Dozens of schoolchildren rallied outside a Western Sydney high school chanting “Allahu Akbar” and demanding the return of a staff member who criticised Australia’s “selective moral outrage” after two Sydney nurses allegedly threatened to “kill” Israeli patients. Compliments of the Australian Labor Party and Greens’ immigration policy.
The Wednesday protest also saw students waving Palestine and Lebanon flags outside Granville Boys High School while shouting “bring him back”, “Sheikh Wesam” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.
The protest was organised by Teachers and School Staff for Palestine New South Wales.
It comes after the school’s student support officer Sheikh Wesam posted a video on Instagram claiming two Sydney nurses’ comments about Israeli patients were “never meant to be literal” or a “threat to patient care”.
Following the video’s publication, the NSW Education Department took swift action against Mr Wesam and ordered him to work from home on Wednesday due to his post allegedly breaching the department’s social media policy and code of ethics.
Mr Wesam has since taken down his post. – Sky News
