00:00
A student protest prompting a counter-protest. Jewish students allege death threats and a
00:07
Nazi salute were made, which the ABC has been unable to verify. It's also unclear if members
00:14
of the encampment were involved.
00:16
Jews are extremely unhappy on campus, feel extremely unsafe, and we don't feel that the
00:22
university is going to do anything about it.
00:25
The university told the ABC it's investigating the allegations and said it does not condone
00:30
any speech that is discriminatory or violates Australian law or our code of conduct. Necessary
00:36
disciplinary action may be taken if our codes are breached.
00:40
This campus protest is highly visible and increasingly divisive. Banners, placards and
00:46
signs are prominent, their messages mixed, causing distress to some Jewish students.
00:52
I want peace in the region. This does nothing to help it. All it does is make Jews on campus
00:57
feel unsafe and miserable.
00:59
The encampment was formed by various groups on campus, including the ANU Students Association.
01:05
Yeah, it is a confronting issue and it is an upsetting issue, but that doesn't mean
01:08
that we can't have the conversations.
01:10
Protest material is being posted beyond the boundaries of the encampment and is responded
01:15
to swiftly. On this May Day, unions showed their solidarity with the protest.
01:21
While some Jewish students are upset and offended by the encampment and protests like this,
01:26
others are getting involved.
01:28
I've been so immensely welcomed in this community and I've never felt more supported
01:34
and welcomed in my life.
01:36
Anna has camped overnight at the protest and is involved with organising it.
01:40
People being against the Israeli government is not people being against the Jewish people.
01:44
Divided opinion on a divided campus.
