by Ben Cohen A Jewish politician who was forced to resign from her cabinet post in the government of British Columbia over remarks she made that were deemed offensive to Palestinians has announced her decision to quit the caucus of the ruling New Democratic Party (NDP) in the Canadian province, telling her colleagues that “you broke my heart” in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas pogrom in southern Israel. Selina Robinson, who served as minister of post-secondary education until last month, told local news outlets that she could no longer support the government, citing its indifference to antisemitism, including among her colleagues in the left-wing NDP. “That’s been my experience,” Robinson told CTV when asked about antisemitism in the NDP caucus. “There’s been history of that. I’m aware of people who have said or done antisemitic things over time. They’ve apologized or not.” Robinson added that she could not “continue to be the only voice speaking up against antisemitism and Jew hatred.” She said she had raised her concerns with British Columbia premier David Eby, but that “I continue to be the only one who is saying we have to do something differently.” “All of this has made Jewish people feel unsafe,” Robinson said. Robinson was compelled to tender her resignation from the cabinet following objections from the increasingly influential pro-Hamas lobby in Canada to a speech she made on Jan. 30, in which she pointed out that in the years prior to the creation of the State of Israel, the land was considered a relatively undeveloped backwater in the Middle East. “They don’t understand that it was a crappy piece of land with nothing on it,” Robinson said during an online panel hosted by a Jewish group, B’nai B’rith Canada. “You know, there were several hundred thousand people but other than that, it didn’t produce an economy. It couldn’t grow things it didn’t have anything on it, and that it was the folks that were displaced that came and had been living there for generations and together they worked hard and they had their own battles.” Despite apologizing for arguing a position that is held by many of the region’s historians and volunteering for Islamophobia training, Robinson said she was shunned by her colleagues, with her own anxieties about antisemitism ignored.
We need stronger Jewish politicians. "If you can't stand the heat," and all that.

Representatives from more than a dozen British Columbia mosques and Islamic associations have sent a letter to Premier David Eby calling for the minister of post-secondary education to be removed from her role.
They say no NDP MLA or candidate for the next election is welcome in their sacred spaces until the premier takes action against Selina Robinson.
She has faced heavy criticism and calls to resign for days after saying Israel was founded on a “crappy piece of land.”
She has since apologized in a social media post, saying her comments were “disrespectful,” and she had been referring to the land having limited natural resources.
Eby has said that Robinson’s comments were wrong and hurtful and increase division in the province, but has not directly responded to questions regarding whether he considered firing her.
This same woman btw called for colleges to fire professors that don't share her views but she thinks she should still get to keep her position.

Tim: Yeah, sure.
[an hour later]

As of right now, I have read ever post-crisis appearance of Catwoman that is canon or has ever been considered canon to the main DC universe, at least once. Which all told is over a thousand comic appearances. Yeah... Boy a lot of those were mid at best
#Which... I think makes me a Catwoman expert?#Except not really because I don't know shit about the behind the scenes parts of her character history#catwoman#selina kyle#also when I said all of Catwoman's appearances#I did also read all the appearances of each canon catwoman#holly robinson#and#eiko hasigawa#Also Kitrina because the hyperfixation is real
