WA Bar sides with Julian Burnside over controversial tweet Share
The Western Australian Bar Association has strongly condemned the conduct of senator Sarah Henderson who called for Julian Burnside’s Queen’s counsel to be stripped after the prominent barrister likened Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians to Nazi Germany in a controversial and now-deleted tweet.
In reference to a report into violations of international law during 11 days of fighting between Israel and Hamas militants, Julian Burnside tweeted that Israel’s “treatment of the Palestinians looks horribly like the German treatment of the Jews”, sparking frustrations and severe backlash from several leading Jewish figures.
