Gillard is leading an Australian delegation to Israel. As expected, she has been under fire from the looney left of the ALP for even daring to step foot in Israel. Regardless of the typically ALP sympathetic media coverage attempting to portray Gillard as mainstream (the same people that tried to argue that she was an economic conservative before the last election), her true inner feelings are not too far removed from the ALP left, as reveled by her speech to the Australian Israel Leadership Forum. This is what Gillard had to say about Iran, remembering that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said on a number of occasions that Israel should be wiped off the map and at the same time is developing the nuclear weapons to do it:

The events taking place in Iran are a source of worry for us all and a symbol of wider uncertainty about the future of this region.

The events Gillard is referring to is the current political instability in Iran due to recent elections. Not nukes, or Israel’s threatened destruction. At no point does she mention Israel’s strategic security problems. Overall, her comments about Iran are sufficiently vague to render themselves almost meaningless. Gillard then starts to list all of the main challenges facing Israel. And guess which challenge threatens the very survivial of Israel? A nuke trigger happy Ahmadinejad? No:

A world where carbon pollution threatens our viability as nations.

That’s right. So according to Gillard’s speech, human carbon emissions are a greater threat to Israel’s survival than the threat of nuclear weapons in the hands of a man who thinks he has been called by Allah to destroy Israel. Gillard is front and center part of the ALP looney left.
