The Prime Minister is being urged to sack his Education Minister as another Labor frontbencher is pilloried for “not being truthful” after her description of the anti-Israel slogan ‘from the river to the sea’.
Another Labor minister has come under fire after Education Minister Jason Clare was directly referred to by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday for not promoting"social cohesion".
The Education Minister refused to condemn the statement and said it was open to interpretation during a press conference in Sydney. Speaking with Sky News host Andrew Bolt on Monday evening, Shadow education minister Sarah Henderson said Mr Clare had “implicitly endorsed” the use of a anti-Jewish slogan by claiming the phrase “from the river to the sea”, which Jewish people and Hamas terrorists perceive as a call to wipe Israel from the map, meant different things to different people.
Ms Henderson said the Prime Minister would not accept the"ducking and weaving" seen from Mr Clare around the severity of the anti-Israel slogans being bandied around university campuses in recent weeks. “Well, you know, it’s all in the interpretation. I'm not really 100 per cent familiar with that term. It could mean that we live harmoniously,” she said.“What we need to focus on is to make sure that there's no place for antisemitism, there's no place for Islamophobia, and we need to be getting assistance to the people who need it right now.”
The Facebook post read: “Club members kicked off a great day of activism with a door knock for Ged Kearney in Cooper before marching in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle against Israeli apartheid”.“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
