From the article;

What are your feelings towards the New Democrats today?
I always used to say, Jewish values are New Democrat values. And I still believe that, but what I am seeing is that New Democrats are contradicting their own values. They’ve become very unprogressive, particularly the federal party, and their approach to the conflict in Israel and the Middle East is so one-sided. And the comments that I see are so antisemitic. I am sure that Jack Layton is turning over in his grave. Tom Mulcair has spoken out about it, the growth in antisemitism. He was able to shut down this level of hatred and vitriol towards Jews. And so I want voters to pay attention to who they’re voting for, because I do not believe that today’s New Democrats represent progressive values.

Is it your belief the New Democrats are increasing antisemitism in Canada?
Absolutely right. So this is coming for years. This isn’t new. I’ve seen it growing over time, among extreme voices among progressives, and they have become mainstream within progressive circles.

We’re seeing it now in union leadership in particular, and it is so unprogressive. They don’t listen to Jewish voices. The first lesson in racism is listen to those who are most impacted, but Jewish voices are completely silenced and drowned out.

So what we are seeing among leftist politics and extreme voices, they’re very hateful and very dangerous. I also see just politically, there’s a level of pandering to extremist voices, that is I think reprehensible.

As a result, the leadership of progressive federal parties, provincial parties, are aligning themselves with conservative Muslim groups that are anti-Israel.

It’s like you don’t even read it!??
