Isreal's occupation of Palestinian land is illegal. End the apartheid state. The settlements are illegal. This has also been stated by the UN General assembly numerous times.
Why would Air Canada, who was awarded "best airline in North America" (Skytrax 2017), have outsourced maintenance work for its Boeing 787 and 767 jets to Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the largest state-owned military and weapon producer in Israel? IAI is the subject of boycotts across Europe for its deadly drone technology and production. Corporate Watch from the UK says that “IAI was one of the earliest developers of drone technology and launched its first surveillance drone in 1979. IAI's website boasts that its drones have an "unsurpassed track record of over 1,200,000 operational flight hours for over 50 users on five continents." A 2014 study entitled Sleepless in Gaza by Dr. Atef Abu Saif details the terrifying impact of drone attacks on the Gaza Strip, especially on children, “Since their first use in 2000, drones have led to the death of hundreds of Palestinians and have injured thousands more. In addition, they have directly impacted Palestinian psychological and social life, as well as causing a grossly negative impact on education.” My entire family and I will boycott Air Canada, Mr. Calin Rovinescu, and are calling on you to end Air Canada’s contracts with IAI along with any other contracts which violate the Fourth Geneva Convention (aka war crimes) and to bring skilled jobs back to Canada.
I don't want Air Canada to support a country that ignores international laws. Also because there's no good reason to outsource at the expense of skilled workers in Canada.
Why give such maintenance contract to a foreign firm, doesn't Canada have great technicians and engineers??? why was this contract signed with Israel anyway??? was there kickbacks as usual with any dealings with Israel?
Air Canada must respect human-rights of Palestinians & stop complicity with Israeli arms & munitions murder in Palestine & the whole Middle-east. There are 10s of millions of deaths in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria, Libya, Sudan etc. Foreign mercenaries have been armed & supplied by Israeli arms conduits. 65% of Israeli export economy is arms, munitions & security into mostly conflict zones of Israel's creation. Israel is signing its own demise by NAKBA (disaster) expelling & genocide against Palestinians not working with Palestinians as the 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') peoples. Palestinians have essential indigenous knowledge needed for Israel to live ecologically. www.indigenecommunity.info
