CJPME urges the Canadian government to condemn Israel's apartheid death penalty law, which applies to Palestinians but not Jewish Israelis convicted of identical crimes, and sever all military and security coordination with Israel. www.cjpme.org/pr_2026_03_3...
Israel is pursuing ethnic cleansing and annexation in Lebanon, while threatening to turn its cities into Gaza, a clear indication of its genocidal intent. It appears that Canada is content to be a bystander, or worse, an accomplice to genocide. www.cjpme.org/pr_2026_03_2...
New: CJPME has assessed each of the candidates in the 2026 leadership race for the NDP in terms of their commitment to a Canadian foreign policy that upholds Palestinian human rights. Read our full report: www.cjpme.org/ndp_2026

"This is an outrageous example of covert foreign influence,” said @mbueckert.bsky.social of CJPME. “The Israeli government is using deception to prevent Canadian authorities from adhering to international law." breachmedia.ca/covert-influ...
This government may have voted down Bill C-233, but they cannot put the issue back in the shadows. MPs are now on the record. Carney has now picked a side. Canadians now know the truth about Canada’s arms exports and complicity in war crimes. www.cjpme.org/pr_2026_03_1...
🚨 6000+ emails already sent! Join us in demanding that Mark Carney & Anita Anand retract their support for illegal US-Israeli attacks on Iran and impose sanctions on Israel. It just takes 2 seconds: www.cjpme.org/carney_iran
Canada should be a voice for de-escalation, not a booster for US-Israeli aggression. CJPME urges Canada to retract its support for the US-Israeli attacks, condemn this violation of international law and push for an immediate ceasefire from all parties. www.cjpme.org/pr_2026_03_0...
We have an incredible speaker line-up, too!! Ft Kristen as moderator; feminist migration & public law expert @jcyliew.bsky.social; @jamesyap.bsky.social, counsel in Nevsun v Araya(!!); @jeff.doctor, never lacking for 🔥 takes, esp re Indigenous sovereignty; & Jason Toney @cjpme.org, already on it.
So glad sthg like this is finally happening, largely thx to @kristenthomasen.bsky.social. Been ~2.5 years now of layers of disheartenment & sustained moral injury (5 if count covid), and a public discussion focused specifically on Canadian complicity, from a tech /tech law angle, is long overdue.
We condemn Mark Carney's unequivocal support for illegal US-Israeli strikes on Iran, sabotaging negotiations in favour of regime change. A "pre-emptive" strike without an imminent threat is an act of aggression, a violation of the UN Charter, and a major threat to security.
"We are deeply concerned about statements like that from the US ambassador to Israel, and now, Israel’s Opposition leader, which endorse Israel’s messianic ambitions for regional supremacy and colonial expansion,” said Yara Shoufani, President of CJPME. www.cjpme.org/pr_2026_02_2...

CJPME is outraged to learn that Canada has allowed Netanyahu to travel through Canadian airspace on route to the US, despite the outstanding ICC arrest warrants against him. Carney must ban this war criminal and fugitive from using Canadian airspace.

A massive CBC investigation has confirmed that the Canadian government knew our weapons were reaching Israel through the "U.S. Loophole", and they were quietly investigating the legal fallout while publicly lying to us about it.
Link in bio to email your MP about the "No More Loopholes Act".
It is unacceptable for Canada to promote "dialogue" with Israel on AI, which uses it for the surveillance and mass-killing of Palestinians. Send an email to Minister Evan Solomon to tell him that we don’t need Israel’s genocidal AI: www.cjpme.org/no_israeli_ai
In case you missed it, we hosted a debate about Palestine with NDP leadership contestants. You can watch it now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD-o...

CJPME is alarmed that Carney has accepted in principle an invitation to join Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace,” which aims to oversee the governance of occupied Gaza. CJPME urges Carney to decline any role for Canada in the colonial outsourcing of Israeli occupation.

Israel is an illegitimate occupying power in Palestine, and simply does not have the right to bar entry to Canadian lawmakers into the country.
As part of the Global Sanctions Coalition, we are calling on Canada to adopt targeted sanctions against three individuals (& their associated entities) who are implicated in colluding with the Israeli military in the widescale destruction of civilian property in Gaza. www.cjpme.org/pr_2025_12_1...

Between 14% and 20% of Gaza's pre-October 7, 2023, population (approx. 341,000–480,800 Palestinians) could ultimately be killed as a result of Israel's operations and the subsequent catastrophic conditions by 2030 without urgent intervention from Canada and its allies. www.cjpme.org/toll_of_intent
