E-petition
Initiated by Anna Miedema from Kitchener, Ontario

Original language of petition: English

Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:
  • We are Mennonites, Anabaptists, and other peace seeking Christians, whose shared values compel us to follow Jesus Christ’s model of active peacemaking;
  • We were shocked and horrified by Hamas’ brutal attacks against Israeli civilians on October 7; and
  • We are heartbroken and horrified by Israel’s continuing attacks on Palestinian civilians that have resulted in tens of thousands of deaths, including thousands of children.
We, the undersigned, Mennonites, Anabaptists, and Christians, citizens or residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
1. Immediately help broker a substantial, permanent ceasefire;
2. Help negotiate the release of all hostages;
3. Halt arms sales to Israel and work with partners to end illegal arms transfers to Hamas; and
4. Advocate for diplomacy and a political solution that ends the occupation of Palestine, and that builds toward dignity for all Israelis and Palestinians.
