*StopWar Callout for Netanyahu protest - March 2* |
|
Feb 28, 2012 at 11:43 PM |
|
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will be in Ottawa on March 2 to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. There will be a protest by the Ottawa Peace Coalition and they are calling on other Canadian cities to hold solidarity actions.
The Harper government has made its support for the far right-wing Netanyahu very clear, boasting that "Canada stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel". Under Harper, Canada is increasingly being called the "best friend" of the Israeli government and its occupation of Palestinian lands.
Join us in protesting these partners in militarism and occupation:
Friday, March 2, 12 Noon
at the Vancouver Art Gallery (Robson side) |
