In reply to Paul Norton. How confronting! A Palestinian who did not tow the party line.

When I visited the temples of Khajuraho, India and saw the erotic carvings there,I was surprised how small they were and it occurred to me that the British ladies with the vapors over the statues had to get up really close and peer at them to be offended.
At the entrance to the Kemp lecture at Sydney University which was similarly disrupted earlier this year I asked a pamphleteer at the entrance to the lecture: why don’t you boycott this lecture?
Same question for the far left: why don’t they boycott the campus conferences and lectures they find so irritating? I will not be offended if they don’t make an appearance.

The Honi Soit (Sydney University student newspaper) blog on the NUS conference basically confirms this report, although its main emphasis was on Socialist Alternative silencing Palestinian students who didn’t agree with them.

Overt racism? Blatant anti-Semitism, and there’s no mistake about that. These actions had nothing to do with these p..cks supporting Palestinians: it was an example of the far-left fascists hate of Jews. It’s in their bloody genes.
