Someone who believes police should be abolished and that they kill babies across Ontario has just been elected as an NDP MPP in Ontario.
During the campaign, Jama was called to task over past comments by B’nai Brith, Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Hamilton Jewish Federation. Jama was highly active in student politics while at McMaster University and attended, even organized, several rallies to denounce Israel..Her social media, scrubbed of many past comments on Twitter and Facebook, showed a woman who held extreme views on Israel.
“Claims by the NDP that it stands against anti-Semitism must be more than just words. The decision by both Stiles and Jama to stay silent publicly on these important issues is deafening and sends a clear message to the Jewish community,” FSWC Canada CEO Michael Levitt said on Wednesday.“These issues are complex and my poor choice of words in the video that has been circulating has not helped. I apologize for my comments which have been harmful,” Jama said.
“Jama’s first attempt at an apology is not at a level acceptable to B’nai Brith Canada or Ontarians in general,” said B’nai Brith Canada CEO Michael Mostyn. “Her apology appears to inherently deny her pattern of radical behaviour and solely on the language recorded in one disturbing video.”
