‘It’s rubbish!’: Tom Elliott clashes with pro-Palestinian activist over apartheid claims

Tom Elliott has clashed with the president of Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, Nasser Mashni, over his claims Iran allows Israeli people to live freely.

The Mornings host claims the activist undermined his argument Palestinians are being subjected to an apartheid under Israel rule.

“It’s rubbish and you know it!” he said.

Press PLAY to hear the interaction

Mr Mashni says he’s sorry to the Melburnians “inconvenienced” yesterday, but a message needs to be sent to politicians.

“They’re not representing the people that have marched for 23 consecutive weeks, that have signed hundreds of thousands of petitions that keep calling on our government,” he said.
