John,
One
phone call triggered a major shift in Canadian foreign policy. Now it’s your turn to make a call that
counts.
Over the past few months, Prime Minister Carney laid out
foundational principles for a future Palestinian state, including: the
return of all Israeli hostages, removal of Hamas and, in his own
words, a “Zionist Palestinian state,” recognizing
Israel’s right to live in safety.
Now, by announcing the intention to recognize
Palestinian statehood in September – absent real change from the
Palestinians – the Government is putting the cart before the
horse.
According to the Prime Minister, “this intention is
predicated” on commitments to democratic reform and demilitarization,
based on a single phone
call this week with Mahmoud Abbas. The
89-year-old Palestinian Authority President, in the
20th year of his 4-year term, is notorious
for his corruption, Holocaust denial, and for paying terrorists to
murder Jews.
Extending recognition without real change on the ground is a
recipe for another failed Palestinian pseudo-state controlled by
terrorists. It will only embolden Hamas and condemn Palestinians and
Israelis—including the hostages and their families—to continued
violence and suffering.
That’s why we’re asking you
to call
your MP.
Tell them:
No recognition
without Israeli hostages home.
No recognition
without Hamas gone.
No recognition
without ending the PA's pay for slay.
No recognition
without real change.
Sincerely,
Noah Shack, CEO Centre for Israel and
Jewish Affairs
