There was a story published yesterday in The Australian where a group of teachers say they'll be using Anzac commemorations to push the Palestinian cause, highlighting the brutality of the Anzac troops against the Palestinians back in the day.
I am so sick of this Palestinian stuff seeping into everything in society. It is consuming everything the left touch these days.
Nothing is off limits, not even Anzac Day.
Why won't the government condemn these teachers?

An Australian teacher group’s denunciation of Anzac Day has been labelled an “insidious” attack on national identity over Australia’s historical role in the oppression of Palestinian people.
A group called “Teachers and School Staff for Palestine in Victoria” has urged the community to stop glorifying the past and present actions of the Australian military on the national day of remembrance, which takes place annually on April 25.
The group created a comprehensive report outlining alleged injustices against Palestinians by the ANZAC Corps, during World War I, that they claim are often overlooked in historical accounts and seldom taught in schools.

Shadow minister for home affairs James Paterson criticised the act of questioning the legitimacy of a significant day for most Australians, calling it “insidious”.
“On one hand, this is offensive, ahistorical nonsense … but on the other, it’s a deeply dangerous attempt to dismantle one of the last unifying symbols of nationhood in Australia, long after people have trashed our flag, trashed our constitution, trashed our anthem, and Australia Day as well,” Mr Paterson told Sky News.
