interview Palestinians and present the events.\u00a0 Our task is to fight against the bias and expand the story.\u00a0 CJPME, its reps and its statements have been quoted or cited by media in well over 100 media spots since Oct. 7, including CBC, CTV, Global News, TVA, Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, and the Canadian Press.\u00a0 Many of our friends and allies have also been articulate with the media. Many media outlets have been forced to update and edit their coverage as a result of our media advocacy.\u00a0 Since Saturday, we have contacted media about poor coverage in over 60 different instances. But we need your help!<\/p>\n
