We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to:

• Demand an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine conflict;

• Ask that Israel lift the blockade of the Gaza Strip and authorize the creation of a humanitarian corridor and an emergency humanitarian intervention;

• Ask that Israel meet its commitments under the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law;

• Meet its international commitment to promote and defend human rights; and

• Take any other measure necessary to protect civilians, both Israelis and Palestinians, and help foster a climate conducive to building a lasting peace.
