Education Minister faces calls for ‘more political courage’ as ‘hatred of Jews’ unfolds

Former Howard government minister Peter McGauran has called for “more political courage” from Education Minister Jason Clare as “the hatred of Jews" is being pronounced on campuses during pro-Palestine protests. Mr McGauran acknowledged the “horrific tragedy unfolding in Gaza” and agreed on the students’ right to protest. “So by all means, set up the camps, wave the signs,” he told Sky News Australia. “But that is not what most of these demonstrations are. “These are chanting intifada – they are chanting from the river to the sea.”
