Today's Melbourne Age reveals that 30 years ago Palestinian Terrorists plotted the assassination of Bob Hawke for his pre-Israel sympathies Terrorists plotted Hawke assassination: ASIO.
In the mid '70's ASIO identified Palestinian terrorists planning to kill the then ACTU leader Hawke, the Israeli ambassador and prominent Jewish figures including Isi Leibler and Sam Lipski.
ASIO also said there was "evidence that Palestinian terrorists had a continuing operational interest in Australia and a small number of individuals in the local Palestinian-Arab community might be prepared to provide auxiliary support for a terrorist attack."
Anyone who might have witnessed recent anti-Israel demonstrations, with their attendant anti-Jewish hatred and Nazi symbolism, would be left in no doubt that the threat has not subsided over the past thirty years.
