Former Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister Ehud Barak is coming to Vancouver on September 30 as the honoured guest of a $500/plate dinner. Barak is responsible for, among other notorious actions:
– ordering Operation Cast Lead, the assault on Gaza that killed over 1300 Palestinians0
– attacking the Gaza Flotilla in June 2010
– launching last November’s attacks on Gaza
– maintaining the siege on Gaza
– expanding the construction of the Apartheid Wall
– multiple assassinations of Palestinian political activists and leaders
Barak’s responsibility for these and other actions make clear that he is a war criminal and our message must be heard loud and clear. The organization hosting Barak, the Bon Mot Book Club, is the same organization that hosted $500/plate dinners for Dick Cheney and Pervez Musharraf in 2011. The people came out to the streets to say WAR CRIMINALS NOT WELCOME – it is time to say this clearly again!
Organizing Groups To Be Announced (including Boycott Israeli Apartheid Campaign, Canada Palestine Association, Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network and more)
