Annamie Paul is one of only 2 candidates who refused to endorse the MP pledge to oppose Israeli annexation, which was signed by all 3 Green MPs. She refused to respond to our questionnaire. She has no foreign policy on her website.
This is how Annamie Paul responded to a specific question about whether she would support imposing sanctions on Israel. She doesn’t answer the question, other than to say that she prefers dialogue. (During @rabbleca / @ForeignPoli_C debate)
Today in Parliament, @ElizabethMay tabled a petition for Canada to respond to Israel's annexation plans by:
1- banning imports of settlement goods;
2- formally distinguish b/w Israel ‘proper’ and the OPT
3- terminate charitable status for groups that support Israeli settlements.

The petition had 1111 signatures and was initiated by David Kattenburg from Winnipeg, Manitoba @davekat petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/De…
By the way, 5 of the Green Party leadership candidates signed this petition to ban settlement goods (still in the race: @MeryamHd2020, @dimitrilascaris, @AmitaKuttner, @DavidMerner). The others did not respond.
