The NDP should apologize for enabling the US/Israeli war on Iran. The party has long assisted imperial aggression, which has escalated to a cataclysmic war.

Avi Lewis is right to not boost the genocidal warmongers. The NDP leadership candidate didn’t join other dippers and ‘pro-Palestinian’ thought leaders in encouraging an authoritarian Zionist frenzy.

Describing itself as a “platform” for the US empire, NATO is supporting war on Iran and radically increased military spending.
