One of Australia’s most prestigious universities is facing growing calls to expel two students who told ABC radio that terrorist group Hamas had their “unconditional support”.The organisers of a pro-Palestine protest encampment at the Australian National University are facing growing backlash from within their own university after telling an ABC radio host that Hamas “deserve unconditional support".
“Not because I agree with their strategy. Complete disagreements with that. But the situation at hand is if you have no hope, if you are sanctioned every day of your life, if you are told you are not allowed to drive down a road because somebody who is Israeli gets to have preference and you sit there for 12 hours, the reality of life in Palestine…”Tucker shot back that “nothing can justify what has been happening to the Palestinian people for 75 years”.
“Anyone expressing support for a listed terrorist organisation should not only face immediate expulsion from the university, they should face the law,” he told The Australian newspaper. “They want to bring about the same paralysis and division. It is intrinsic to their deeply anti-western ideology. Inside a popular university-wide Facebook group, a cross section of ANU students debated the stunning remarks by Tucker and Harrison, with many alarmed students shocked that antisemitism had “flourished” within its own student union.
