Israel hatred a ‘reflex’ among leftists opposed to Judeo-Christian values

Hatred of Israel seems to be a “reflex” among hard leftists because western civilisation has its foundations there, according to Australian Jewish Association President David Adler. Pro-Palestine rallies have been held around the world after the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas launched attacks on Israel on October 7. “Something quite deep is happening here and we see it on the hard left of the politics,” Mr Adler told Sky News host Cory Bernardi. “If you’ve been sold on the notion that western civilisation, western democracy is wrong; if you lean towards socialism or communism then perhaps even unconsciously you are opposing Judeo-Christian values. “Of course, where did the Judeo-Christian values begin? It began in the land of Israel – both the Judeo and the Christian side.”
