Orginal French post, followed by English translation…What Alexandre fails to mention, however, is that the violence at Al-Aqsa is a direct result of hundreds of Palestinian rioters initiating violence by throwing rocks and firecrackers at Israeli Police and Jewish worshipers. It is important to note that throughout Ramadan, Israel has facilitated over 60,000 Muslims to pray peacefully and safely and is committed to the status quo on the Temple Mount. Please email NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh directly at Jagmeet.Singh@parl.gc.ca or connect with him on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or TikTok and call on him to issue an apology and to retract Deputy Leader Boulerice’s comments. ___________________________________________________Over the weekend other Canadian politicians also decided to take to social media to comment on the current conflict between Israelis and Palestinians and the violence seen at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Unfortunately, these comments were riddled with misinformation which needed to be addressed, so HonestReporting Canada corrected each politician on their comments.
