Ousted Hamilton Centre NDP MPP Sarah Jama was captured on video claiming the raping of women and beheading of children by Hamas during their Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel is 'misinformation.'
Ontario’s Education Minister Stephen Lecce is not pleased with a video that has emerged of ousted Hamilton Centre NDP MPP Sarah Jama in which she speaks of “the Zionist lobby” pressuring the provincial government to censure her indefinitely.
The video, in what looks like a classroom or boardroom and dated in Hamilton on Nov. 14, has Jama also denying the rapes of women and beheading of children in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
“There is no actual evidence of these rapes and the babies with their heads cut off — all these things are pieces of misinformation,” Jama says in the video posted on X by @AntisemitismCA.
“So I think it shows the strength of the Zionist lobby here in Canada and the ways in which they were able to pressure an entire government operation to censure me indefinitely until I apologized.”
On his X feed, Lecce posted: “It’s deeply unsettling to see an elected Member of Provincial Parliament openly & confidently deny the depravity of this barbaric terrorist attack. The attempt to mainstream denialism is a serious affront to our democracy & undermines our common humanity. It’s just not right.”
Jama, now an Independent, was censured by the Ontario legislature last month after a controversial social media post about the Israel-Hamas war that focused on the decades-long struggle of Palestinians under Israeli occupation, which she referred to as “apartheid.”
She later posted an apology online but did not retract the original statement and was later kicked out of the NDP caucus.
Jeremy Corbyn, the divisive far-left former leader of Britain’s Labour Party who has supported Jama, was blasted by British host Piers Morgan on Monday for refusing to label Hamas a terrorist organization during a heated exchange.
“Are Hamas a terror group? Yes or no?” Morgan asked Corbyn in a verbal battle that has since gone viral online. “I’ve asked you two questions: Should Hamas stay in power and are they a terror group? You’re refusing to answer either of them. That is very telling. And you wonder why people believe you had a problem with Jewish people.”
“That is not very telling at all!” Corbyn yelled back. “What is very telling is your inability to keep quiet for 30 seconds to allow anyone to answer a question.”
Corbyn was eventually suspended from the Labour Party from the party over charges of antisemitism.
