Fighting resumed in Gaza this morning after a 72 hour cease-fire and Toronto motorists on Bloor Street were inconvenienced by a die-in outside the Israeli Consulate.  

From the organizers' press release:

Canada - STOP arming Israel...

Many Canadian companies including Alphacasting Inc., based in St-Laurent, Quebec, manufacture key components for the weapons systems used by the Israeli military to harm innocent Palestinian civilians.  In 2012, the Canadian Pension Plan (CPP) invested $3.2m in Israel Chemicals Ltd., a company that extracts uranium for Israel's nuclear weapons and DU (depleted uranium).
