Mansour Shouman has been missing for more than a week now after being abducted by the IDF. He is a journalist who got his family out, but remained in Gaza to report from the ground there. He's also been promoting and raising money for civilian aid. He's Canadian-Palestinian, and this petition is asking Canada to make his release a priority... if he's still alive.
"Declaration of civil servants regarding Gaza:
Recalling that:
We have the duty to respect, protect and uphold our constitutions and international and national legal obligations which our democratically elected executives have committed us to
We are expected as civil servants to respect, serve and uphold the law while implementing policies, regardless of the political parties in power that we have done so for our entire careers
We have been hired to serve, inform and advise our governments/institutions and we have demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and experience that our governments have relied on over the past decades of our service
We have internally expressed our concerns that the policies of our governments/institutions do not serve our interests and called for alternatives that would better serve national and international security, democracy and freedom reflect the core principles of western foreign policy and incorporate lessons learned
Our professional concerns were overruled by political and ideological considerations
We are obliged to do everything in our power on behalf of our countries and ourselves to not be complicit in one of the worst human catastrophes of this century and
We are obliged to warn the publics of our countries, whom we serve, and to act in concert with transnational colleagues.
We publicly reiterate our concerns that:
Israel has shown no boundaries in its military operations in which has resulted in tens of thousands of preventable civilian and that the deliberate blocking of by has led to a , putting thousands of civilians at risk of and slow death
Israel's military operations have not contributed to its goal of releasing all and is putting their well-being, lives and release at risk
Israel's military operations have disregarded all important expertise gained since 9/11 and that the operation has not contributed to Israels goal of defeating and instead has strengthened the appeal of Hamas, and other negative actors
The ongoing military operation will be detrimental not just for Israels own security but also regional stability the risk of wider wars is also negatively impacting stated security objectives of our governments
Our governments have provided the Israeli military operation with public, diplomatic and military support that this support has been given without real conditions or accountability and that when faced with humanitarian catastrophe, our governments have failed to call for an immediate ceasefire and an end to blockages of necessary food/water/medicine in Gaza
Our governments current policies weaken their moral standing and undermine their ability to stand up for freedom, justice, and human rights globally and weaken our efforts to rally international support for Ukraine and to counter malign actions by Russia, China and Iran and
There is a plausible risk that our governments policies are contributing to grave violations of international , and even or .
We therefore call on our governments/institutions to:
Stop asserting to the public that there is a strategic and defensible rationale behind the Israeli operation and that supporting it is in our countries interests
Hold Israel, like all actors, accountable to international humanitarian and human rights standards applied elsewhere and to forcefully respond to attacks against civilians, as we are doing in our support to the Ukrainian people this includes demanding immediate and full implementation of the recent order of the International Court of Justice
Use all leverage available - including a halt to military support - to secure a lasting and full humanitarian access in Gaza and a safe release of all hostages and
Develop a strategy for lasting peace that includes a secure Palestinian state and guarantees for Israels security, so that an attack like 7 October and an offensive on Gaza never happen again. "

Unless governments reverse their decisions to suspend aid to UNRWA, they risk contributing to the current catastrophe.
