        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2043288\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, the comments made by the deputy leader of the NDP concerning the state of Israel are not only irresponsible and counterproductive, but they are unworthy of Canada's foreign policy. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2043289\" data-originallang=\"fr\">While acting as a moderator in the region, Canada has always defended Israel's right to exist. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2043290\" data-originallang=\"en\">The comments of the NDP's deputy leader, on the other hand, qualify as gratuitous rhetoric that reveals intolerable ignorance of Israel's history. When she questioned Israel's right to exist, her remarks went beyond the realm of what is acceptable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2043291\" data-originallang=\"en\">If the leader of the NDP does not demand the deputy leader's resignation, then he is indeed condoning her remarks.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2043292\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Canadian politicians can give neither authority nor publicity to this kind of anti-Israel rhetoric, and the leader of the NDP knows it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2043293\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Canadian politicians cannot repeat this kind of rhetoric, nor give it any platform. The NDP leader knows this and should ask his deputy leader to step down.</p>",

Quand elle a remis en question le droit d'exister d'Isra\u00ebl, elle a d\u00e9pass\u00e9 les bornes de l'acceptable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2043291\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si le chef du NPD n'exige pas la d\u00e9mission de sa chef adjointe, il indiquera qu'il cautionne ses propos.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2043292\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les politiciens canadiens ne peuvent ni sanctionner ni promouvoir ce genre de propos anti-isra\u00e9liens, et le chef du NPD le sait bien.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2043293\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les politiciens canadiens ne peuvent ni se faire l'\u00e9cho de ce genre de discours ni lui donner de la publicit\u00e9. Le chef du NPD le sait, et il doit exiger la d\u00e9mission de sa chef adjointe.</p>"
