Do you cry for Hind?

And ministers:

Dear lawmakers,

We are writing to you yet again—as Red Deerians and Albertans—demanding that you take action to stop the genocide Israel is committing in occupied Palestine. The Zionist project in occupied Palestine is a genocide and Israel must stop—NOW.

Right now, Israel’s occupation forces are advancing in Gaza’s southern Rafah and northern Jabalia. Bullets and bombs ring out in the streets as terrified families run for cover. Many won't find it.

Today Norway, Ireland and Spain said they will recognize the Palestinian state.

It is becoming more and more difficult for world leaders to turn away from the suffering of Palestinians. We cannot ignore how Israel’s colonial occupation and ongoing genocide is impacting indigenous Palestinians. They are dying in genocide so that Israel can build shopping malls. You must stop this now.

There is no food left.

With no fuel or power, baby’s incubators are their coffins.

Children are suffering amputations without anaesthesia. How can you continue to support this?

Defence for Children International is calling on the United States to stop sending weapons to the Israeli Occupation Forces, as the Zionist military is using lethal force against Palestinian school children. Children. Israeli soldiers are killing school children.

Hind Rajab was 6 years old when Israeli forces murdered her. She had just graduated from kindergarten. Do you cry for Hind? Do you think Hind deserved to die—alone and scared—so that Israel could continue a colonial genocide 76 years in the making?

Canada is responsible for Hind’s death, and the death of so many other children in Palestine.

The MPs and MLAs for Red Deer have told us they are indifferent to the suffering of Palestinians and support Zionism and death by supporting Israel.

As people are burned, starved and tortured, you continue to support the settler colonial apartheid state committing these war crimes.

As your constituents, as Red Deerians and Albertans, we demand action now.

Israel has killed at least 35,233 people and wounded more than 79,000 since October 7. Thousands remain missing under rubble.

The International Criminal Court is seeking a warrant for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu for “war crimes and crimes against humanity”.

We are calling on you to stand FOR humanity. To stand up for the people being unjustly starved, beaten, bombed, imprisoned and tortured.

From the River to the Sea,

The team at Red Deer for Palestine
