Greens are a threat to Australia’s bipartisan tolerance
To have a political party standing side by side with protestors who call for the elimination of the Jewish state “from the river to the sea” is intolerable.
US President Joe Biden said last year that history teaches us that hate never goes away. That most ancient of hatreds, antisemitism, has reared its ugly head recently in Australia, and the Australian Greens are fanning the flames to try to win seats from Labor.
Tragically, this is undoing the tolerance, pluralism and egalitarianism developed over decades by farsighted Australian leaders across the political spectrum.
