We have been very clear and utterly unequivocal in our condemnation of antisemitism, of all prejudice. You have heard me here in this place and elsewhere, over and over again, talk about the need for unity, the need to ensure that the distress in our community does not become anger, does not become hatred and does not become violence. And I would welcome you making the same sorts of comments, Senator Chandler, because there are views in this chamber that are very different. There are people in this chamber who have very strong views about the Palestinian communities. There are people in this chamber who have very strong views about Jewish communities. But we all need to stand against division. (Time expired)
