AI transcript:
Speaker 1 00:00 At least one prominent Jewish group and few others have accused you harboring anti-israel sentiments that this group and others believe are harmful to the Jewish Community. I know you yourself are Jewish, and you have, of course, supported Palestine over the last few weeks. The last few months, um, and during this campaign as well.
00:16 I wonder, what do you have to say about that, that these Jewish groups are calling you anti-israel at this point. Well, I come from a
Speaker 2 00:24 Long tradition, uh, a multi-generation tradition of Jewish, uh, anti-zionalism. My great-grandfather was a leader in the Jewish labor Bund, which was founded in 1897, five weeks after the first meeting of the world Zionist Congress. So, as long as there's been formal pro-israel Zionist organizations, there's been a tradition that has disagreed with that within the Jewish Community.
00:47 I believe there's a significant number of Canadian Jews who feel the way I do, and it's been very welcome. To feel so at home in the NDP, a party which has expressed moral Clarity over the genocide in Gaza consistently as we express our outrage over the illegal attack on Iran, which is destabilizing our daily lives and geopolitics and the world economy, all at the same time, and this is part and parcel of being anti-war, pro-international law, and fundamental human rights.
01:17 And that's my legacy. As a Jewish person, it's part of my. As part of my culture, and it's part of my jewishness, and not all people in the Jewish community in Canada agree, and those are more hard conversations and more hard debates, which we have in our own families, which we have in our community.
01:35 And they're not going anywhere, but I've been clear and consistent in my position, and my position is pro-human life.
Awesome, thank you!
