While Israel's bombing attacks have so far killed over 143 Palestinians in the occupied, besieged Gaza Strip, the Israeli Deputy Ambassador to Canada, Eliaz Luf, is coming to Vancouver in order to promote, defend and support Israeli war crimes. He will be joined by Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, expressing the Canadian Government's support for Israeli war crimes.

Israel is besieging a people and continuing an illegal military occupation, while strafing civilians with hundreds of airstrikes. Since November 14 the Israeli military has continuously attacked Gaza with drones, Apache helicopters, F-16 fighter jets, naval vessels and artillery. On the seventh day of this attack the death toll in Gaza rises to over 143 with over 800 injured. While calls have arisen around the world for a military embargo of Israel, Canada's government has not only failed to condemn the attacks, but instead has affirmed that it "stands with Israel" as the Israeli army continues its deadly campaign against Palestinians in Gaza.

Kenney has been one of the Harper Government's loudest cheerleaders for Israel while ramping up deportations and anti-migrant legislation targeting migrants and refugees; he has also been central in attacks on Arab and Palestinian community organizations in Canada.

COME OUT WEDNESDAY TO TELL ELIAZ LUF THAT WAR CRIMINALS AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! TELL JASON KENNEY THAT HE DOES NOT SPEAK FOR US!
