Selina Robinson quits BC NDP caucus, citing anti-Semitism

The former cabinet minister says the party is not doing enough to combat anti-Semitism

Former cabinet minister Selina Robinson resigned Wednesday (March 6) from the B.C. NDP caucus saying she feels the party is not doing enough to combat anti-Semitism.

“I’m just saying there has been anti-Semitism in caucus,” she said. “(If) you pay attention to our conventions, there is a lot of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment, certainly around the state of Israel.”

British Columbians of Jewish faith are hiding their Stars of David (jewelry) and Jewish businesses have had to hire extra security, she added.
