Today, November 29th, marks the UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, so I offer this House, and all Canadians committed to justice and peace, the following reflection:
“Every bombed village is my hometown”, and every dead child is my child.
Every grieving mother is my mother,
and every crying father is my father.
Every home turned to rubble is the home I grew up in,
and every brother carrying the remains of his brother across borders is my brother.
Every sister waiting for her sister, who will never come home, is my sister.
Every one of these people is ours, just like we are theirs.
We belong to them, and they belong to us.
Stop the genocide.
Long live Palestine.
Long live Gaza.
