Make no mistake, the NDP agree with everything Jama said and stands for. They just saw polling and did what's best to maintain seats.

No they don't I am a member and know several others and we as a whole certainly do not support this. Are there some factions...sure... But I wouldn't paint with a broad brush. It be just as unfair to paint the conservatives as racist by pointing to their worst apples

I'd probably delete from my resume "Senior Advisor to Dalton McGuinty & Kathleen Wynne" if I had any sense of shame or pride whatsoever.

[@jeffspicolli593]

Jama was a activist before being elected and it seems she had a difficult time switching to the legislator hat. Hopefully at some poimt a review of non-profits and charities will take place making it more difficult for Jama to continue on the public teat.

When are Canadians finally going to wake up and see the NDP for what they really are…a very dangerous group.

Canadians are not very smart. One notch lower than New Zealanders. Probably 10 notches lower than the Americans.

You should have had Jagmeet Singh's brother former MPP. He would have revealed what NDP really thinks of Hamas given what a honest lad he is.

[@mg2779]

She certainly isn't the only one who lost her job (or saw a demotion) for speaking the truth that Israel is an apartheid regime. Truth hurts, I guess.

[@socksrwooly]

Yes but when Palestine has to hide behind woman and children after going on a murderous rampage..... Then we know that Palestine doesn't have land because they have no men...

[@HuplesCat]

It is a disgrace to remove her. She told the truth

[@xyzabc6626]

She is not even criticising anyone, she simply spoke sense to a crazy world that believes bombing children is self-defense.

[@marlonlo9661]

Is not antisemitic to criticize the brutal repressive nature of the Israeli government.

[@debbiejones6779]

It's antisemitic to justify the deliberate targeting of Jewish children, women men who are civilians and are butchered, raped, murdered. you can support Palestinians but DEFENDING HAMAS IS INDEFENSIBLE

[@fortniteballs8538]

So one cannot speak of the ulls of Israel w/o being called antisemite...smh....are they above criticism,apparently!

Even though i have always been a staunch supporter of the NDP - le NPD, i am so profoundly disappointed in Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles for expelling Hamilton Centre, ON MPP Sarah Jama from the party caucus.

[@dinkster1729]

Pretty terrifying since the On NDP is one of our leading progressive parties across Canada. What next, @Marit Stiles?

[@scotho5239]

This is how Tom Mulclair went down in flames. He was ahead in the polls until he took that crazy position about Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. I'm one of those he lost that day. Now he is just a teacher and a pundit when he could have easily been the PM of Canada. We are not going to accept to be subjected to the craziness going on in a foreign country here in Canada. This NDP MPP should be free to think and shay whatever she wants without repercussions. This is a free country.
