The time politicians spend wilfully misinterpreting those trying to unpack the causes of the appalling rise in anti-semitism would be better spent (better for those who care about their Jewish family and friends and colleagues) unpacking those causes. Because that's the only way to address them.
To smear Dale Vince the BBC deliberately omits the appalling Netanyahu comments he responded to: “Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on the antisemitic fire. It rewards Hamas terrorists. It emboldens those who menace Australian Jews and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets.”

When 70% of the economy depends on consumer spending, people need money to spend. It's as simple as that.
