OTTAWA — The federal NDP has ejected its candidate in a Halifax-area riding over comments she made last year on social media comparing Israel to Nazi Germany.



Rana Zaman, a social activist and Muslim who has spoken publicly about fighting Islamophobia, won the NDP nomination in Dartmouth-Cole Harbour in early May.

Israel is the only country in the region that would allow her as a woman to speak her mind on controversial topics. She would not compare the Middle East's' Christian genocide to nazi Germany if she was in the Palestinian Authority.

Believe it or not the NDP used to represent the average working man. My union leadership still supports them, but the due paying members do not. This is why I hate my union.

I'm not surprised in today's political climate..



The Liberals are trying to portray Andrew Scheer as an extremist sympathizer.

That's good, but comparing Israel to nazi Germany is silly.

Israel is a liberal democracy that respects human rights. Comparing a Western style liberal democracy to a regime that persecuted or slaughtered everybody that disagreed with them is asinine.

Silly comparisons are part of politics in Canada..



Justin Trudeau compares Andrew Scheer to white nationalists.

Yes. We have reached a point where such crap is common ... and usually allowed, often covered for by ALL forms of media

I was just posting on VF. Some of the comments made me cringe. Israel is an apartheid state. They have concentration camps for Palestinians. Israel is the only country in the region that doesn't persecute minorities.

Being compared to the third reich or Hitler are now trivial remarks. It's sickening.

That it is, ^^^ but that's just the tip of the iceberg - it's everything and everywhere



Western Society is in a very very bad place.



It started a few years back with idiotic PC concepts of morality and immorality being pushed by group A, but has grown greatly from then.



We have  now  reached a very bad and extreme point .. a point where ANYTHING goes (and is seen as the moral good) when the agenda of group A applies it.



At the same time, we have reached an equally very bad and extreme point wherein ANYTHING the opposite group B says that does not meet group A's approval  is dunned .. (in fact is put forward as immoral & evil).  





Further, media (ALL media) goes out of its way to make sure everyone hears group A over and over and in a favorable light and on the moral high ground.



That same media stifles group B  .. either by painting group B in a bad light for what it says as immoral .. or ... simply stifles what it says such that no one hears it





Western Society is in a very very bad place .. a place it has never been before (to such an extent) .. and .. short of great upheaval, will always be from here on in.



With media both out of control .. and at the same time in total and consolidated control .. plus completely in league with group A .. I see no way for things to improve



I see it as "we are caught / trapped in an bizarre upside down  morality play" - It feels to me like Western Society as a place of reason, stability, morality  and meaning is over

All our politicians kiss islamist ass, but the NDP takes it to a whole new level of submission.

Let's see, the ndp hates Israel and pipelines, but only if they carry Canadian oil and gas. They have no objection to foreign tankers carrying M.E. crude. They should seek elected office in UAE.
