CIJA is the largest Israeli lobby group in Canada, and represents the views Israel's government wants to advertise to the world.

Under the guise of "peace" talks, Israel has moved hundreds of thousands of settlers into the West Bank and has created the longest military occupation in modern history. Will this bring peace?

Under the guise of "peace" talks, Israel has launched wars against a besieged Gaza killing thousands, destroying infrastructure, and turning Gaza into what many have called the world's largest prison. Will this bring peace?

Under the guise of "peace" talks there are 5 million refugees scattered around the region. Even after the refugees experienced hell in Syria, they were not even allowed to return to the occupied territories. Will this bring peace with Israel's neighbours?

"Peace" talks have been a disaster for Palestinians. The world must finally stand up to what, in December, the UN Security Council has called "flagrant violations". Time for actions, not words.
