Brash condemns anti-Semitic vandalism
National Party leader Don Brash says National will back a Parliamentary motion today deploring the destructive attacks on Jewish graves and a Jewish chapel in Wellington.
"While I have commitments in Rotorua this afternoon, National Deputy Leader Gerry Brownlee will speak to the motion in Parliament," says Dr Brash.
"I deplore, in the strongest possible terms, these idiotic acts. The perpetrators deserve public condemnation as well as criminal prosecution. They have caused grief to the Jewish community and shocked all right-thinking New Zealanders.
"As well, they have badly damaged New Zealand's reputation overseas, where their mindless, stupid anti-Semitic actions have been widely reported," says Dr Brash.
