Israel Blasts Labor’s ‘One Sided’ Policy Platform as Palestinian Advocates Push Further The Israeli embassy in Canberra has labeled Labor's draft national platform as "one sided" against Israel, despite efforts to water down criticism of the Jewish state's actions in the West Bank.
This reaction is not surprising, given the platform's explicit condemnation of settler violence and a new death penalty law that expands capital punishment for terror offenses.
The embassy's stance reflects Israel's broader diplomatic strategy: dismissing critics as one sided and biased against the Jewish state rather than engaging with their arguments on merit.
