3 itemsIn response to the open call from Palestinian artists and cultural workers for a cultural boycott of Israel, we pledge to accept neither professional invitations to Israel, nor funding, from any institutions linked to its government until it complies with international law and universal principles of human rights.The Canadian government must impose a full and immediate two-way arms embargo on Israel that includes ending military trade with Israel through the US or any other third party state.
