Illegal Israeli settlements land for sale in Canada

Ghada Sasa is a PhD Candidate for McMaster University. After she exposed the illegal settlement sales events, The Canada Files reached out for an interview and got more details on how she learned of this event.

Sasa said she found an Instagram advertisement which promotes the “Anglo” neighbourhoods in Israel. West Bank settlements, in clear violation of many United Nations Resolutions, were also confirmed to be available for sale. Sasa had also noticed the beachside photos, reminiscent of the beaches of Gaza facing the Mediterranean Sea.

KW Realty, the company managing the sales event on March 3, and donating items to the IDF, is a member of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). The OREA is infamous for their stranglehold on the political environment in Ontario, for participating in Premier Doug Ford’s pay-for-play schemes, and finally for comprehensively lining every major political party’s pockets. The Canadian Real Estate Association also has a significant war chest to impact politics nationwide, including in Montreal, Quebec.

Canada is infamous for voting against UNGA resolutions condemning the settlements. The real estate industry in Canada has therefore found an opportunity to capitalise on the settlements in the West Bank. The ultra-orthodox Jewish community is a major buyer in both Canada and the US, and they feel comfortable with the diplomatic support they’re getting from both countries at the UN. Due to the fact that the Real Estate Industry in Canada has many of the politicians in their back pocket, and are able to arbitrarily raise housing prices at will, the culture of impunity in the Canadian housing market has extended to ethnic cleansing in the Middle East.

When asked, Sasa declined to reveal her plans to oppose the upcoming illegal settlement sales events, but did hint that “there is going to be push back”. A post made by Sasa indicates there will be a protest against the March 3 event, being held in Thornhill, Ontario, at the time of this article’s release.  (more...)
