Back to EpisodesAvi Lewis Elected NDP Leader Amid Antisemitism Concerns
Description
Avi Lewis, a self-described anti-Zionist Jewish activist, has been elected as the new leader of Canadas federal NDP, replacing Jagmeet Singh. This comes after the NDP lost seats in the last election, leading to Singhs resignation. Canadian Jewish groups are concerned about Lewiss views on Zionism and antisemitism, as they believe it may exclude Jews and contribute to rising antisemitism. The NDP is also facing criticism for focusing too much on overseas conflicts while Canadians deal with domestic issues. Lewis has not yet addressed these concerns, and all eyes are on how this leadership shift will play out amid rising tensions and the partys efforts to rebuild.
