First International Day Against Unilateral Coercive Measures
In June of 2025, the United Nations General Assembly designated December 4 as the annual International Day against Unilateral Coercive Measures, urging States to stop using such measures (commonly called “sanctions”) because they violate international law and impose collective punishment. Last night, the SanctionsKill campaign and partners honored the day by inviting speakers to discuss […]

Canada Must Arrest Israeli War Criminals
Prime Minister Carney: It is time for Canada to display some integrity in upholding international law, particularly when it comes to the most flagrant international scofflaw, Israel. Up until now, Canada seems to have been supporting Israel’s genocide of Palestinians with supplies of weaponry and Israel’s criminal apartheid of Palestinians, along with its documented torture, […]

Gaza’s Prolonged Purgatory
A ceasefire can be a strange thing. The assumption, generally speaking, is that the parties to it restrain themselves for a period of time, ordering their forces and disciplining their charges from straying. But straying happens, transgressions inevitable. Some are genuine enough: silly misunderstandings, hot headed confusion, a fear that the other side has broken […]

Canada Exploits the US Loophole to Send Weapons to Israel
On Tuesday, the Arms Embargo Now campaign launched a damning new report, co-authored by CJPME, which exposes the weapons pipeline running from Canadian factories and ports to Israel through the United States to send weapons.

“Historic Betrayal”: UNSC Approves US Plan to Control Gaza as Russia, China Abstain
The United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 2803 this week, after permanent members Russia and China chose to abstain instead of using their veto power.

Clandestine Cleansing: Al-Majd Europe, Gaza and Israeli Policy
According to its website, the mission of Al-Majd Europe, yet another odd charity organisation operating in the mash and rubble of Gaza, is “dedicated to providing essential humanitarian aid, educational opportunities, and sustainable development projects to Palestinian communities.” Leaving little by way of information, the charity was clearly one of the anointed, permitted by the […]

Gaza: The Arsonist’s Laurels
There is a peculiar, and telling, absurdity to the coverage of the Trump Administration’s agreement between Israel and Hamas. After entering office, this administration faithfully continued the efforts of its predecessor by providing the means Israel requires to conduct its genocidal campaign in Gaza. One could therefore be forgiven for thinking that leveraging this support […]
