Shadow Minister for Education Sarah Henderson has called on the Prime Minister to sack Labor\u2019s hapless education minister, Jason Clare, unless he is prepared to show leadership and ban hate speech on university campuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This includes the use of anti-Jewish terrorist slogans and chants such as \u2018intifada\u2019 which constitute blatant antisemitism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJason Clare\u2019s trainwreck press conference when he claimed \u2018intifada\u2019 and \u2018from the river to the sea\u2019 \u201cmean different things to different people\u201d shows an appalling failure of leadership,\u201d Senator Henderson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn defending the use of slogans and chants which call for terrorist violence against Israel and the destruction of the Israeli state, Jason Clare is implicitly green lighting anti-Jewish hate speech on university campuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFollowing Jason Clare\u2019s failure to directly condemn an activist academic who encouraged children to chant \u2018intifada\u2019, it is no wonder the Prime Minister has openly rebuked his education minister today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJason Clare must ban hate speech on campuses to protect the safety of all university students and staff, or he must resign,\u201d Senator Henderson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This morning in Sydney, Senator Henderson convened a second round table of Jewish university students, staff and community leaders who shared horror stories at university campuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone at an Australian university has a right to be safe,\u201d Senator Henderson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis morning, students and academics shared terrible stories of intimidation, harassment, and threats to their safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe failure to protect Jewish students and staff on campus, including by shutting down encampments, is particularly bad at the University of Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUSyd\u2019s failure to uphold codes of conduct and shut down the encampment has emboldened the activists, fuelling harassment and intimidation of Jewish and non-Jewish students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
