Imagine if the Palestinians had this much representation.... these people are scared of their own shadows

Prawer said he still didn’t know the identity of the protesters, despite hiring a private investigator as he feared “Hamas connections”.

That's not creepy and ridiculous at all. smh

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.

It seems like the professor is saying that because he imagined they could be terrorists, that constitutes some sort of antisemitism? Or is it that because he was not protected from the non-terrorists because they could have been terrorists, then that constitutes antisemitism?

That just sounds like the antisemitism is entirely in his head?

If he was terrorised it's terrorism

Why is this group of people protected from any criticism all over the world? It's absolutely insane
