With respect to the Liberal caucus, you juxtapose Anthony Housefather with Nathaniel Erskine-Smith. While it’s certainly valid to present Housefather’s pro-Israel viewpoint, I don’t feel that Erskine-Smith is necessarily the counterpoint to Housefather. Housefather has extremely – some might say “blindly” – pro-Israel views. In fact, Housefather’s views are far more extremely pro-Israel than many Jewish Canadians. But you fail to present others within the Liberal caucus – e.g. Salma Zahid, Chandra Arya, or Sameer Zuberi – who would give a much more powerful counterpoint.
