Sky News host Rowan Dean says a motion to add certain pro-Israel conditions to a Labor resolution to unilaterally recognise the state of Palestine will highlight any anti-Semitic sentiment within the party. At the Labor Party's national conference, a union delegate David Bliss will propose requirements to soften the proposed resolution by binding future Labor governments to certain conditions before officially recognising Palestine. The conditions include the requirement Palestinians hold free and fair elections and end the use of capital punishment, the systematic use of torture and arbitrary arrest and repression of political dissent. Mr Dean clarified he was “not accusing anyone in the Labor party of being anti-Semitic” but pointed out only someone with a “fanatical hatred of Israel” could possibly object to Mr Bliss’s motion. "In my opinion, only someone for whom a fanatical hatred of Israel and the Jews is embedded in their support for a Palestine state could possibly object to these conditions". “Watch this space carefully," he said.
