CUPE National has taken a strong and honourable stand on the Gaza issue, as refected in Paul Moist's letter to Harper which I cited to open this thread.

Are you kidding me? Moist doesn't even call for an end to the Israeli occupation of Gaza - just a "ceasefire and a renewed commitment to the pursuit of peace"! He is careful to condemn "all acts of violence in the Middle East, including the Hamas rockets being launched into Israel and the Israeli offensive."

Strong and honourable? I think not. This is a mealy-mouthed, pox-on-both-sides, NDP-type statement.

Moist does not support the cause of the Palestinians. His refusal to support the boycott campaign is no mere "tactical" difference - it is a political one. Sid Ryan understands that.

The letter you posted by Denis Lemelin of CUPW is miles away better than Moist's.
