Petition Text
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
• UNICEF on May 12, 2026, described as “intolerable” the price being paid by West Bank/East Jerusalem children for escalating Israeli militarised operations and settler attacks, noting: the number of Palestinian children killed (on average at least one every week from January 2025 to May 2026), the number of Palestinian West Bank children held in military detention for alleged security offences is the highest in 8 years (more than half – 180 – under administrative detention without procedural safeguards), that West Bank/East Jerusalem children are routinely cut off from schools, hospitals and other essential services;
• Israel is blocking agencies that work to protect Palestinian children, including by designating Defense for Children International – Palestine terrorists on October 19, 2021, banning UNRWA from operating in Israel and East Jerusalem on October 28, 2024, and preventing the International Committee of the Red Cross from visiting Palestinian security detainees in Israeli prisons since October 7, 2023; and
• The 2024 International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion stated Israel’s continued occupation is illegal.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to protect the lives, dignity and human rights of Palestinian children by:
1. Banning all arms trade, direct or indirect, with Israel;
2. Suspending the Canada-Israel Free Trade agreement;
3. Sanctioning each Israeli cabinet member, Knesset member or government official who promotes violence against Palestinians or the seizure of their land; and
4. Prohibiting any Canadian resident or corporation from bidding on contracts for works wholly or partly within Israeli settlements in the West Bank/East Jerusalem.
