Our investigative report exposing the ongoing flow of explosives and fighter jet parts from Canada to Israel using a major loophole in Canadian law made national and international headlines. It was co-authored by World BEYOND War, Palestinian Youth Movement, CJPME, and the Arms Embargo Now coalition.
Strong coverage breaking the story Tuesday morning by the CBC:
“‘These exports are bypassing all of Canada’s export controls because of the way they’re routed through the U.S., and nonetheless, they’re still making it to Israel and directly supporting Israel’s capacity to carry out war crimes in Gaza,’ said Rachel Small, a Canadian organizer with the World Beyond War activist group.”
Coverage of the government’s failure to respond to the report and its allegations in the Middle East Monitor:
“Rachel Small from World Beyond War told reporters Tuesday: ‘Let me be clear on this point, despite our government’s attempts to placate us, to create the illusion of having addressed Canada’s arming of Israel’s tax we see now the Canadian-made military goods have continued to flow to Israel this entire time.’
“Haneen Muhanna from the Palestinian Youth Movement echoed the concerns and described the ‘US loophole’ as a ‘way for the government to continually claim innocence, while its weapon trade continues to go through the United States unchecked.'”
French-Language Coverage by Radio Canada:
“‘Malgré des sondages qui montrent de façon répétitive que la majorité des Canadiens soutiennent un embargo sur les armes, le gouvernement canadien a plutôt choisi de tromper le public’ a déploré l’une des organisatrices canadiennes de World Beyond War, Rachel Small, lors d’une conférence de presse tenue à Ottawa aux côtés de la députée néo-démocrate Jenny Kwan à Ottawa mardi.”
“Depuis plus de deux ans maintenant, nos politiciens ont tenté de leur vendre le mensonge que le rôle du Canada dans ce génocide est minimal, a été réglé ou n’existe pas, a-t-elle ajouté.”
