Cabinet Ministers: Arms Embargo Now
215 actions
goal: 500
Israel is massacring Palestinians in schools, while they worship, as they sleep. Yet, the Canadian government continues to allow military equipment to flow to Israel, despite Parliament voting for an arms embargo in March of this year.
There is no time to delay. Our government needs to hear that we won’t stand for complicity in the atrocities the Israeli state is committing right now in Gaza. Call a Cabinet Minister today and ask them to increase pressure and establish an immediate, two-way arms embargo on Israeli-Canadian military trade.

Talking points to include in your message:
- My name is [introduce yourself].
- I am calling because I, like many Canadians, have been heartbroken for months over Israel’s deadly assault on Gaza and outraged by this government’s complicity in Israel’s atrocities against Palestinian people.
- Despite a motion in support of an arms embargo that passed with a majority in the House of Commons this past March, your government has continued military exports to Israel and continued to fund this massacre by buying millions in Israeli weapons.
- In addition, I’m horrified by the recent news that Québec-based company General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems Inc. was just announced as the principle contractor in a $61 million dollar sale of military equipment to Israel.
- Canadians won’t stand for our government’s complicity in the atrocities the Israeli state is committing against innocent Palestinians. I am calling on you to revoke all military export permits and impose a two-way arms embargo on Israel immediately. I am looking to you to act publicly and immediately.
