Our Demands
We want the Canadian government to Stop distracting the Canadian public with the mask of humanitarianism, take accountability for Canada’s role in the Gaza genocide, and implement the six measures proposed by the Hague Group. The six measures would imply very specific actions by Canada including:
Two-way arms embargo: These are demands proposed in the recent report by PYM and WorldBeyondWar describing Canada’s ongoing supply of arms to Israel):
Canada will cease:
i. all shipments of military-related components to Israeli weapons companies or to the Israeli government (there were 47 shipments between October 2023 and July 2025
ii. all bullet sales to Israel (we have sold 421070 bullets since October 2023 – 175000 in April 2025 alone)
iii. all shipments of cartridges
iv. all sales to Elbit Systems and its subsidiaries and other Israeli defense firms including Elta Systems, WaldyTech, Snunit Aviation and NIRON Systems.
v. All transporting of military cargo by sea or air.
In addition, Canada must:
vi. Cancel all active arms export permits,
vii. Close all loopholes for U.S. transfers,
viii. Ban the import/export of surveillance and dual-use technology, and
ix. cancel all contracts and planned purchases of military goods from Israel.
Economic sanctions: These are sanctions applied to South Africa to end its apartheid regime:
i. Cancel the Canada Israel free trade agreement (CIFTA)
ii. Ban air travel to and from Israel
iii. Restrict all imports from Israel
iv. Ban all new investments in Israel
v. A ban on all bank loans to Israel
vi. Withdraw consular facilities
vii. Ban on nuclear cooperation

2. Join the South African genocide case filed at the International Court of Justice.
3. Commit to arresting Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant and handing them over to the International Criminal Court to be tried for war crimes if they are found on Canadian soil.
4. Ban IDF soldiers from entering Canada.
5. If there is evidence of war crimes by IDF soldiers found in Canada they should be arrested and delivered to the ICC
6. Including Canadian IDF soldiers currently living in Canada
Note on The Hague Group:
One pathway to the necessary action is to join The Hague Group and implement the measures adopted by The Hague Group. The six measures proposed by the Hague Group are general, but we believe they imply the specific measures described above.
Hague Group Measures:
i. Prevent the provision or transfer of arms, munitions, military fuel, related military equipment, and dual-use items to Israel.
ii. Prevent the transit, docking, and servicing of vessels at any port…. in all cases where there is a clear risk of the vessel being used to carry arms, munitions, military fuel, related military equipment, and dual-use items to Israel.
iii. Prevent the carriage of arms, munitions, military fuel, related military equipment, and dual-use items to Israel on vessels bearing our flag… and ensure full accountability, including de-flagging, for non-compliance with this prohibition.
iv. Commence an urgent review of all public contracts, to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation of the Palestinian Territory and entrenching its unlawful presence.
v. Comply with obligations to ensure accountability for the most serious crimes under international law, through robust, impartial, and independent investigations and prosecutions at national or international levels, to ensure justice for all victims and the prevention of future crimes.
vi. Support universal jurisdiction mandates, as and where applicable in national legal frameworks and judiciaries, to ensure justice for victims of international crimes committed in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
