Ontario NDP candidate Sarah Jama won a provincial byelection Thursday in Hamilton Centre, securing a party stronghold represented for many years by former party leader Andrea Horwath.
"Sarah has been a dedicated, tenacious part of that work for a long time," she said in a statement."She’s a leader who understands the power of solidarity to win more for people and build stronger, more caring communities."She is the executive director and co-founder of the Disability Justice Network of Ontario and co-founded the Hamilton Encampment Support Network, among other community involvement. But Jewish organizations criticized some of her associations and remarks.
She also talks about Israel, saying despite a change of government in the country in 2021, “the same people will continue to fund the killing of people here, locally and globally.” The Hamilton Jewish Federation also said Jama's words had caused pain to the Jewish community. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs said Thursday that it acknowledged Jama's apology.
