Anti-Israel protesters run riot at Sydney uni

A lecture by retired army colonel Richard Kemp at the University of Sydney was disrupted by at least a dozen screaming students who fought with security on Wednesday afternoon.

The students had burst into the room shouting “Richard Kemp, you can’t hide, you support genocide” and wrestled with security guards before being removed from the hall.

Kemp was giving a lecture about ethical dilemmas of military tactics and dealing with non-state armed groups.

Nothing to see really, just more violence from Anti-Israeli BDSers.

1. The students exercising their free speech rights happen to be correct. "Run riot"? Not at all.

Why is any criticism of Israeli political policy "anti-Israel"? Maybe you meant to say anti something else?

8. Well, Fred... Mosby also didn't know the Daily Caller is a right-wing rag owned by Fucker Carlson

I think Mosby posts stories by way of automatic writing, 'cause he never actually seems aware of the sources or contents.

Which is honestly kind of cool, if i'm right in my guess.

9. Psychographic writing? Is there no end to the superstitious belief cults in America?

Are super secret acronyms a product of this blessed state of pseudo-psycho writing?

I didn't know speech was violence, Mosby. You have to be pretty touched in the head to watch the video and claim it's the protestors being violent.

6. The message of the article is clear. Israeli political policy critics will oft be met with anti-something labels.

You get used to it, fairly transparent when it happens.

Those damned violent protesting students! They're everywhere! If only our RW govt hadn't slashed the ABC's budget or they could have hired a few of the security guards from the Uni of Sydney...




And then they screamed their way to Melbourne and got all violent there!



I'm sure there's an article or two around from Andrew Bolt or one of his conservative stable mates complaining about how violent and shrieking and disruptive those students are.


Nothing to see really, just more violence from Anti-Budget Tony Abbott haters, right?
