On September 12-13, Halifax is scheduled to host a Davis Cup international tennis match between Team Canada and Israel at Scotiabank Centre. This event offers Israel the opportunity to sportswash its genocide in Gaza—to use sports to launder its reputation and distract from its human rights atrocities.

It’s significant that this match is scheduled to take place at Scotiabank Centre. Scotiabank is among the top five shareholders of Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer. Elbit supplies 85 percent of Israel’s drones and up to 85 percent of its land-based equipment. This match is serving up Palestinian blood, masked as friendly international competition.
