Blueprints of Disruption

United Against Genocide: Name It. Stop It. Sanction It.


Listen Later

What will it take for the Canadian government to recognize what is happening in Palestine as a genocide? This growing coalition aims to find out.

Three members of United Against Genocide join the studio to explain why that key word matters so much, and what they're doing to add to the pressure politicians must be feeling at this point. They share what its been like meeting with high ranking officials, and what their expectations of new PM Carney were heading into the G7.

They openly challenge the notion that this is simply a humanitarian crisis that needs better handling or funding by exposing the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's role in this horrific stage of the genocide.

Guests:

  • Dr. Ben Thompson, healthcare provider and cofounder of Eyewitness Gaza. Ben has visited Gaza almost annually since 2012 and been suspended from his job for advocating for peace.
  • Dorotea Gucciardo, Ph.D, Director of Development for GLIA, and cofounder of Eyewitness Gaza.
  • Alex Neve, International Human Rights lawyer and former Secretary General for Amnesty International Canada.

Hosted by: Jessa McLean
