Masked protesters storm, occupy office of Melbourne Uni Jewish professor
2024-10-13
[Jpost] The group posted pictures and videos to their Instagram in which they can be seen taking over the office of Professor Steven Prawer, and staging a sit-in.

Masked pro-Paleostine protesters wearing keffiyehs took over the office of Steven Prawer, a Jewish professor at the University of Melbourne (UMelb), Australia, on Wednesday, in an alleged protest over his academic connection to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The group, University of Melbourne for Paleostine, posted multiple pictures and videos to their Instagram in which they can be seen invading the professor’s office and staging a sit-in. They can also be seen chanting and covering the door of his office in pro-Paleostine stickers and signs.

One sticker said "antisemitism is a crime, anti-Zionism is a duty," and the two signs read "Steven Prawer, your work will break your soul before it breaks the resistance" and "From the river to the sea, Paleostine will be free."

The group said that they discovered pro-Israel memorabilia in Prawer’s office, including a picture of a sticker for Tel Aviv University with the world Shalom [peace] on it.

In another video, a woman wearing a keffiyeh and a mask interrogates Prawer as he talks to the police outside the office. When he attempts to walk away, the woman follows him and continues to ask questions about Israel’s genocide of the Paleostinian people.

Prawer, an engineering professor and head of the UMelb Materials Institute, is the academic lead of the Jerusalem-Melbourne Joint PhD program.

This, according to the protesters, was the reason for their actions. In a poster stuck on the wall of Prawer’s office, the group wrote, "Prawer spearheads a number of research projects in collaboration with Israeli research institutes, academics, and universities, such as a recent project with the Israeli Center of Advanced Diamond Technology."

The protest was allegedly part of the group’s efforts to make the University cut its academic ties with Israeli universities, as seen in another poster.

"It is imperative that the University of Melbourne acknowledge and utilize its privilege as a settler entity to support colonized peoples and end their complicity in the Israeli colonial project and ongoing genocide of Paleostinians," the group stated.

#1  Muslim Brotherhood in Melbourne at Islamic Council of Victoria

Australia's most beloved TV muslim Waleed Aly on ICV board for years. He stars on The Project, ch10. He is Muslim Brotherhood aligned, propagandises their narrative, runs cover after Islamist attacks,

Waleed’s wife Susan Carland works with Mariam Veiszadeh at Islamophobia Register Australia running Muslim Brotherhood propaganda through academic reports counting self-reported stories told to their facebook page (full of lies) that they get their friends to “peer review”

These reports are used to lobby parliament and media for favourable coverage of muslims

They make Islamophobia the topic of public media discourse after every jihad attack so that islam wins as it shifts blame the from the islamist perpetrator to the victim society.

This is muslim brotherhood tactic popularised by Tariq Ramadan

On the board of IRA is the CEO of PsychCentral, a chain of psychology clinics started by Hanan Dover, an Islamist who wants the sharia and runs cover for jihadis after they shoot people by saying they are just mentally ill - like numan haider

She is so bad the AFP (federal police) blocked her from access to one jihadi teen on the grounds that she is not neutral

That is Islamophobia Register Australia

That is in Melbourne and Sydney

The Islamic Council of Victoria is so well connected with media these students know they will be praised for their actions instead of vilified as Hamas supporting racists

Now you see why i am bleating on about the Muslim Brotherhood??

Do you see what is happening here?? Only these aholes get their voice in the media and Islam is redacted from the conversation because of their persistent and funded and structured lobbying for 20 years
