The motions supported the right of Palestinian “armed resistance.”
During the debate on the first motion, an amendment was moved calling on the SRC to condemn the attack by Hamas on October 7 as members of the crowd started booing.
During the debate on the second motion, a speaker rejected the use of the term terrorism to define armed resistance and was met with cheers from the crowd.
The proposers of the second motion moved a procedural motion to ensure that no one was able to speak against it.
When Jewish students voted against the motion they were met with boos and yells of “racists.”
At no point in the debate were Jewish students able to or given the opportunity to speak against the motion on armed resistance.
Independent MP for Wentworth Allegra Spender said: “People in our community were horrified by last night’s student motion at Sydney University, and I was appalled to see young Jewish students treated with disrespect when they explained the facts about Hamas.
There are democratic Muslim states like Indonesia (the largest Muslim state in the world) and Malaysia for example.
The morons don’t realise that if the Muslim majority gains hold, democracy is going out the window. The gay, women and any thinking person couldn’t possibly support such a resolution to the current crisis.
