“Our friends have been assaulted, tasered, beaten, kidnapped, robbed, and imprisoned and we have now learned that the Department [of] Foreign Affairs is telling them they have to pay for their deportation flight...If Minister Baird wants to put the interests of a far-right Israeli government before Canadians, he should apply for the job of Israel’s ambassador...Unfortunately, when it comes to Israel, Baird is soft on crime.”
- Wendy Goldsmith, organizer with the Canadian Boat to Gaza
