  • Australia Israel and Jewish Affairs Council Colin Rubenstein says the Albanese government "cannot claim no responsibility" for the rise in antisemitism.

The article from MSN discusses the Albanese government's perceived shift in policy towards Israel, suggesting a tilt against the nation. It highlights several points of contention: the government's decision to abstain from a UN vote condemning Israeli settlements, the appointment of a special adviser on Islamophobia, and the perceived lack of support for Israel in international forums. Critics argue that these actions signal a departure from Australia's traditionally balanced approach in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, potentially influenced by domestic political considerations and a desire to appeal to certain voter demographics. The piece also notes the frustration among some Australian Jewish community members and pro-Israel advocates who feel that the government's actions do not adequately recognize Israel's security concerns or its right to defend itself.
