"Netanyahu said - antisemitism spreads when leaders stay silent. "Nothing to do with Isreal committing genocide in Palestine then. Netanyahu wants antisemitism to be a thing, it validates him - he acts to make it so.""
"Mr Vince said he had not intended to "excuse or legitimise terrorism, or any form of racism", adding that "what happened at Bondi beach is an atrocity"."
"Wes Streeting called the comments "completely wrong"."
Health Secretary Wes Streeting condemned comments by Labour donor Dale Vince after a shooting at a Jewish festival in Australia. Vince posted that "Netanyahu wants antisemitism to be a thing, it validates him", prompting Conservatives to call the remarks "morally repugnant" and urge Labour to return his donations. Vince has given more than 5.7m to Labour since 2020, mainly via his company Ecotricity, which last donated to Labour during Lucy Powell's deputy leadership campaign. Vince later said he did not intend to excuse terrorism or racism and described the Bondi attack as "an atrocity". Streeting said the comments were "completely wrong" but did not say whether Labour should accept future donations.
