All of this support for Israel (plus a couple other things, but mainly this) are the reason why the Labor Party is cooked.
It is cooked, too. It can’t react to Hanson, it’s like a passenger jet trying to outmanoeuvre a fighter jet.
Worse still, because the groups attached to Hanson are all anti-Semites (not anti Zionists) they are promoting opposition to Australia’s Israel issue and are co opting it.
The Labor Party can blame itself for it as well. Kicking around our most disadvantaged at the same time has just made it worse.
That byelection result in WA is a bellwether for how the country feels. Shame most of us are too prejudiced, too ego driven or too peer pressured to put the vote where it should go.
