Ever since another round of conflict began in the Middle East in May 2021, the Green Party of Canada has been rocked by infighting and a leadership crisis. Jenica Atwin, an MP from New Brunswick and the Greens' latest addition to the House of Commons, who has described Israel as an "apartheid" strate, recently crossed the floor to join the Liberals, after clashing with a Zionist advisor to Leader Annamie Paul. But what's really going on? Is the biggest fault line truly Canada's relationship to Israel?

To help understand what's going on, Avi is joined today by Jeremy Appel, an Alberta-based progressive journalist who's covered the Greens for years.
