Leader: Jewish student society alienated by Monash association’s anti-Israel stance
Matthew Lesh August 15, 2014 Leader
The Australian Union of Jewish Students political affairs director Matthew Lesh said the motion did nothing to understand or solve the complex social, political and military situation of an ongoing conflict.
“The basis of the motion are a series of wholly false and unverified claims,” he said.
“The simple reality is that Israel has a right to defend itself against Hamas, a terrorist organisation that has consistently targeted Israeli civilians and used human shields,” Mr Lesh said.
