Media release: the massive public response to @jkeaneSDN and my crowdfunding appeal, for which we are enormously grateful, shows that people reject the Israel lobby’s slur that support for Palestine is antisemitic. We will never allow Zionists to bully us into silence.

The case against Nick Riemer and John Keane is an attack on the basic right to publicly criticise Israel in Australia. Please chip in to help them beat off this baseless suit and score a landmark win for political freedoms in Australia.

Yesterday afternoon the University issued a statement on the removal of my Palestinian flag. The link to that is here: I just posted a response to it on our internal social media site.

This isn't just about me and my flag though. After mine came down, yesterday afternoon three flags more went up on campus. The simple fact is we need more public opposition to stop Israel and its enablers. Anyone who can should get hold of a Palestinian flag and fly it proudly.

I spoke yesterday at a student speak-out in response to the flag coming down. Students are walking out of class today and I wish them the best.

Well, my flag was removed. Thousands of malnourished children on the brink of death, Israel escalating the genocide, and the University of Sydney's priority is ensuring that that there are no visible signs of support for the Palestinians on campus.

Today, first day of semester, is also the deadline I was given to remove a Palestinian flag from my office window. Obviously I won’t be doing that. I wrote to the VC and dean about it last night.

Rally is way too big to know what is going on or hear anything. Always a good sign
