RIGHT WING Jewish leaders in Sydney have condescendingly “forgiven” the Labor MP Tanya Plibersek over comments she made over 10 years ago.
Plibersek called Israel a rogue state and said Ariel Sharon was a war criminal.
But now she has ditched this principled stance and has gone out of her way to placate the Jewish lobby.
And the lobby now says we will “forgive and forget”.
They have also welcomed Bill Shortens rise to the ALP leadership.

So apparently something has changed – Israel is no longer a rogue state that constantly abuses human rights? Is that right Tanya?
Or is this just the price you have to pay to be a frontbencher these days.
