Singh calling Netanyahu's government "extremist" and "dangerous to democracy"
NDP petition to stop selling weapons to Israel.
NDP pushing Liberals to recognize Palestine as a state.
Jagmeet responding to concerns that he hasn't addressed the anti-Palestinian racism
Message from the National Council of Canadian Muslims thanking Jagmeet Singh for his efforts to help Palestinians:
How about you do some research next time before you go around being a reactionary.
To quote one of the links you shared: [Please] Do not condescend me sir.
I don't think you've presented a very compelling case. Of the 5 links: 1 is an NDP petition sign-up page, 1 is a send-a-letter to a political leader, 1 is the NDP tabling a motion in the HoC during which Singh was absent, 1 was a Singh press conference on other topics where he was asked about Palestine and he just admitted that anti-Palestinian racism existed, and 1 was a Singh press conference about other topics back in November where he expressed some focal criticism of the Netanyahu government.
I fail to see much evidence that Singh has a significant role in the NDP's relatively greater criticism of Israel and its ongoing slaughter in Palestine compared to the LPC and CPC. To me, the resources you shared lightly support my sense that Singh is "at arm's length" from his party's politics on that issue.
Whether that's strategic - so that he and the NDP can collectively appeal to as many voters as possible - or whether he personally has been "affected by Israel lobbying"; we'll likely never know
