Ohana has previously caused controversy by claiming in media interviews that Muslims are prone to “cultural murderousness.”.The advocacy group Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East is criticizing the senators for posting about the trip without mentioning human-rights concerns, just weeks after Ottawa condemned the Israeli government’s shift toward right-wing policies.
LaBoucane-Benson says the trio was unable to meet with Palestinian officials, but says she had called for peace and de-escalation of recent violence.
