More than 200 lawmakers from 13 countries issued a joint statement Friday expressing opposition to their nations' weapons exports to Israel and pledging to do everything in their power to halt the flow of arms that are being used to massacre Palestinians in Gaza. 'We, the undersigned parliamentarians, declare our commitment to end our nations' arms sales to the state of Israel,' reads the statement, which was coordinated by Progressive International.
'As Canadians, we can no longer claim to respect international law while sending arms to a country involved in genocidal acts. Enough is enough.' Canada sent $28 million worth of weaponry to Israel amid its ongoing massacre of Palestinians in Gaza. That is horrifying. Which is why I along with @jeremycorbyn and 200+ parliamentarians across the world are backing @ProgIntl call for a ban on arms exports to Israel. pic.twitter.
