(JEWISH GROUP) Sydney University sacks lecturer for outburst at Jewish students

The University of Sydney has sacked a staff member months after she was filmed during a verbal outburst at Jewish students on campus.

The staffer, identified as Rose Nakad, reportedly confronted the students who were celebrating the Jewish festival of Sukkot in October.

She was suspended after a video of the exchange was circulated online, pending an investigation, amid widespread outrage.

She told the media that Ms Nakad, who claimed to be an Indigenous Palestinian, turned around and said: “If you tell me you are an anti-Zionist Jew, I have no problem with you. A Zionist, whether they are Jewish, whether they are Christian, whether they are Muslim … is the lowest form of rubbish.”
