Emergency Resolution to Call for a Stop to the Attacks
on Gaza

Whereas, there have been numerous attacks on civilians
in Gaza including the tank shelling of the residential
neighbourhood of Beit Hanoun, Gaza Strip killing at
least 18 people, including eight children, in their
sleep.

Whereas, this is part of an ongoing military campaign
by the government of Israel which has killed hundreds
of civilians in Gaza this year.

Therefore:

Be it resolved that the Canadian Peace Alliance member
groups call on the government of Canada to condemn the
government of Israel and call for an end to all
attacks on the people of Gaza;

Be it further resolved that the CPA call on CPA member
groups to prepare for a response to this ongoing
humanitarian crisis and mobilize emergency
demonstrations to end the killing;

Be it further resolved that the CPA supports the
international day of action called on December 2,
2006.
