Toronto railway blockade - April 16 2024
Rail blockade on April 16th 2024 in Toronto to demand an arms embargo on Israel.
Rail lines at Osler St and Pelham Ave (near Dupont and Dundas W) in Toronto were blocked by hundreds, shutting down critical freight services from Canada to the United States in solidarity with starving Palestinians in Gaza, and demanding that the Government of Canada stop obfuscating and do what’s right: impose an immediate and comprehensive arms embargo on Israel. The Canada-Israel arms trade relies on Canadian rail infrastructure to ship arms to air and sea ports for transfer to Israel, and to ship parts to the U.S., which are then incorporated into weapons systems like Lockheed Martin’s F-35 fighter jet, before also being exported to Israel.
