‘Very anti-Israel’: Labor under pressure over UN Palestine vote

Former Labor MP Michael Danby highlights the anti-Israel side of the Labor government ahead of the UN vote on Palestine. Labor is facing pressure to vote down a resolution which would admit Palestine as a full member of the United Nations. “It’s genuflection to the dominant socialist left element in the government,” Mr Danby told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “You’ll never hear that political analysis that this Labor government is different from previous Labor governments on the ABC, you’ll only hear it on Sky unfortunately. “That’s the really serious shift in Australian policy, whether it’s on the environment, or industry, or industrial relations, but particularly in foreign policy. “The New South Wales right are very anti-Israel, and pro-China.”
