Seventy-seven years after the displacement of Palestinians due to Israel’s establishment, Canadian activists and lawmakers are proposing the “Nakba Bill” to challenge ongoing occupation, which aims to reshape Canada’s Middle East policy, including recognizing Nakba Day and curbing trade ties with Israel. Stephen Brown, CEO of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, emphasizes that the bill seeks to promote peace through diplomacy while addressing anti-Palestinian racism and imposing sanctions on Israeli leaders accused of war crimes. With growing international criticism of Israel’s actions, discussions are underway to sponsor the bill in Canada’s Parliament, reflecting a shift in public and political sentiment.
