[Tweet 1] The Palestinian protesters have occupied the railway in Mississauga. They’re demanding an arms embargo on Israel. Spread the word.
[Tweet 2] After a three-hour shutdown of the railway, surrounded by police, with trains stopped dead in their tracks, we’ve dispersed with our heads held high. Thanks to all those who stood in solidarity with us. We will continue to fight for our families in Palestine. #StopArmingIsrael

PROTEST FOR A WEAPONS BAN ON ISRAEL
Since 2015, Canada has sold $57million worth of weapons to Israel. During its 11 day attack, Israel used these weapons to kill hundreds of Palestinians, including children. There may be a ceasefire, but the Canadian government will not stop selling weapons to Israel unless we make them. We must demand that our politicians act to #stoparmingisrael now!
