I hope and pray the Australian Jews are not
like ours in good old USA, good only for posing at pictures and showing their
teeth as it would be a tooth paste commercial rather...

Then associate professor lynch, like this
in minuscules does not represent the university and rejected professor AVNON's
request on his own... It is up to the university authorities to send him
packing... But this crap of rewarding the evil ARA-RAT and ASHRAWI represent is
not only the epitome of bias but also the fault of the Israeli PR establishment
for failing to set the record straight kick away the stupid Political
Correctness and call issue by their proper name and, if doing it entails
stepping on too many toes, THEN SO BE IT... After all, was it long that their PM
read the riot act to the Muslims in their midst ???

If I may comment yet again: there seems to
be a plethora of articles and criticism of Jake Lynch. Moreover, his blatant
bias must be something the University should and would be concerned with if
enough people voice their objections to that bias, especially within the
framework of his mandate. Rather than coming up with good ideas and presenting
them here, I can only encourage everyone to ACT! I've written to Vice Chancellor
Spence and feel that others should do so as well. Various excellent ideas are
being voiced here, i.e. asking Minister Carr to investigate. There is little
question that an open anti-Semitic bias is very negative branding for the
University and for Australia. If everyone wrote and called, representing their
indignation of unacceptable behavior on the part of an academic who influences
opinion, and seems to be abusing trust, then people will
listen.

It is the height of absurdity that an
academic, who one expects has been trained to think dispassionately and
objectively, takes a totally one-sided view of a conflict. In doing so he
demonstrates a level of unprofessionalism and bigotry that should bar him from
him from his position at the university. As someone incapable of teaching on
evidence-based foundations he undermines the very academic culture that he has
been hired to propagate His continued presence at the college cannot but have a
negative impact.

Every legal avenue open to anyone should be
pursued against Professor Lynch. As part of a a government funded institution,
Lynch has no right to adopt such a discriminatory position against another
academic. I for one hope that the Australian Jewish community will muster as
much support as possible to have Lynch removed permanently

Well done to Christian Kerr and the
Australian for writing and printing this article. You stand for truth and
fairness against a centre of hypocrisy and bigotry which has taken up residence
in an otherwise reputable university.

I would add that such comments to the Vice
Chancellor, as Ronit suggests, should be sober, non-emotional and realistic so
as to not bring discredit to the rash of comments he must already be
receiving.

Hey, not to be unkind, but instead of
rhetorical jibberish here, that ends up in my inbox of new comments, please
write to Mr. Spence directly with your indignation(s), as I have. That may have
some effect.

Associate Professor Lynch should be
required to prepare a paper clearly justifying his reasons for a boycott of
Israeli academics. This paper should be required to be done in a scholarly
manner giving soundly argued reasons together with evidence. It should be then
submitted to an expert academic panel for examination. If he cannot or will not
do this, or if his arguments are not of sufficient standard the University
should consider whether he is of value to them as an employee. Making academics
justify their actions in a scholarly manner would be an effective way of weeding
out the bad apples.

How is it that imbeciles of this nature get

discriminatory 'boycotts' - can be theirs to make?

To my best knowledge-negative or positive
result-is result? Psychology is science-it mean scientific result. If it
truth-so truth is that person will protect own choice with any means, if, even,
he or she recognize own mistake, pressure close circle or outsider ,social
connection, publicity, money etc. He made choice-like Hanan Ashrawi , on a
question: what she thinks ABOUT Palestinian destroyed Christian church?-her
answer-He is provocateur, Israeli agent .PLO, which sell Own service for Higher
bitter , not for Own people –remember billion dollars in Swiss bank on Arafat
account? Why you surprise that person , who choose side behave differently: help
build peace-normal relationship . Normal it means NO NEWS, no publicity, no
originality. WAR, revolution, terror, blood-its another story

To all our readers - who also happen to be
lawyers...is it in fact, legal for a publicly funded institution to be making
politically motivated decisions with international implications when this must
be in breach of university policy? And surely his behaviour goes to damage our
international relationship with Israel and is at odds with Australian foreign
policy which considers Israel a fellow democracy and a friend? Isn't it the case
then, that this Lynch fellow can be compelled not only to account for his
behaviour but to make a public non-ambiguous apology and sincere retraction for
his illegal and insupportable position in this matter? Please let us
know!

