OTTAWA — The federal NDP is preparing for a national convention that could see the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict overshadow the party’s first in-person membership gathering in five years.

A pair of policy resolutions focused on support for Palestinians — which were submitted to the party for consideration before Saturday’s deadly attack on Israel by Hamas militants — could potentially hit the convention floor when party faithful arrive in Hamilton, Ont. on Friday for the three-day affair.

It’s not the first time contentious resolutions about the conflict have sparked debate at NDP conventions. At the party’s virtual gathering in 2021, a resolution was adopted with 80 per cent support that called on the New Democrats to support cutting off arms sales to Israel and to block trade with Israeli settlements, which much of the international community views as illegal. The resolution was castigated by the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) for what the organization said was the party’s “toxic obsession with Israel.”

Ooops.

This is the same debate that tore apart the green party. This could get ugly for them. The left is strongly anti-semetic and showing weakness on that front could cost the ndp votes it desperately needs

The NDP always sail in whichever direction the wind is blowing. Their ability to tack is somewhat lacking.

"Maybe this is not the time" ?

How about: "Maybe this is not the time for people who lack foresight as badly as the NDP." ?

Jagmeet and his party are a bunch of losers. They supported BLM and some of them are now busted for floating a theory that 'somehow Iran doesn't give the Palestinians enough money, so Canada should send them a few billion that we don't need'...

Of course it's the time to say what you were going to say Jagmeet, don't be a little biotch. Sack up.
