A panel will discuss the illegal Israeli military recruiting happening in Canada.
The panel includes:
Mario Beaulieu, Bloc Québécois MP La Pointe-de-l’Île
Rabbi David Mivasair, representative of Independent Jewish Voices
John Philpot, attorney, international law and International Courts
Aseel al Bajeh, Al-Haq, Palestine
and others
It is a crime in Canada to recruit anyone for a foreign military.
It is also a crime to aid and abet such recruitment by offering incentives and encouraging any person to serve in a foreign military.
The Foreign Enlistment Act states,
“Any person who, within Canada, recruits or otherwise induces any person or body of persons to enlist or to accept any commission or engagement in the armed forces of any foreign state or other armed forces operating in that state is guilty of an offence.”The only exception would be the recruitment of Israeli citizens who are not Canadian.
A formal complaint was provided to Justice Minister Lametti in October, and more evidence has been provided to the RCMP on January 3, 2021.
