SR,

I can always rely on you to get it cocked up.

For starters, the SA rugby team represented their country which Avi Shavit was not. I also recall Aus being very keen on bringing in SA engineers and businessmen during this time.

This just reeks of your antisemitism and your party's unethical, unedifying and unconscionable behaviour.

Stop it.

Shadow Minister,

Why all this fuss?

Wasn't Avi Shavit invited by the University to speak and
didn't he do so? Just because a minority did not
attend his lecture - why do you continue to beat the
drum of anti-Semitism?

Foxy,

People are perfectly entitled to be bigots and not to attend the lecture because the lecturer is Jewish or black etc. However, when they broadcast their bigotry they become open to criticism.

The university's Marxist bigots and anti-Semites are certainly entilted to decline the invitation. What else would such people do. It is how their attitude affects their work with students - who gets a fair go, and who else do they discriminate against. Not to mention the senior academic mentioned who could make devistating decisions against students not cut from the same cloth as he is.

There is also their lack of interest in cyber security (the only reason for the prescence of the hated Jew), which might change now that somone has got into their emails and made them public.

Shadow Minister,

I am rather wary of Matthew Lesh, former political Director
of the Australasian Union of Jewish Students and what seems
more like a personal vendetta with an axe to grind. You
gave his article from the "Spectator" in your opening post,
but he also wrote articles on the same subject for the
Institute of Public Affairs and the Australian Jewish News,
to name just a few. That to me indicates that he's not looking
at things objectively. There does not appear to be a balance
in his reporting.

Anyway, I'm not buying it.

cont'd ...

Shadow Minister,

Please excuse my error - I should have said that ttbn
gave the article in "The Spectator" in his opening
post not you. My mistake. I'm a bit tired today.
