BC NDP minister Selina Robinson has issued an apology after coming under fire for calling Gaza a ‘crappy piece of land’ during a virtual speakers panel among other Jewish politicians.
The comment was made Jan. 30, during a nearly two-hour panel discussion streamed on YouTube and hosted by B’nai Brith Canada, which featured Robinson, who is B.C.’s post-secondary education minister, as well as Senator Marc Gold, Ontario Solicitor General Michael Kerzner and MP Ben Carr.
