Her comments are trending on the social media.

“It’s strange to be standing up here when we are witnessing the genocide of the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israeli settler colonial state,” Maslany said.

“…We watch and we do nothing and I would say with whatever platform I have that we can’t do nothing and I would demand that our government demands ceasefire, stop funding the genocide, stop being complicit in it.”

She then thanked everyone for this honor and shouted “Free Palestine”

She later spoke to the media saying what is happening in Gaza is

“is beyond, beyond comprehension,” adding “there so much action that can be taken by our government, by the US government” but “they are doing exactly the opposite.”

“And by funding the Israeli army. By supporting the genocide, we are complicit, Maslany added in reference to Canada’s pro-Israeli stances.

“And so I couldn’t stand up here as a Canadian, flanked by Mounties without speaking to that and without acknowledging it..”

The battle for Al Shujaiyia increases in intensity as a broad Palestinian coalition of fighters that include a brigade from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine stand up to the Israeli occupation invaders.

On the Israeli side, four soldiers were reported dead in less than 48 hours in major battles between Hamas and Saraya Al Quds fighters Israeli soldiers who forced their way into the neigborhood under intense air cover of bombardment.

⚡️Four brigades are currently engaged in the Battle of Shujaiya:

Al-Quds Brigade, Al-Qassam Brigade, Al-Aqsa Brigade, and PFLP

The following are the “ANNOUNCED” operations within the last 24 hours in #Shujaiya:

In the two-day battle now going on into its third, five Israeli soldiers as well are being reported by Al Jazeera as having suffered injuries and taken to hospital inside Israel through helicopters.

The battle is already fierce but the Palestinian resistance forces say they will maintain pressure on the Israeli army to withdraw as they did elsewhere like Jabalia and Biet Lahia.

Experts say the Israeli forces are losing steam as they go in places like Al Shujaiyia; they stay there, bomb, believe they got rid of Palestinian fighters and then leave. Meanwhile Palestinian fighters regroup, redevelop, gain their strength back and are out again in top form.

This scenario is likely to be repeated in the current fighting in Al Shujaiyia. Because of the nature of the Israeli army and its organizational structure, they must follow orders that comes from the political leaders like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. This makes their job doubly difficult experts say.

Border tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon have increased over the past few weeks, with fears of an all-out war, the Turkish news agency adds, whilst maintaining that the Gaza war consumed far more weapons than the Israeli army expected, and usage remains high.

The supply of US weapons to Israel became a source of tension between the two allies after Netanyahu accused President Joe Biden of withholding weapons.
