During last week’s event, one question kept coming up:
“What can we do for Palestine?”

For those who were unable to attend, we wanted to share these resources from Dr. Muhannad Ayyash, drawn from our recent conversation on Canada’s Role in a Time of Ongoing Conflict.

This marked the first event in our How to Best Defend Canada series. You can join us for the next event on the evening of February 11, where Cesar Jaramillo will discuss Canada’s defence in relation to current U.S. relations and the Golden Dome.

It promises to be a timely and informative discussion. Register via the Eventbrite.

With recent reports of Israeli attacks in violation of the ceasefire, the violence in Palestine tragically continues. As we watch from Canada, we are confronted with our country’s role, both in its actions and inaction, in the ongoing conflict.

Join us Wednesday, January 14 for a timely discussion with Dr. Muhannad Ayyash on Canada’s response to the war in Palestine. From diplomacy and humanitarian engagement to alliance politics and multilateral institutions, we’ll examine what Canada has done, where it has chosen not to act, and what role it may play moving forward.
