Australia n universities must call in the police if necessary to deter mass anti-Israel protests, amid 'tsunami of anti-Semitism' across the West
“You have Jewish families right here in Melbourne and elsewhere feeling unsafe when they're just going about their daily lives.” “Obviously, students at university can't learn if they don't feel safe and what we're seeing right now - throughout the world is a failure of leadership there,” he said. Mr Keyak agreed there is a delicate balance between the American tenet of free speech and combatting anti-Semitism.
“Collectively blaming Jews everywhere for the actions of the Israeli government or any government for that matter, is not some sort of policy disagreement, or some sort of human rights issue.While in Melbourne late last week, Mr Keyak met with senior government figures and Members of Parliament including Deputy Opposition Leader David Southwick and Kew MP Jess Wilson.
