Israel Independence Day
James NEWBURY (Brighton) (12:51): At the Israel Independence Day celebration last night, the Premier said:
I do believe that young Australians are in danger of permanently judging the nation of Israel and the people of Israel by the actions of its government.
Israel is the Jewish homeland. The Premier’s statement was ignorant, reflected on Jews and was borderline antisemitic.
