Enjoined about two hundred Victorians behind the Legislature Buildings to express a collective outrage at the continued genocide in Gaza, (and increasingly ferocious pogroms in the West Bank and Jerusalem) and the Western governments' refusal to step in to stop the killing. Just his week, the United States vetoed again a resolution in the UN to recognize Palestine as a State, a move that would trigger other provisions to protect the citizenry there.

Was there in spirit today, as Christina attended and recorded the event on the lawn of the B.C. Legislative Buildings today. She reports about 200 Victorians attending in solidarity, while some dozen or so counter-demonstrators were there to express sympathy with the Israeli state as it's murderous campaign of genocide and dispossession against the Palestinian people of Gaza and increasingly in the West Bank grinds on.
Today also marked a turning point perhaps in the situation in the region, with Iran, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen retaliating together against Israel's illegal bombing and assassination campaigns that have plagued their respective nations for so long. -
Between 300 and 400 Victorians came out to express solidarity for Palestine and disgust and dismay at the Canadian government's acquiescence to the Israeli and American strategy of attacking the UNRWA and aid to the Gaza Strip in the wake of the International Court of Justice ruling against the genocide.

Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded September 20th, 2023
Earlier this year, Britain decided to include depleted uranium shells with its deliveries of their Challenger II tanks gifted to Ukraine. Russia charged the so-called CHARM3 munitions are in effect "dirty bombs" and would decision effectively "nuclearized" the war there.
DU munitions were first used in the Gulf War of 1991, again in the Former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and Syria. The deleterious, long-term effects of DU is well documented, yet still contested by NATO and America, who recently announced it too would send depleted uranium weaponry to Ukraine.
Ken Stone is an activist and author working for peace with the Syria Support Movement International and Hamilton Coalition to Stop the War. His book, 'Defiant Syria: Dispatches from the Second International Tour of Peace to Syria' is a compilation of his dispatches from the Second International Tour of Peace which visited Syria from April 12-18, 2016.
Ken and the Hamilton Coalition are hosting the webinar, 'Cluster Bombs & Depleted Uranium Weapons in Ukraine: 2 More Reasons to End the War Now' today, September 20th.

More Information
In April 2023, Dimitri Lascaris, Canadian lawyer and journalist, embarked on a self-financed trip to Russia where he lectured to students, presented at a think tank, gave interviews, met officials and peace activists, appeared on Russian media, wrote articles and tweeted daily about what he saw and heard.
For its part, the CWPJN hopes that Dimitri’s tour will move the needle on Canadian public opinion in support of a negotiated end to the war in Ukraine and thus accelerate an end to the conflict.
