The amusing thing is that Prof Riemers parents are holocaust survivors, Hungarian Jews who pretend to be someone else

Are activist academics able to maintain objectivity? Be interesting to how a paper critical of BDS campaign would be marked.

In reply to Liat Kirby. Any student who is contemplating studies that would involve any of these "academics" would be well advised to seek knowledge and skills at a university that upholds enlightened academic values. Such a student can well imagine the effect on his grades if he/she ever indicated, even subtly, his/her support for Israel.

Any degree or diploma that is achieved by students of these “academics” would have as much value as qualifications achieved in 1942 at a German university; or at a Soviet university.
What a laughing stock…and at a ‘university” of an otherwise sane, enlightened society.

…
The amusing part is what could these intellectually bereft imbeciles have worth sharing with the Israelis? It’s the opposite way around.

Hamas’ plan is simple – attack Israel using human shields and get the media to demonize the Jewish state when Arabs are killed in the crossfire.

The world is falling for it.

ATTENTION ALL ARAB NATIONS

If you really believe Jews are weak then stop using Arab refugees to do your dirty work

And these academics signing the BDS Pledge are supposed to be thinkers – History, Political Economy, Sociology, English and Linguistics, Writing … to what purpose one wonders have all these studies shaped and developed their devotees?! Certainly not to higher realms of reflection and dispassion to allow for the possibility of truths they may not like, but with a more pure scholarly approach would finally admit to. That’s what universities used to be about, passionate inquiry towards dispassionate truth. That was their founding aim. I see good old Jake Lynch of the absurdly inappropriately named Peace and Conflict Studies department is at it again, too. What a scourge on Sydney University they are.

Every single one of them should view Mosab Hassan Yousef in ‘The Green Prince’ relating the realities of the region or read his book ‘Son of Hamas’. He grew up in Gaza, his father a founding member of Hamas. He knows a little bit about it and his views and perceptions are directly opposite to those of these fashionably obsessive Sydney University academics. I would wager that not one of them have ever set foot in Israel or Gaza. Nor would they want to. They’re happy little anti-Semites, practising their poisonous trade from the lofty comfort of an Australian university, feeling self-important while they do so.

Now all these anti semites have one thing in common is it they are all on the far Right or far Left ?
