Mr. Stephane Dion, MP.
Dear Mr. Dion:
Your
statement, on May 25, related to the violence in
You speak
of security for Israeli citizens, but clearly show no consideration for
the security and freedom for the Palestinian people. Security for Israelis will
be assured if they would comply with international law and completely terminate
their illegal occupation of Palestinian
land that has been
allowed to stand for forty tears, in defiance of international law and repeated
Security Council resolutions. The Israeli practices, throughout
this occupation, including extra-judicial assassination, detention of thousands
without charge or trial, torture, daily humiliation, denial of health care and
basic amenities, demolition of thousands of homes and expropriation of property
for the creation of illegal Jewish settlements on stolen Palestinian land, are
in violation of virtually every article of the Fourth Geneva Convention. These violations are defined,
by international law, as war crimes.
It is
shocking that you would continue to support these policies and war crimes, in
the name of 'liberals' and the 'liberal Party'.
We call
upon you, in the name of all Canadians, to uphold the UN Charter and
international law and condemn Israeli war crimes and call for Israeli
compliance with international law by terminating its illegal occupation of
Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese land.
Yours
sincerely,
President,
