'[E]ven as more lawmakers criticize #Israel’s actions in #Gaza, the deeper question remains: Is the Democratic establishment actually confronting the “special” US-Israel relationship in a way that will challenge it as a system of impunity? Or are members simply adjusting their rhetoric to symbolically placate an increasingly disillusioned base?'

"#Bill_C233, the #NoMoreLoopholesAct, is a private member’s bill put forward by Vancouver-East MP #JennyKwan in September 2025 to press #Canada to abide by the Arms Trade Treaty that it signed in 2019. Currently arms exported to the US are exempted and have ended up being used by #Israel in #Gaza, by Saudi Arabia in #Yemen and many other places."

"Since the start of the genocide, #Canada has repeatedly stated that it is not sending arms to #Israel. This video exposes how Canadian-made weapons reach Israel - through legal loopholes embedded in Canada’s export system. We examine how Canada's export framework allows military goods to bypass oversight and accountability despite human rights violations."
