Statement from Michele Goldman, Chief Executive of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies

  • The comments captured in this video make plain what we already knew, activists are working hard to make Jews uncomfortable on campus.
  • That anyone thinks saying this out loud is acceptable demonstrates how big the problem is on our university campuses.
  • Calls for one group of Australians to target another undermine social cohesion and attack the Australian values we all hold dear.
  • Jewish students and staff have a right to study and work without being harassed and targeted.
  • We have sought urgent advice from UTS about why this hate is being allowed to be preached on campus.
  • We’ve seen some recent progress on university campuses, but this shows just how much further this needs to go.
  • Jewish students and staff have been living with this kind of hatred for months, they are exhausted.
