May 15, 2018 
(OTTAWA) — Since March 30, the Green Party of Canada has watched with growing 
anguish as Israeli Defence Forces have targeted and killed 110 Palestinians, 
including 12 children, with more than 12,000 injured. Today marks the final day 
of the Palestinians’ mass protests demanding their right to return to their 
original homes.

“Targeting civilian protesters is in direct violation of the Fourth Geneva 
Convention, to which both Israel and Canada are signatories,” said Green Party 
of Canada Leader Elizabeth May (MP, Saanich-Gulf Islands). “We call on the 
Liberal government to join us in demanding that Israel immediately stop 
targeting civilians.

“We again call on the government to cease all arms shipments to Israel, and to 
join with the international community in demanding an independent investigation 
into the recent killings. If we want to see international law respected, we 
must hold those who violate it accountable.”

Palestinians around the world mark today as their “day of catastrophe”, 
commemorating the displacement of over 700,000 people from their homes and 
properties leading up to and following the creation of Israel.

The Green Party of Canada says the rights of all people in the region must be 
respected in the context of two viable states -- Israel and Palestine -- living 
side by side in peace and prosperity.
