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.
I don't especially agree with her, but I don't understand why this was sufficient grounds to boot her out of caucus. From what I've seen she wasn't encouraging violence or anything.
Apparently she agreed to a course of action with the NDP leader and then just went and said the opposite in public
I haven't looked into her comments to evaluate what I think of them, but any part would be tempted to de-caucus anyone about to be censured so when the censure inevitably happens the news headline is 'independent MPP censured' instead of 'NDP MPP censured'.
It'll just get reported as former NDP MPP censured.
You're naive. Conservative media will just say former NDP member censored
Yeah but potential NDP voters don't read conservative media (or at least only do so for context of what conservatives think)
So nice to see the NDP caving to that piece of shit Foug Dord. This is why people don't vote NDP, zero backbone.
I think it's not so much caving as it focusing the narrative.
In opposition, where the government has a strong majority, the NDP only get so much time to push their agenda, and Doug will happily waste time harping on this Member, rather than field Marit and her caucus' questions on his blatant corruption.
You got my attention and have earned my cautious support, if only on the Marits
I'm livid. The Ontario NDPs are failing their constituents. I will not be voting for NDPs provincially from hereon, fuck this garbage.
Man wtf is politics even for anymore
