A Back Door to Genocide

Canadians were told our government stopped sending weapons to Israel. I was recently shocked to learn that was a lie.

A new report, "Exposing the U.S. Loophole," documents hundreds of shipments of Canadian F-35 components and explosives flowing through the U.S. to the Israeli military completely unregulated. The so-called "arms pause" never covered high-value parts that bypass Canadian export controls entirely.

Worse, 433 shipments of live TNT traveled our highways with no public disclosure. Emergency responders weren't informed. Communities weren't consulted. We are all being put in danger.

Ministers Joly and Anand promised Canadian arms wouldn't reach Gaza. Evidence shows Canadian-made parts arrived at Israeli bases mere days after landing in the U.S. This violates the Arms Trade Treaty, and is a deliberate policy that lets our government claim innocence while arming atrocities.

At least 356 Palestinians have been killed since the so-called ceasefire began, over 70,000 in the last two years.

Bill C-233 would close this loophole by applying the same export scrutiny to U.S.-bound weapons as every other country. Parliament must pass it and impose a full arms embargo on Israel.

Canada cannot claim to stand for human rights while maintaining a backdoor to genocide
