Episode Details

A Melbourne professor testified before a Royal Commission about a chilling incident where masked protesters—some wearing keffiyehs—stormed his office building, just a year after the October 7 attacks. Though he initially thought it might be a protest, the group’s intimidation, chants of genocide, and refusal to leave triggered a security response and police intervention. Despite the professor’s academic ties to Jerusalem and his past comments on Jewish student discomfort, he was targeted with a flyer accusing him of genocide complicity. After the event, campus security tightened around him, but he remains frustrated by the lack of transparency in the investigation, as many involved students face soon-expiring suspensions. He insists universities must uphold professional conduct and protect academic freedom without enabling fear or intimidation.
