The United Nations has been stymied from action about the genocide that the Government of Israel with the military support and assurance of impunity provided the USA's Security Council veto,  and by other western nations including Canada has been carrying out in Palestine before, on, and after October 7th, 2023.

Francesca Albanese as special rapporteur of the UN makes clear in eloquent, compassionate, and heartfelt terms what the fundamental issues are and that above all the genocide of Palestinians must be stopped. 

Provided in this post is the YouTube link  to the video recording of Albanese's CPAC press conference in Ottawa in the first week of November 2024.    In 34 minutes she presents TRUTH to counter the rhetoric and lies which confound and perpetuate Israel's unlawful and amoral genocide of Palestinians and Palestine.

Albanese's report is intended to stop the genocide and to end this 76+ years intentional implementation of Plan Dalet (see Wikipedia for a summary) - essentially to expand Israel's sovereignty over all of Palestine, to erase Palestinian culture,  to deprive the people  of the essentials of life, and to remove Palestinians  - by all means including further mass killings.

As people of faith, there is no legal, moral, or theological justification for Israel's intention.  It is clear that the political leaders will not heed the call of the Spirit for truth, justice, and peace.  So it is up to all who are led by the Spirit to act as friends and companions on the Way of Jesus. 

From the 1980s' campaign against the white South Afrikaner government we learned that recalcitrant  supremacist governments and their allies do not listen to truth and justice for peace.  We know that finally it was BDS - Boycott, Divest, and Sanction - brought about the tipping point for the liberation of South Africa's black and brown peoples.   Today again it is time for BDS to finally help the State of Israel to discover less costly and more legal and just ways of relating to the indigenous Palestinian peoples.   

Just relations are not easy.   Canada itself, and I as a settler Canadian, still have much to learn about our historic and current colonial relationship to the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island.  Our Earth and its diverse peoples is too small for the carnage and destruction settler colonialism wreaks. It must be transformed into healthy, just, and relationships - globally and locally.
