At the close of 2008, I joined thousands in Toronto to protest Israel’s attack on Gaza, and even spoke at some of the rallies. Like people all over the world, we called for an immediate end to the war. At York University, where I was a student, we mobilized the campus to stop the bombing and to defend Palestinian rights. Only a few months after the siege, the bombs dropped again, but this time, they were falling on my own people – in the Vanni region of northern Sri Lanka. And once again, we hit Toronto’s streets in protest.
