Mr. Speaker, this is what I spoke about at the beginning. The role of Canada to be a voice for justice is important. It is not acceptable to watch a genocide and say that we do not want to say anything because the people committing the genocide are our allies. We have no allies who commit genocide. What we have is an obligation to speak up and defend people's rights. We have to defend all the rights.
The NDP spoke up against the horrific attacks of Hamas on October 7. Those were crimes against humanity. We expect the international court to act. We also expect Canada and the Prime Minister to stand up for the protection of people who are being deliberately starved.
Canada has a bad history. It used deliberate starvation in an attempt to take the land from the indigenous people. People will never give up the land. That is the message we need to give to Netanyahu. We cannot starve the people off the land, and we cannot bomb the people off the land, but we can be held accountable for the crimes that we commit on the land.
