Family First strongly condemns Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong for their abandonment of Israel.

By supporting UN resolutions that undermine Israel’s sovereignty and promote a Palestinian state run by anti-Semitic terrorist supporters, Labor is not just turning its back on a key ally — it is inviting terrorism and fuelling anti-Semitic violence here in Australia.

The shocking arson attack on Melbourne’s Adass Israel Synagogue this morning tragically underscores the consequences of such misguided policies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Australia’s shift would “invite more terrorism” and “anti-Semitic riots” in Western cities, including Australia.

His words have proven devastatingly prophetic.

This deliberate attack on a place of worship is a stark reminder of the dangers of emboldening extremist ideologies.

As Cameron Stewart pointed out in The Australian, the Palestinian Authority is wholly incapable of governing a state, describing it as “corrupt and anti-Israeli.”

Its longstanding practice of paying salaries to terrorists and embracing atrocities like the October 7 massacres disqualifies it as a credible partner for peace.

This should be obvious to Albanese and Wong.

Netanyahu’s office rightly criticised the Albanese government’s actions as a “reward for terrorism.”

The Prime Minister’s willingness to appease globalist forces at the UN and extremist Imams in Western Sydney comes at the expense of Australia’s Jewish community and broader societal harmony.

Family First unequivocally condemns Labor’s complicity in normalising anti-Semitism and compromising national security.

Jewish organisations have warned of escalating Jew-hatred on Australian streets. The Melbourne synagogue attack confirms these fears. As Zionist Federation President Jeremy Leibler stated, “This violent attack is a direct consequence of words turning into actions.” The Albanese government’s support for resolutions targeting Israel sends a dangerous message to anti-Semitic actors: violence pays.

Family First calls on the Albanese government to reverse its dangerous foreign policy course immediately.

Strengthening ties with Israel and condemning terrorism at all levels must be non-negotiable.

Netanyahu’s words resonate powerfully: supporting the Palestinian Authority with statehood “invites more terrorism” and endangers lives.

That seems to have played out in an apparent act of vile Anti-Semitism on the streets of Melbourne today.
