Jewish-Only Roads: Year History and Palestinian Rights

jewish-only roads: The recent violence takes place alongside ongoing land theft, destruction of olive groves, construction of Jewish-only roads, imprisonment without due process, and a blockade of Gaza, according to Rabble. During its 70-year history, Israel has been as unjust towards Palestinians as the white-ruled apartheid state was to Black South Africans. At least 110 Palestinians have been killed and thousands injured by sniper fire and noxious gas used by the Israeli military. We are concerned that members of Parliament would seek to strengthen relations with a country systematically violating Palestinian rights. NDP MPs Peter Julian and Gord Johns are also members of that organization. In particular, we are dismayed that NDP justice critic Murray Rankin and NDP defence critic Randall Garrison serve as executive members of the Canada-Israel Interparliamentary Group.
