‘Unacceptable’: Sharri Markson blasts USyd over defence of ‘intifada’ chants
Explosive documents reveal the University of Sydney views chants of intifada as “perfectly acceptable” and are not hate-speech, according to Sky News host Sharri Markson.
“However, the University does not accept that every use of the word can reasonably be interpreted in this way, and in the context of current pro-Palestine protests, use of the word is more appropriately viewed as an expression of a political stance in connection with pro-Palestinian activism as opposed to being a statement in support of terrorist acts.”
Sky News host Sharri Markson said the statement showcased the university at its “woke finest” as she accused it of “cowing down” to racism and terrorism.“Trying to find excuses for chants of intifada. Trying to find excuses for calls for terrorism. This is unacceptable. “You’re showing us the absolute worst bureaucratic lunacy to try and twist this word into one that’s non-offensive and perfectly acceptable.
“Muscle up, fix this antisemitism that’s exploding at the University of Sydney, or resign and go home.”
