Ontario New Democrat MPP Joel Harden has apologized for making comments about the Israeli\u002DPalestinian conflict.
Much of what he said in a video interview a year ago that came to light over the weekend — for example that Israel’s occupation of the Palestinians is the world’s longest ongoing military occupation and that Israel is the greatest source of violence in the Mideast — didn’t strike me as anti-Semitic.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Ottawa SUN, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
Warlike Iran, a state sponsor of global terrorism currently beating, jailing and murdering women for refusing to wear the hijab, because of its abhorrent, totalitarian and theocratic leaders, is the greatest source of violence in the Mideast today.
“I have asked many questions of Jewish neighbours here about, you know, how much longer we should put up with this, because if I were to name the single greatest threat, the single greatest origin of violence in the Middle East, it is unquestionably the state of Israel, and the way in which they feel absolutely no shame in defying international law doing whatever they want.”Article content
