[KWPeace-groups] TONIGHT: Canada Must Oppose Israel's Attacks on Iran! webinar & sign petition "PM Carney, Invest in well-being not war machine"

[Tamara Lorincz]

Hello KW peace friends,

Terrible escalation in West Asia with US-Israel's illegal strikes against Iran and more bombing of starving Palestinians in Gaza. Watch new documentary "Doctors on the frontline: Drs. Victoria Rose and Tom Potokar take you inside the war in Gaza": https://news.sky.com/video/gaza-doctors-on-the-frontline-documentary-13385838

Please find below 10 upcoming webinars and actions.

In advance of the NATO summit next week in The Hague, the Global Women United for Peace Against NATO did this great 10-minute video clip about why women are opposed to the US-led, nuclear-armed military alliance with pictures of women holding signs "Women Against NATO" from countries all over the world. I encourage you to watch it; it's very powerful: https://youtu.be/4fweUNTqhoI You can share it on X here: https://x.com/NoNatoWomen/status/1935334432228983003 (we don't have other social media yet, it's coming.)
Please sign and share the petition "Tell Carney to invest in Canadians' wellbeing not the war machine", No to Canada increasing military to 2% and 5% of GDP target, it should be cut and re-allocated to healthcare, housing, education, climate action, disability support etc.: https://tinyurl.com/3vwdmsx8

*This Friday, June 20 "No F-35s in our backyard: Arms Embargo Now!" 6pm, Centra Industries, 20 Cherry Blossom Rd., Cambridge. Organized by KW Palestine Solidarity. Plus every Saturday at 11am at the Kitchener Market: Grief Walk for Gaza."

We urgently need peace and diplomacy to end the wars.

In solidarity for peace, earth and justice,
Tamara

TONIGHT! Webinar: The Canadian Handbook on the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism.
Across North America, repressive tactics against pro-Palestine voices are escalating. From Trump-era fascism in the U.S. to Canadian politicians threatening anti-protest laws, the crackdown is intensifying. At the heart of this coordinated repression is the weaponization of the IHRA definition of antisemitism, a framework increasingly used to shield Israel from accountability for its ongoing violence, apartheid, and genocide.

The US-Israel war against Iran is a NATO war against Iran.
In a TV interview, U.S. ambassador to NATO warns Iran 'close to nuclear threshold'
The U.S. ambassador to NATO is lying. NATO is enabling the US-Israel's war against Iran.

Ex-diplomat enumerates 10 points about Israel's war against Iran, NATO is involved:
https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/514320/Ex-diplomat-enumerates-10-points-about-Israel-s-war-against-Iran
"Israel coordinated its plan to attack Iran in advance with NATO leaders and, with the green light from the U.S. and NATO, launched the war against Iran. Therefore, NATO has taken on the role of defending Israel against Iran's military retaliation. In this war, NATO is effectively engaged with Iran, directly or indirectly."
