Rabble Rant: Shutting it Down for Palestine

As Israel continues to bombard Gaza and perpetuate violence in the West Bank, millions of people across the world are escalating their efforts to Free Palestine.

The Canadian government may not want a ceasefire, but activists and polls across Canada are telling a different story. Coordinated sit-ins of MPs offices, massive rallies and blockades of weapons manufacturers are sweeping the nation.

This episode gives you a run down of the different tactics and calls to action out there, while highlighting the urgency to DO SOMETHING. ANYTHING.

Also discussed:

• Land Grab: Is this really about Hamas, or another colonial land grab and genocide? Recent Israeli leases for oil and gas extraction and attacks on villages in the West Bank throw key narratives into doubt.
• More than Canadian Complicity: What exactly is our role in all of this? Canadian military boots on the ground tell only a part of the story.
• Labour: What has the response been from organized Labour in Canada and beyond? Demands for a General Strike brew again.
