Reports of ethnic cleansing and open discussion of permanent military occupation. > Prime Minister Carney has rightly condemned the invasion as illegal, but words are not enough. > Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel. > US-Israeli impunity has shredded the international order: Canada should lead in rebuilding it. > cbc.ca/…/israel-lebanon-military-campaign-ceasefi… > #cdnpoli #lebanon
