Libby Davies Action Alert

As you may know, Libby Davies, the NDP MP for Vancouver East has been under fierce attack by the Liberals, Conservatives, and some members of her own party because she gave an interview in which she said that the occupation of Palestine started in 1948.

Israel has used military force on the peaceful flotilla taking humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza Strip. Israel has murdered several unarmed civilians (at least 15 confirmed so far).

Towards Ending our Ongoing Nakba Statement by the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC)

17 May 2010 -- For sixty-two years, Palestinians have been denied their dignity and fundamental human rights. The creation and “international” acceptance of Israel in 1948 marked the culmination of a new kind of politics in the region that continues to have devastating consequences. The acceptance of an ethnic Jewish state over the ruins of Palestinian society in a historically pluralistic region meant that indigenous Palestinians were automatically considered superfluous in the land they had inhabited for many generations.