The "peace" centre's web site lists Johan
Galtung [see "Norwegian media slams anti-Semitic professor" tinyurl.com/cut8c8q]
as one of its five "Off-site" lecturers. It would be a real shame if the people
acquiescing in this scandalous conduct ended up being pilloried by Israel's
friends alone.

It seems clear enough. Discriminating
against somebody, not for what they have done, but for the group that they
belong to, whether that group be Jews, people with dark skin, or Israelis, is
the very hallmark of bigotry, a bigotry that now permeates the very institutions
upon which we rely to stamp out bigotry by teaching rational thought proceeses.
Political group think now permeates our society, where an Australian chocolate
company is boycotted for having loose ties with Israel. How can academics not be
ashamed of this level of bigotry and stupidity? If they were truly boycotting
Israel there is a long list of products, medical and technological, that they
should be avoiding, beginning with the Intel chip in their PC and secure
internet banking and shopping. I'm sure the hypocrites won't give any of that
very long list up ... especially the multitude of cures that could save their
lives. Best pretend it wasn't made in Israel.

THURSDAY, 6 DECEMBER 2012 Of boycotts and
hypocrites at Sydney University! Of boycotts and hypocrites at Sydney
University! Never mind all the plain waffle of 'promoting interdisciplinary
research... conflict resolution' et al. Sydney University peace centre rebuffs
Israeli civics teacher BY CHRISTIAN KERR From:The Australian December 06, 2012
12:00AM These are the verbal playthings of Sydney University in justifying
arguably illegal boycotts which the ACCC should have vitiated. The lamentable
toothless ACCC wrote to me twice last year; they are a waste of time. As far as
they are concerned primary boycotts against Israel are OK - but they have
problems with so - called secondary boycotts. The unsubtle anti - Israel bias
escapes anyone who contemplates boycotting primary or secondary Palestinian /
Gaza goods! Primary or secondary boycotts of Saudi Arabian goods! Hezbullah
goods? Guess how long it would be before harm was done to me in disparate ways!
But I am so assured the ACCC would defend me by default - like they failed to
defend Brenners last year in September. Another thing: the boycotee is plainly
no friend of Israel: he has no problems with boycotts against his country Israel
so long as boycotters ''...distinguish one individual from another.''!
Furthermore the professor from Hebrew University Dan Avnon claims to be ''doing
our best to effect change in Israeli political culture. We pay prices for going
against the institutional grain'' I recall a classical commentary by the late
anti - semitic cleric Sir Irving Benson who criticised the Nazis for '' lumping
all Jews together and labelling them uniformly bad.... hunted Einstein and
condemned him with the meanest Shylock who ever lived.'' The Age A Saturday
Reflection 25 May 1985 By Sir Irving Benson, their religious writer! Shame.
Geoff Seidner address withheld ''Professor Avnon - who has written on moving
beyond the Jewish-Palestinian divide to develop a new sense of citizenship in
Israel - said of the centre's decision: "I find it ironic that you promote a
policy of boycott that does not distinguish one individual from another. It is
ironic because, like myself, many (probably most) intellectuals and scholars in
relevant fields are doing our best to effect change in Israeli political
culture. We pay prices for going against the institutional grain. And then we
turn around and meet such a 'blind to the person' policy."

It is disgraceful that a University Peace
Studies Centre would boycott contact with a visiting Israeli teacher who
advances Jewish-Arab understanding in Israel (The Australian, 6/12/12). The BDS
movement has long claimed that it only boycotts Israeli institutions and does
not discriminate against individual Israelis. It is now evident that the BDS
movement stands not for human rights, but rather for the ethnic stereotyping and
demonization of all Israel Jews.

International Covenant on Civil and

religious discrimination in employment, guarantees the enjoyment of human rights
without distinction of any kind, such as RACE, colour, sex, language, RELIGION,
political or other opinion, NATIONAL OR SOCIAL origin, property, birth or other
status (article 2.1) What part of this statement has eluded Associate Professor
Jake Lynch?

"Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions" appears
