Sarah Jama, an MPP from Hamilton-Centre, has been removed from the Ontario NDP caucus. This decision was made by NDP Leader Marit Stiles due to Jama’s unilateral actions that undermined the collective work and trust of her colleagues. Some of her actions were reported to have contributed to unsafe work environments for staff.
This decision coincides with ongoing censure proceedings by the Doug Ford government regarding Jama’s comments on the Israel-Gaza war, where she called for an end to “Israeli apartheid” and faced accusations of having a history of antisemitism.
Having an opposing view of the modern state of Israel is antisemitism?
If any other country does the same things as Israel does, it’s called debate and a difference of opinion.
If we’re debating about Israel … it’s called antisemitism.
Shit like this is what drives real antisemitism.
The debate allows extremism to entrench itself on all sides …
No matter how you paint it … as long as the conflict continues, all sides equally win and lose and people just keep dying because no one wants an honest debate or resolution.
… even me just pointing this out places a target on my back
Staying the fact that Israel has been commuting apartheid is apparently anti-Semitic now.
