Muslims attack Jews at University of Melbourne

Muslims are increasingly out of control, free to spew their religiously mandated Jew-hatred, racism and supremacism against non-Muslims. What is being done to stop this? What has to happen to spur meaningful defensive measures?

An article in the Australian Jewish News (27 May 2011) – Uni Party Turns Ugly by Naomi Levin, caught my eye:

A police report has been filed following an allegedly violent incident during the Australasian Union of Jewish Students’ (AUJS) Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel Independence Day) celebrations. 

The lunchtime party, held on University of Melbourne grounds, turned ugly when an individual used wirecutters to vandalise a stereo playing Israeli music. He is then alleged to have struck an AUJS member, injuring him with the wirecutters.

Both police and security were present at the event and two individuals were reportedly removed from the scene.

… the AUJS event consisted of music and dancing on the university lawns and could not have been misconstrued as a political rally.

AUJS leaders and Jewish Community Council of Victoria (JCCV) president John Searle have called on the police to lay charges relating to the individual’s alleged possession of a weapon, vandalism and assault.

The University of Melbourne counter-rally was organized by two groups – Students for Palestine, and the Federation of Australian Muslim Students and Youth (FAMSY). A flyer posted across Melbourne encouraged students to “rally against Zionists’ apartheid celebrations.”

AUJS, which is affiliated with the Student Union, had permission to hold its event. A student union representative confirmed that neither Students for Palestine nor FAMSY are affiliates of the university.

According to Lazarus, AUJS will request answers as to how the counter-rally was permitted at all. He said the Jewish student group had always had a good relationship with security representatives on campus and was disappointed the situation got out of hand. “We think we took all the right precautions.” Searle agreed and said he would not be encouraging AUJS to lie low in the future.
“What AUJS was doing was a quiet, peaceful celebration. They ought not to feel scared to express their passion for being Jewish and being Zionist.”

Odd, but I could not find this reported by any other media outlet.

Is it because attacks on Jews are unimportant? Or was the reluctance to report it because it puts Muslims in a bad light? Whatever the reason, both the incident itself and the reluctance to mention it, are concerning.

Generally the Jewish leadership has ignored the vitriolic and racist BDS and Israel Apartheid movements, arguing that reacting would simply “give them oxygen”. So it was refreshing to hear Searle saying he would not encourage AUJS to lie low in future.

In a free and democratic country, students should be able to celebrate their culture without harassment. The university must ensure this sort of incident does not happen again, and the police must press charges against the perpetrators.
