The Greens just moved a motion to sanction Israel and to demonise a country fighting terrorist organisations on multiple fronts is a typically low act from a low political party. They have targeted Israel on a Jewish holy day, a solemn day of mourning when Jewish people commemorate our national tragedies including the destruction of the Jewish temples in Jerusalem by foreign powers. Of course, the Greens will be oblivious to the fact that they have sided with Israel’s oppressors on such a day because their cultural sensitivities do not extend to Jewish people. But our community will have noticed this latest attack and we draw strength from having overcome zealots and tyrants before and mark this day in the knowledge that we will do so again. We thank the Government and Opposition for joining to reject this stunt and to rightly isolate the extremists.
