Former Labor MP Michael Danby joins Erin Molan to react after Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said she believes Gaza flotilla activists who claim they were sexually assaulted by Israeli forces during their failed mission to Gaza. In Episode 173 of The Erin Molan Show, Erin reveals an official response from Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, who strongly rejects the allegations, calling them "fabricated and baseless" and part of a propaganda campaign against Israel. Erin examines why comments from senior political leaders carry global consequences, the international fallout from the Gaza flotilla controversy, and the dangers of giving legitimacy to serious allegations before evidence is presented. Michael Danby, former Chairman of Australia's Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, then weighs in with a blistering assessment of Penny Wong's remarks, warning that such claims can spread around the world long before the facts are established.
