An ALP senator from WA advocating the wiping out of Jews in the Middle East:
Labor senator Fatima Payman has broken ranks with the Albanese government on Israel, accusing the Jewish state of carrying out a “genocide” in the Gaza Strip in a defiant address that she closed by repeating the controversial “from the river to the sea” chant.
Senator Payman criticised Anthony Albanese and her Labor colleagues for failing to condemn Israel and “stand up for what is right”, accusing her government’s leaders of making “performative gestures” while defending the “oppressor’s right to oppress”.
The West Australian first-term senator’s remarks contradicted the Prime Minister’s rejection of the pro-Palestine protest chant last week, when he tried to draw the line by stating that the slogan “calls for opposition to a two-state solution”.

Fatima Payman was born in Kabul, Afghanistan around 1995,[5][6] the eldest of four children, and fled the Taliban for Pakistan with her family when she was five years old.[1] Her father arrived in Australia via boat in 1999 and spent time in immigration detention, after which he worked as a security guard, kitchen hand and taxi driver, so he could afford to sponsor the migration of his wife and four children.
