The Fredericton MP left the Greens on Thursday after openly criticizing party leader Annamie Paul s call for de-escalation of the recent deadly hostilities between Israel and Palestinians.
Atwin had said she stood with Palestine and maintained there were no two sides to this conflict, only human rights abuses by Israel, which she accused of pursuing a policy of apartheid.
