Support for Sarah Schwartz

In relation to our article Help defend the Jewish Council’s anti-racism work against Murdoch press smear campaign

I was shocked to read in yesterday’s Australian a fierce diatribe by Marcia Langton against a recent event at the Queensland University of Technology. Ms Langton took aim in particular at the presentation by Sarah Schwartz, using terms including “shocking”, “deluded” and “anti-Semitic”.

I thank the Jewish Council of Australia and Pearls & Irritations for giving readers some background to this sordid story. I urge readers to hit the keyboards, and to add the Australian’s letters page to their list.
