A video posted by the Australian Jewish Association shows a disturbing scene at Monash University in Melbourne, one of Australia’s most “prestigious” universities.
Students were asked to stand to honor the murdered hostages and the remaining hostages in Gaza “out of respect for our common humanity.”
Only a small group of students, apparently Jewish students, arose and the majority of the students remained sitting. When those who stood began filming them, they screamed: “Stop filming!” [Do they have a guilty conscience?] Some of them began chanting “Free, free Palestine!” as seen in the second video below.
Sadly, in the post-October 7 world, it cannot be taken for granted that the non-Jewish world has any “common humanity” regarding Jews, even those murdered by a sadistic terror group.
Ironically, the university is named after Sir John Monash, a Jewish Australian born to German-born parents who commanded the Australian Corps and fought the Germans during World War I. He was considered one of the war’s outstanding commanders and many historians consider him to be the foremost Allied military commander of the First World War. He was also a successful businessman and was one of Australia’s foremost experts in reinforced concrete for bridges, and railways, and served as the chairman of Victoria’s State Electricity Commission.
He died of heart disease at age 66 in 1931 and over 250,000 people attended his state funeral.

Shocking? No, it’s not shocking.
I would hate to be non-frum especially these days when you see everyone is against you. Being frum puts these ever-increasing scenarios in perspective.
should we stand up and honor mechalilei shabbos?
to philosopher being frum doesn’t make you a good person
but you don’t need to ask if there is anti semitism or not cause there is to the goyim a jew and nazi is the same in their eyes they don’t see who is good or evil only who is boss and still zionism is not the answer and either was communism or secularism the only answer is for people that don’t know torah and never went to a holy shul is that there is a purpose in life that you can’t fight
I’m shocked
This is what they are taught by their professors of leftist ideologies. The colleges should teach a class in history (There was never a country and nationality called Palestine).
The colleges should teach ethics, instead of the garbage (leftist ideologies) they teach.
SomejewiKnow: You stand up for a holy Jew who was killed for being Jewish, and dying al kidush Hashem.
Philosopher,
What difference does it make whether a Jew is Frum or not when it comes to Antisemitism?
do not give attention for those idiots
“Students were asked to stand to honor the murdered hostages and the remaining hostages in Gaza “out of respect for our common humanity.””
In which bible does it say that students have to stand to honor hostages of any nationality at a school half-way around the world?
Would a Jewish (or, liHavdil, Christian) school tell its students to stand up for Muslim Uighur hostages in China?
This is “disturbing” only to Zionist idolaters.
