A spokesman for the chair of an MP group says it is conducting a review after an alleged Holocaust denier took part in a recent event.
During question period in the House of Commons, Conservative deputy leader Melissa Lantsman called Khatatba a “dangerous antisemite, Holocaust denier and a terrorist sympathizer,” saying his publication has referred to the Holocaust as a hoax and “the biggest lie in history.”
Alghabra, who appears to have been the only cabinet minister to attend the event, also said antisemitism and all forms of hate should be condemned.Article contenttap here to see other videos from our teamConservative MP Larry Brock, the NDP’s Niki Ashton and the Green Party’s Elizabeth May were also at the event, among others.
May, a co-leader of the Green Party, said in a statement Friday that she “denounces” antisemitism, but added that “showing solidarity with Palestine isn’t antisemitism and neither is criticism of the state of Israel’s human rights record.” In his statement, Khatatba said his newspaper is “not antisemitic, and we have never spoken badly about Jews in Canada or other countries. Rather, we criticize the Israeli occupation policy and stand by the Palestinian people.”Article content
