It is shocking. The students of my day would not have stooped to the gross anti-semitism reported here, nor would senior members of staff have actively encouraged violent behavour - all on a very slender thread of accusing a retired officer of genocide. Student activist politics has fallen a long, long way since the Vietnam war.

And some of our fool senators don't want to cut funding for these out of control universities.

Dear Colonel KEMP CBE...

Sir I'm so utterly ashamed at the way some students and academic staff at Sydney University behaved and conducted themselves, both towards you personally, and to any members of the Jewish community that may have been in attendance, during your recent speech.

Accordingly Sir, please accept my profound apology for their inexcusable behaviour, and be assured not all academic staff or students at that eminent University (Australia's oldest) comport themselves in such a reprehensible or puerile manner.

I can only hope Sir, that any further speaking engagements that may form part of your itinerary during your Australian visit, have audiences that reflect both the normal social maturity and good manners that one might expect, without any further absurd, childlike intrusions, that you've regrettably witnessed during your recent visitation to Sydney ?

A measured and dignified letter in response to disgraceful behaviour. I wonder how the university will react?

Colonel Richard Kemp

As disgusting as the behaviour of these ferals were , one can't be surprised. Our educators and national broadcasters have been feeding anti semitism for decades. No doubt many were members of the Greens who oppose anything decent or normal. Yes we owe you an apology but the uni is more likely to support ride with me hashtags than take any action over this despicable behaviour. To many good people have been shut up over the years and now the socialist shout down anyone speaking truth.

<Associate Professor Jake Lynch, the Director of your Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, and Dr Nicholas Riemer, one of your senior lecturers, who were both apparently leading and encouraging the protesters, screamed at the security officers to desist.

At one point I observed Associate Professor Lynch waving money in the face of a Jewish student, a clearly aggressive and insulting act that seemed to invoke the stereotype of the 'greedy Jew'.>

Outrageous, irresponsible behaviour!

What disciplinary action does the university propose taking?
