Overview of the #311 Campaign:

The genocide in Palestine has not stopped. We cannot and must not stop either. We have to keep advocating with the tools Allah (God) has blessed us with, so that on the Day of Judgement, we can stand before Allah swt and say, yes, I did my part to help my brothers and sisters.

Subject:.  Israel Minister: "We must find ways for Gazans that are more painful than death"

Hello,

A couple of updates for you and questions

  • 3 months later, Canadians like Ahmed Khouta and Abdullah Khouta are still stuck in Gaza. In fact, there's a whole page on insta called @bringthemhome to raise awareness about Canadians stuck in Gaza. WHEN ARE CANADIANS STUCK IN GAZA GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO COME HOME?
  • Israel killed more journalists - Mustafa Thuraya, and  the son of Wael Dahdouh, Hamza and  The total death toll of journalists murdered is 110. IS THIS WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DEFENDING WITH YOUR "ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF" NARRATIVE?
  • Recently, the Israeli occupation stole money, gold, and jewelry from the Gaza strip, worth 90 million shekels. DOES CANADA HAVE A RESPONSE FOR THIS?
  • Israel's Minister of Heritage said "We must find ways for Gazans that are more painful than death" - THE GOVERNMENT IS ISSUING STATEMENTS FOR MASS KILLINGS OF PALESTINIANS - WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO CONDEMN THIS?

Canadians are tired and we are fed up of your hypocrisy - how can you claim to support the Muslims and Palestinians here, when you're enabling a genocide of Palestinians in their homes?

Enough is enough.

We demand Canada does the following:

  • Bring Canadians and their extended family members stuck in Gaza home - NOW!
  • Support the latest case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ)  which holds states accountable according to international law, that looks into the mass violence in Gaza.
  • Call for a permanent ceasefire
  • End the siege on Gaza
  • End the occupation

Thank you,

Aisha

Subject: Canadians want a PERMANENT Ceasefire, Nothing Less!

This email is for Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada; Melanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada Pam Damoff; Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship of Canada, MP [Insert Name]

You’ve decided to call for a ceasefire, 3 months later, at an extremely heavy cost - nearly 20,000 Palestinians  have been brutally killed and murdered, in their own land, including children,  babies and newborns.

The murders have not stopped.

I want to take a moment  to highlight some key issues with Canada’s statement:

  • Why is your statement silent on the condemnation of the Israeli government for committing countless international war crimes (bombing of hospitals, churches, mosques, refugee camps, murdering journalists)?

  • At the UN on December 12, 2023, Canada voted in support of an “immediate, humanitarian ceasefire.” In your statement, you noted the following: “We want to see this pause resumed and support urgent international efforts towards a sustainable ceasefire.” A pause implies that the genocide can resume at any moment, like it did the last time. We don’t want to see efforts towards a sustainable ceasefire. More than 286,719 Canadians are demanding a permanent and immediate ceasefire, so that Canadians can come home, and Gazans can live in their land. 

Overall, as you can see from my email, Canada’s statement is very unbalanced. The statement fails horribly in condemning Israel for its genocide against the Palestinians, including the points noted above.

It is also important to note that many Canadians, such as Ahmed Kouta are still stuck in Gaza. Canadians also have extended family members who are stuck in Gaza. While I acknowledge and welcome immigrant measures for extended family members in Gaza, I don’t understand what’s taking so long to put this into action?

I’m looking forward to hearing from you in response to all my questions, an updated statement that’s more balanced to the Palestinian side, and immediate actions in place to bring Canadians and families of Canadians stuck in Gaza.

Thank you,

Subject: Call for a Permanent and Immediate Ceasefire to end the Genocide in Gaza

Dear Premier and MPP [Insert Name]

I am emailing you to share how I’m feeling as an Ontarian:

  • Ontarians are not ok with seeing babies being murdered in hospitals.
  • Ontarians are not ok with seeing daily images of mothers, fathers, children, uncles, aunts, and entire lineages being pulled out of the rubble.
  • Ontarians are not ok receiving messages that their family members/friends have been killed in Gaza, by an occupation
  • Ontarians are not ok with watching journalists being killed in Gaza, for simply doing their job
  • Ontarians are not ok with Palestinians being dehumanized

In light of the current situation, I have two major asks:

  1. While we recognize Canada has voted in favour of a UN resolution for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, we urge you as a leader of this province, to also make a statement and join international calls for a permanent and immediate ceasefire, to end the genocide in Gaza.

  1. I welcome the motion on expanding the list of those who can come from Gaza. As a next step, I’m demanding the creation of an emergency taskforce, to put this work into action, immediately, and bring loved ones of Canadians, stuck in Gaza, home - NOW.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,
