BOYCOTT ISRAEL! Demonstration for the abolition of the Quebec Office in Tel Aviv

175 avenue President-Kennedy (Place-des-arts metro station)
Despite the daily horror of the bombings, the CAQ government is determined to open a diplomatic office that will intensify economic and political relations with the Zionist entity.
For almost eight months, the popular movement for Palestine has been fighting for companies, institutions and governments to sever their ties with the genocidal Israeli state.
With the setting up of solidarity camps for Palestine, the repression and judicialization of the struggle, we have proof that popular pressure is making leaders tremble.
At UQAM, the Al-Aqsa camp succeeded in obtaining from the Board of Directors a timid symbolic resolution outlining the terms of support for the academic boycott. The McGill administration and the CAQ government, on the other hand, have given in nothing. The struggle must intensify.
We demand:
- the abolition of the Quebec office in Tel Aviv
- an immediate end to all inter-state and inter-institutional agreements with Israel
- an academic boycott of all universities contributing to the colonization of Palestine
- divestment from companies complicit in Israeli colonialism
No one is better placed than youth and the working classes to force the government, corporations and universities to stop supporting the colonization of Palestine.
Let’s not be discouraged by the state’s attempts to stifle the movement.
From Tiohtià:ke to Gaza, we need an intifada!
