The reason for the sit in (not an attack) was this professor is the exchange director for a "Israeli university" built on occupied Palestinian land...

The rally was mentioned by the lecturer responsible for overseeing the exchange program, Professor Steven Prawer, in the senate inquiry into antisemitism on Australian universities.

Shamefully, he tried to brand the rally as antisemitic in an attempt at deflecting criticism from his complicity in Israel’s actions.
