Sydney University has won an appeal over its dismissal of an academic who made multiple derogatory remarks about Israel, including superimposing the Nazi swastika on the Israeli flag in a lecture slide.
The win comes as universities are under intense pressure to tackle antisemitism on their campuses as pro-Palestinian protesters reach their third week of encampments on campuses in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and Perth.
