Far from apologizing, however, Albanese doubled down. Referring to the biblical imperative Chikli had mentioned in his letter, she responded in a sneering tweet: "I wonder how the 3,000-year-old 'moral responsibility not to kill' can be reconciled with the thousands of Palestinians killed since 2007 in oPt ["Occupied Palestinian Territory]," citing figures that included terrorists killed during wars in Gaza since 2008.

In 2014, Albanese alleged that the "Jewish lobby" controls America, invoking a classic antisemitic trope.
