I present two supporting pieces of evidence to your post. Ask Project asking Palestinains to name one historic Palestinain leader . This video will speak for itself. New Palestinian museum opens without exhibits . Yes they finally added exhibits but to this day, the Palestine Museum has hardly anything to share that is not connected to the "Palestinain resistance" to Israel. Contrast it with the Israel Museum , one of the world's greatest national museums, or the Museum of the Jewish People . More on reddit.com

Compare Israel to other countries that are participating in major war crimes that you mentioned: Sudan, Yemen, Ethiopia, and Myanmar. Israel is a Canadian ally . We have a free trade agreement, science and innovation agreements, over $2 billion in trade annually, over $3 billion in bilateral investments, and exchange tens of thousands of tourists annually. None of these things can be said of any of the other countries mentioned. Canada has sanctions against Sudan . Most Canadian funds in Yemen are humanitarian aid . Ethiopia is one of the top recipients of Canadian humanitarian aid and Canada has a program for peacebuilding in response to the Tigray conflict. Canada has sanctions in place against trade with Myanmar and provides substantial humanitarian aid to the Rohingya. In short, Canada's relationship with these countries consists primarily of sanctioning their governments and providing humanitarian aid to victims of crises. For Canadians, there is no need to protest our involvement with these countries because the government is already undertaking the actions that such protestors would desire. Movements like BDS (boycott, divest, sanction) essentially attempt to pressure the Canadian government to take the same position with regards to Israel as it does with these other countries. Similarly, you should certainly expect massive protests if the Canadian government had cooperation agreements and encouraged trade with Russia amidst their invasion of Ukraine. These protests do not occur because the Canadian government is firmly supportive of Ukraine against Russia. Supporters of Ukraine thus have little disagreement with the government's position. The thesis is that if countries like Canada threaten sanctions on Israel as they did with South Africa during apartheid, the economic pressure would be such that Israel would have no choice but to reform its treatment of the occupied territories (as South Africa did).
