Sky News The Kenny Report: Centre for Youth Policy Director Freya Leach has called out University of Sydney’s Vice-Chancellor Mark Scott over “rewarding” pro-Palestine protestors.
Hamas mass rape a ‘hoax’ and ‘fake news’, says University of Sydney professor Sujatha Fernandes
A University of Sydney professor has told first-year students that Hamas’s mass rapes and sexual ¬violence on October 7 were “fake news” and a “hoax” peddled by the media, and that Israel had engaged in “ethnic cleansing” propped up by Western governments that had “repressed domestic dissent”.
Australia’s oldest university, which has been embroiled in a month-long pro-Palestine encampment protest, and allegations that it is not doing enough to protect Jewish students and staff from anti-Semitism, confirmed it would “look into the matter as a priority” after it was alerted to it by The Australian.
The UN has said
There were “reasonable grounds” to believe
Hamas engaged in mass and gang rape across multiple locations
on October 7.
UN Remarks1
Sociology prof. Sujatha Fernandes believes October 7 was a “hoax”.
Sociology professor Sujatha Fernandes told a class in April that the media was “distorting” the conflict, and the terrorist group’s mass rapes on and after October 7 were a “hoax”.
“Western media has played the role of an ideological state apparatus by suppressing coverage of the atrocities, peddling fake news (promoted hoaxes that Hamas beheaded babies and carried out mass rape, in order to shore up support for Israel), and distorting events,” Professor Fernandes said.

Students: Fernandes actions & anti-Semitism Not acceptable!
One sociology student, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said she was “repulsed” in, particular by Professor Fernandes calling Hamas’s sexual atrocities a “hoax”.
“After committing to four years and tens of thousands of dollars, the least I would expect are teachers who do not blatantly promote lies and foster an unsafe, threatening environment,” the student said.
“I came to university for an education, not to have my safety compromised and the rights of the encampment placed above my own. These issues go way beyond the class; this tolerance for anti-Semitic ideology is institutional at the university, and leadership refuses to act.”
One Jewish student, speaking anonymously given fears of reprisal, said the statements showed a “rising trend of anti-Semitism” at the university.
“(It’s) a trend I feel every day, especially at the university,” they said. “I find it ridiculous how these same individuals will deny undeniable proof of the events of October 7, which Hamas proudly filmed themselves doing.”
Australian Polity the Uniparty
Opposition education spokeswoman Sarah Henderson said she expected the university to “fully investigate” the lecturer.
“Academic freedom does not mean the freedom to mislead or indoctrinate students or convey information which is not factually accurate,” she said.
Indoctrination, Activism and AU. Educational Academia
Empty Rhetoric by AU. Academia:
“There is no room for indoctrination or activism in any educational setting.”
Empty Rhetoric by AU. Uniparty Polity:
The Coalition has called for the Albanese government to instigate a judicial review into anti-Semitism at university campuses, which it has so far been reluctant to commit to.
Protesting or Pure Racism
It is the latest issue for the University of Sydney to address as it struggles to contain both the pro-Palestine encampment and concerns from the Jewish community that it is not doing enough to stamp out hate speech.
NSW Academia-Claytons: Concession or Diversion
On Tuesday, vice-chancellor Mark Scott made a concession offer to encampment protesters, promising to work with them to “review” the university’s ties with defence companies. That offer was rejected by activists who called it “spin”.
Professor Fernandes was contacted for comment by The Australian.

Pramila Patten, the UN’s Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, said after an investigatory visit to Israel in January: “What I witnessed were scenes of unspeakable violence (that were) perpetrated with shocking brutality.”
The UN said her team found “convincing information” that sexual violence – including gang rapes – was committed against hostages, and it had reasonable grounds to believe that it “may still be ongoing against those in captivity”.
