STUDENT MAGAZINE ACCUSED OF ANTI-SEMITISM
Last week, an editor of an Adelaide University publication was sacked over controversial comments directed towards Jewish groups.
Media student Habibah Jaghoori initially refused to step down after student newspaper, On Dit was accused by the Australasian Union of Jewish Students (AUJS) of racism and inciting “hatred”.
The article detailed claims of Israeli atrocities against Palestinians, concluding by calling for “death to Israel”.
Ms Jaghoori went on to stand by her comments in a meeting with her peers, prompting a complaint to the university’s student union, YouX.
The publication had also been placed under review, and last Tuesday the union made the decision to remove Ms Jaghoori from the 4 person team.
One student said this wasn’t the first time he had encountered anti-Semitic behaviour at the university.
