As John Bender may ask, “can you describe the controversial comments?”

These days, suggesting 5000 != 1500 is considered controversial.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Ontario New Democrats have kicked Hamilton Centre MPP Sarah Jama out of caucus, nearly two weeks after she posted a controversial statement in support of Palestinians.

NDP Leader Marit Stiles said in a statement Monday that while the caucus allows different viewpoints, some of Jama’s actions since making her comments “have contributed to unsafe work environments for staff.”

Jama also said on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday that her Hamilton Centre office staff were directed to work remotely because they had “received a number of concerning calls and emails that have made us question the safety of remaining open for walk-ins.”

Michael Levitt, president and chief executive officer of Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center, echoed similar sentiments, saying it was “important to see” Stiles take the “necessary steps.”

“Jama’s abhorrent and reckless words and actions have caused repeated hurt and harm to the Jewish community in her riding of Hamilton Centre and far beyond,” he wrote on X.

“In truth,” the statement adds, “the Ontario NDP are the ones who have created and perpetuated a violently unsafe environment for a Black Muslim disabled revolutionary woman.”
