Eight Jewish women staged a sit-in at the Israeli consulate in Toronto on Wednesday to protest the Gaza invasion.
Those protesting included Judy Rebick, professor; Judith Deutsch, psychoanalyst and president of Science for Peace; B.H. Yael, filmmaker; Smadar Carmon, a Canadian Israeli peace activist and others.
The group stated that they want to raise their voices against the atrocities taking place in Gaza. They also stated that speaking 'as Jews' - the IDF operation is not being conducted in their name.
They demanded that:
(1) Israel end its military assault on Gaza.
(2) Israel lift the 18-month siege on the Gaza strip to allow humanitarian aid into the territory.
