My letter to The Australian, that they probably won't publish.
Somehow, Bob Carr was bitten by the anti-Semitism bug which has a strange hold over otherwise rational people.
"Peter Baldwin does a good impersonation of an old-fashioned
anti-Semite in his defence of Bob Carr (Letters 24/12) His list of
issues ignores the refusal by Palestinians to accept Israel’s right to
exist. His reference to “illegal occupation” is a matter of Legal
debate, and either refers to suburbs of Jerusalem that Israel regards
as its undivided capital, to half of which the Palestinians have no
historical claim and have other potential capitals, or it refers to the
very existence of Israel that is expected to eventually vanish by the
generations of refugees who are waiting to return instead of resettling
elsewhere, such as in Greater Gaza in Sanai. "
