Building a Safer Work Environment for BC Construction Workers

"[The Canadian Union of Public Employees] condemns all acts of violence in the Middle East, including the Hamas rockets being launched into Israel and the Israeli offensive...To date, [the Canadian] government has stated publically [its] support for the Israeli people to protect themselves from attack. This is a woefully inadequate and frankly shameful response on behalf of Canadians."

Like much of the world, we have spent the last week watching in shock and disgust as Israel continues its assault on the Gaza Strip. With the body count rising and a new tragedy in full bloom, we feel that it is important to speak out as Jewish youth in Canada and to denounce what Israel is doing in our name.

"The real crime of the Palestinians are not the rockets, not the suicide bombers, but resistance itself: whether peaceful or violent. Non-violent protests have also evoked brutal and even murderous responses from the Israeli army. The Palestinian's very existence denies the legitimacy of the Zionist claim of Palestine having been 'a land without a people.' That they don’t agree to being exiled forever, to being denied their human, civil and political rights, that they don’t agree to disappear—that is the real crime of the Palestinians."

--Statement from Dr. Gabor Mate, an anti-Zionist Jew who spoke at a rally in Vancouver on Jan. 3, 2009 to protest the latest Israeli assault in Gaza

My immediate response to those in our government who fear socialism is to ask them to renounce their inclusion in their very generous pension plans (voted on by themselves of course, no conflict of interest there), their participation in the universal health care that Canada provides, the safety net of Canada pension, old age security and social assistance that assist other members of their families who are not intelligent enough to get in on the government dole.

There will be a Rally in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Saturday January 3rd, 2009 from 1:45-4:00 pm at Dundas square, which is at the intersection of Yonge & Dundas, in front of the Eaton's Centre.

This will be to show our support and solidarity with Gaza and its inhabitants at this time of great peril. Israel is murdering civilians, with so far 400+ dead Gazan's.
