‘Shameful’: Liberal MP condemns ‘disturbing’ student protest for Palestine

Liberal MP Julian Leeser has condemned a pro-Palestine student protest in Melbourne with thousands of students waking out of class on Thursday as part of the school strike. Students flocked to Melbourne’s Flinders Street Station, where they rallied to “free Palestine” and blocked traffic before marching up Swanston Street. “I think it raises two very important questions, firstly why are school children attending a protest on a school day … but the second thing that’s more disturbing is that school children are being taught that Israel has no right to exist,” Mr Leeser told Sky News host told Chris Kenny. “They're being taught that the two-state solution is a bad idea because that is the effect of saying from the river to the sea it means that Israel should be wiped off the face of the map. “That’s not something I think Australian school children should learning, I don’t think it's something that they should be embracing. “I think that school children should be taught to embrace the only democracy in the Middle East and state of Israel, the only democracy that provides and respects human rights, the rights of women, the rights of religious minorities, the rights of LGBTI people. “I think it’s shameful that they're chanting such slogans on the streets of our cities.”
