Thursday, January 8th : In protest against the ongoing Israeli siege on
the Gaza Strip activists in Montreal have taken action at the Israeli
Consulate in Montreal.

Serving a detailed an eviction notice to the Israeli Consulate in Montreal
demonstrators demanded “the eviction of the Consulate of Israel, the
expulsion of the Consular General and an immediate end to the Israeli
assault on Gaza.”

Effectively shutting down daily operations at the Israeli Consulate this
morning activists severed an eviction notice and successfully shut-down
the daily operations at the Consulate.

In solidarity with the 1.5 million people in Gaza demonstrators in
Montreal are demanding an end to Israel’s military assault, the 18-month
siege on the Gaza Strip and to allow humanitarian aid into the territory.

“Canada’s lack of response to recent war crimes in Gaza speaks volumes
about their support for Israeli apartheid,” said Sophie Schoen, a
spokesperson for the action.

Protesters are outraged at Israel’s latest assault on the Palestinian
people and by the Canadian government’s refusal to condemn these massacres
that have left 700 dead and over 3000 wounded since December 27, 2008.

In the past 24 hours Israeli has bombarded three U.N. schools in Gaza
killing dozens of internally displaced refugees inside Gaza.

“We demand the Canadian government cut all ties with the apartheid regime
of Israel,” said Mostafa Henaway of Tadamon! Montreal.

The action in Montreal comes on the heels of countless protests worldwide
against Israeli war crimes, including an occupation of the Israeli
Consulate in Toronto by Jewish women yesterday.
