Subhead:Their mental gymnastics were on full display as they desperately rationalised an attack on an innocent jobseeker.#

I was on the scene at the Garden of Eden nursery in Melbourne, where protesters gathered after co-owner Brett Dahan sent a shocking text message to a 24-year-old Israeli woman who’d simply applied for a job.
She’s been in Australia for less than a month and told media she was “shocked” when she received his reply. When I read the message myself, I couldn’t believe how brazen it was.
Dahan wrote that the job had gone to “someone with a semblance of humanity and who cares about plants, animals and the environment.” He then told her he hoped she’d leave Melbourne “soon,” and finished with: “Free Palestine and end genocide NOW. You’re complicit in IT.”
