As The BFD reported recently, accused kidnappers and torturers Mohammad Sharab and Laura Allam are regulars at “pro-Palestine” protests in Melbourne. They’re also whooping it up, Brownshirt-style, on university campuses.
At Monash University in Melbourne, students filmed pro-Palestine activist Mohammad Sharab as he swore at Jewish students at the Clayton campus on Wednesday.
He’s far from the only slavering anti-Semite bellowing hate on campus.
Another visitor to the campus on Wednesday was activist Ihab al-Azhari, who was filmed telling pro-Palestinian protesters not to let the Jewish students past.
Mr Azhari, founder of the Sit-Intifada protest movement, was filmed on the steps of Victoria’s parliament on Monday declaring that “7 October is just the bloody beginning of it’’.
Hamas terrorists raided an Israeli music festival on October 7, killing and kidnapping 1200 civilians and triggering the five-month Gaza-Israeli war to free hostages.
“You are going to have plenty of 7 Octobers coming, plenty of it,’’ he was filmed saying on Monday.
And they’re behaving with all the decency and decorum we’ve come to expect from the Pallies and their useful idiots.
At the University of Queensland, police are investigating the alleged assault of two security guards since rival pro-Palestinian and pro-Jewish protesters pitched tents at opposite ends of the great court last week.
A woman was fined after reportedly urinating in the office of a Jewish academic.
“Investigations are ongoing into the alleged assault of two security guards by two men at the educational facility earlier this month,’’ a Queensland Police Service spokesperson said […]
Outside activists were present at both rival protest camps at UQ throughout the week, including stalls set up by the Revolutionary Communist Organisation and the Socialist Alternative group, which prevented students from speaking to journalists.

But, are they really “outside activists” and “blow-ins”?
Or are they the ringleaders and the organisers?
In the US, one regular face at “pro-Palestinian” campus protests is one Lisa Fithian. Fithian, 63, is not a student — she’s a professional protester. In 2012, Mother Jones reported that Fithian was trousering hundreds of dollars per day, training left-wing protesters. Fithian also trained activists for the so-called “Flotilla to Gaza”, and publicly endorses the anti-Semitic BDS movement.
According to the NYPD one-third of the people arrested at Columbia, and most of the people arrested at the CCNY, were not students.
The level of organisation — and scale of money — behind the campus pogroms is obvious. From the hand-made shields which take hours to make, and, as shown in Antifa protests in Portland in 2020, are made by volunteers working all day, to the rows and rows of identical tents, obviously bulk-purchased.
All the organisers needed was the useful idiots. Thanks to decades of indoctrination, they’ve got them in spades.
How can so many Australians have come to believe something that’s so clearly morally deranged? Especially given Australia’s long-term bipartisan support for Israel, best expressed in Bob Hawke’s immortal line: “If the bell tolls for Israel it tolls for all mankind”?
Essentially there are two factors at play: the first is the pervasive sentiment in favour of “victims” over “oppressors” that’s the result of a generation of culturally Marxist “decolonisation” in schools and universities. Because the Jewish people are “settlers” with “white privilege”, even though their ancestors have been in what some want to now call Palestine for about 4000 years, and even though many are ethnically hardly distinguishable from the local Arabs, almost any atrocity against them is simply getting even.
What is driving the sinister forces organising these protests, though, is an even darker current.
The other factor is the powerful sense among so many Muslims, despite living in secular democracies like ours, that everything should be seen through the prism of a faith that transcends any other loyalty and thus demands total submission to the will of Allah […]
To them, their duty to their fellow Muslims trumps any solidarity they might have with their fellow Australians who, in any event, as “kafir” (or unbelievers) are mostly mired in ignorance and sin. Hence their solidarity with Gaza and its people, regardless of Hamas’s crimes, and monomaniacal focus on this one issue.

Except, as we see throughout the Muslim world, this “solidarity” doesn’t extend to giving refuge to Palestinians. Neighbouring countries refuse to accept any more, and those already there have been refused citizenship for decades, forced instead to be permanent “refugees”.
No, the real cause of the monomaniacal obsession is as simple as it is ugly: they just hate Jews.
And they’ve inculcated a generation of sheep-like university students with their slavering hate.
