I thank the Speaker for that assistance. In the last few months, I have stood in the shadow of the main gate at the Auschwitz death camp, I have stood on the field where a music festival in Israel was turned into a bloodbath and I have stood in the ruins of a burnt out synagogue in my own home. But those opposite have taken every opportunity since 7 October 2023 to politicise the trauma and the experiences of the Jewish people.
I do not need the Leader of the Opposition or any of those opposite to tell me what antisemitism is or how seriously I should take it. You are disgusting.
