NDP Candidate Craig Sauvé's campaign pamphlet depicts him standing in front of a Palestinian flag.
The NDP is leaping to the defence of Montréal byelection candidate Craig Sauvé after he was criticized for using a Palestinian flag on an election pamphlet.
"It's ludicrous to suggest that when a politician is seen with another flag it's un-Canadian, whether that's the Ukrainian flag, Israeli flag, Palestinian flag or other nations." A disgraceful attempt by @NDP candidate Craig Sauvé to import a foreign conflict into Québec and Canada. In a bid for votes, @theJagmeetSingh and the NDP are turning their backs on 🇨🇦 and our values, fueling antisemitism in the process. pic.twitter.com/ofZoQSpUAGThe CIJA said the move was "a disgraceful attempt … to import a foreign conflict into Québec and Canada" and accused the party of "fueling antisemitism.
The conflict has also displaced 90 per cent of Gaza's 2.3 million people from their homes and caused heavy destruction across the besieged territory."The NDP has been crystal clear on our position in support of a ceasefire and the release of all hostages because we believe in protecting both Israeli and Palestinian lives," the NDP statement continues.
