In reply to Liat Kirby-Nagar. Haman thought that he was on a winning streak, too.

Peter Hindrup,
A Zionist simply believes in the rights of Jews to their own homeland, which goes back ancestrally long before the word Palestine came into being. Palestine (Palestina) is merely a nomenclature imposed by the Romans after their invasion, and only a couple of thousand years old. Arab people were not particularly concerned about the title Palestinian until after 1967, did not relate to it. There has never been a country called Palestine. Read your history.

You apparently are unaware of that university’s ethos if you are surprised.
No money and no bequests should be given to such people.

In reply to Peter Hindrup.

The myth of “Palestinian land” is propagated by those who hate Jews and want them to remain helpless minorities everywhere.
It was none other than the doyen of Arab history, Professor Phillip Hitti, who stated, ” There is no such thing in Arab history as ‘Palestine; absolutely none.”
Formerly it was ” You murdered Jesus;” ” you poisoned the wells;” You murdered Christians for their blood.”
Today it’s ” You stole ‘palestinian’ land.”
How appropriate that the anti-Jewish poster made the comment on Purim.

So easy for some to make wild statements about Zionist lobby without any evidence. Do they ever think that if the lobby was that strong then no-one would have ever heard about BDS from the media.

‘By denying the identity and right of self-determination of the Jewish people he promotes anti-Jewish racism. His views are repugnant to the inclusive and respectful values that underpin contemporary multicultural Australia, and an insult to fair-minded people everywhere.”’

If only such respect was granted to the Palestinians! Do as you would be done by, comes to mind.

‘“As usual, they blame “the Zionists”, which is a code word for Jews,’

‘Zionist’ is not a code word for anything. Simply a label for those who believe that Jews had a right to Palestinian land. Anyone of any persuasion, whether or not they believed in some mythical all powerful being.

I am shocked how Sydney Uni can allow these comments to appear… Those comments that are clearly anti-Semitic should be removed immediately, and furthermore, their authors should be named and prosecuted within the laws. In these dangerous times words can kill, and if we don’t stop them at their roots they can spread beyond our ability to stop it….
