(Montréal, 21 janvier 2010)

La semaine dernière, le gouvernement du Canada a discrètement annoncé qu’il allait retirer sa contribution financière à l’Office de secours et de travaux des Nations Unies (UNRWA) au profit d’un budget limité pour le renforcement du système judiciaire de l’Autorité palestinienne et d’autres programmes d’aide alimentaire. La nouvelle survient au moment où l’UNRWA lance une campagne de financement extraordinaire pour rassembler les millions de dollars nécessaires aux programmes d’aide instaurés dans les territoires palestiniens occupés.

L’UNRWA fournit de l’assistance à 4,67 millions de réfugiés palestiniens à travers le Moyen-Orient et gère des programmes dans les secteurs de l’éducation, de la santé et d’autres services sociaux dans 59 camps de réfugiés palestiniens.

Last week, the government of Canada quietly announced it would discontinue its long-standing financial contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and redirect the monies to strengthen the judicial system of the Palestinian Authority and other food assistance programs. The news came out as UNRWA launched a special fundraising campaign to collect millions of dollars needed to support programs in the occupied Palestinian territories.

UNRWA provides assistance to 4.67 million Palestinian refugees scattered throughout the Middle East and administers programs in the areas of education, health and other social services in 59 Palestinian refugee camps.

January 1, 2010 – For months international, Israeli, and Palestinian activists have been planning the Gaza Freedom March. Organizers hoped an international delegation of 1300 activists from around the world would break the siege on Gaza by marching through Gaza to the northern border and through the Erez crossing, join the Israeli march. The Real News attended the Israeli side of the protest, and though the Egyptian government prevented the activists from entering Gaza, hundreds gathered to raise awareness of the desperate situation in Gaza a year after Operation Cast Lead.

Malalai Joya, elected by the people of Farah, and banned from parliament for denouncing criminals of war (though her democratic mandate was to last till the current elections), spoke to an audience of 300 at Conway Hall in central London (July 2009). She has survived five assassination attempts, had her passport taken away by Karzaï, and must constantly take various precautions in Afghanistan. We invite you to hear what a woman fighting for human rights and justice has to say…

Prior to the demonstration a press conference took place, where a representative of the village’s popular committee, a member of the Palestinian Boycott National Committee and world renowned Canadian journalist and author Naomi Klein spoke of the local struggle, of the village’s new court case in Canada against Canadian companies building the new neighborhoods on Bil’in land, on the boycott, and of the inability to detach art and politics.

Also: below is an article about Klein’s views on the boycott…

Support our “Surge for Peace”
   The letter (appended below) to Ottawa City Council comes from an Afghan woman MP who expresses her clear opposition to the use of Ottawa facilities for any military trade shows.

Malalai Joya is an elected Afghan Member of Parliament. However, in May 2007 she was barred from Parliament for three years because she had denounced the many foreign-backed warlords and drug barons who dominate her government. While the Afghan Parliament passed a law giving immunity to all Afghan’s who have committed war crimes over the previous 25 years, it also passed a law saying that Afghan MPs could not criticise each other.

So it is permissible to have MPs in Afghanistan’s parliament who are war criminals, but it is not permissible to have MPs in that Parliament who dare to risk death threats for merely criticising the presence of those war criminals. This is the democracy that Canada helped to install and is now protecting. Canada helped the US to replace Taliban warlords with other warlords from the “Northern Alliance” who killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Kabul alone during the 1990s.

Les premières étapes d’une poursuite civile débuteront au Palais de justice de Montréal.

Il s’agit d’une poursuite contre deux compagnies enregistrées à Montréal qui construisent une colonie illégalement. Cette colonie a fait détourner le mur de séparation de manière à le faire pénétrer 4.5 Km à l’intérieure des terres palestiniennes pour voler les terres agraires du village de Bil’in.  Ce détournement malhonnête est assez grotesque lorsqu’on le voit sur une carte.

Ces entreprises sont accusées de violer les lois internationales. Green Park International Inc. et Green Mount International Inc. plaident que la cause a juridiction en Israël et non au Canada, mais la défense palestinienne plaide que la cour israélienne n’a jamais appliqué la justice sur ce genre de questions. Voici la lettre officielle…

On May 21, 2007, Malalai Joya – the young MP dubbed “the bravest woman in Afghanistan” by the BBC – was unjustly suspended from the Afghan National Assembly. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in Afghanistan on that day and, two years later, has still yet to make any statement about Joya’s mistreatment.

“Canada’s participation in this war in Afghanistan has been justified with rhetoric about women’s rights, yet Harper and the Conservatives remained silent when Malalai Joya was ousted from her elected position and again did nothing meaningful when Karzai signed the anti-women provision which sanctioned rape in marriage,” said Parvin Ashrafi, a women’s rights activist with the Iranian Centre for Peace, Freedom and Social Justice and a member of Friends of Malalai Joya—Canada.

Un porte-parole du ministre a indiqué aux médias britanniques que le député du parti Respect est inadmissible en vertu de la sécurité nationale en raison de ses opinions sur l’Afghanistan et la présence là-bas de soldats canadiens. Il a averti qu’il serait refoulé s’il tentait d’entrer au pays. (CSILC)

À la suite du communiqué – Action :

   Le 20 mars 2009 – Ottawa doit immédiatement renverser sa décision d’interdire de séjour le député britannique et militant pacifiste, George Galloway, et lui permettre de venir au Canada.
