FIRST READING: Liberal MP photographed next to serial organizer of terrorist vigils Back to video

A man with a history of organizing public vigils for terrorist leaders posted a weekend picture of himself alongside a Liberal MP, praising their “nice interaction” and claiming she had promised him she wouldn’t “bow to any Zionist lobbies.”

Firas Al-Najim has been described by multiple Jewish organizations as a “notorious” Toronto-area anti-Israel activist, with a years-long history of extremist rhetoric targeting Canada’s Jewish and Persian communities.

On Sunday, Al-Najim posted a photo to X.com of himself alongside Salma Zahid, Liberal MP for Scarborough Centre—Don Valley East.
