Palestine solidarity activists across Canada co-ordinated blockades at the offices of several arms manufacturers this week and renewed calls for an immediate embargo on all military exports to Israel. The action included activists from World Beyond War Canada (WBW), Labour for Palestine (LFP), Jews Say No To Genocide, Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), and trade unions. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International both said this week that Israel has failed to comply with the ICJ’s orders. In its press release, the international body directly named Canada as one of several countries that continue to export military goods to Israel. RTX develops and sells a range of military goods to Israel, including missiles used in F-16 and F-35 fighter jets.
