A top university has come under fire after a speaker at an ‘anti-racism’ conference allegedly mocked Peter Dutton’s Jewish supporters.
Sarah Schwartz, executive officer of the Pro-Palestinian Jewish Council of Australia, addressed the ‘Queensland University of Technology (QUT) National Symposium on Wednesday unifying anti-racist research and action.’
The Jewish human rights lawyer accused the opposition leader of “exploiting the rise in anti-Semitism for political gain.”
In a leaked recording of her talk, posted by prominent activist and China Hawk Drew Pavlou, Ms Shcwartz shared a slide showing a mocked superhero called ‘Dutton’s Jew’.
“The reality is that for Dutton and his ilk, American Jews are the perfect avatars to sell racism, Islamophobia, anti-immigrant sentiment,” Schwartz told the audience.
He added, to audience laughter: ‘Dutton’s Jew has really provided a human shield for him to talk about some of his favorite topics: hating migrants by arguing that Palestinian refugees are a threat to Jews, who generally hate to Muslims, Protecting everyday Australians from left-wing anti-war protesters and of course strengthening support for Israel as it commits genocide.
“His party no longer needs to defend the right to be bigots because Dutton’s Jew can do this for him.”
Another slide showed a collage of pro-Israel figures including Mr Dutton, leader of a nation Pauline Hanson, US President Donald Trump and Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, along with the caption ‘with friends like these, who need enemies…’ ‘

Pavlou described the content of the conference as “legitimately crazy.”
“Now they complain that Elon Musk and Trump are too friendly to Jews,” he added.
The lecture has caused an uproar, with New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies president David Ossip telling Daily Mail Australia the presentation would not have been out of place at anti-Semitic gatherings over the centuries.
“Jews were characterized as hateful, racist and xenophobic, maliciously working with politicians for nefarious purposes,” Ossip said.
‘It contained everything, laughter as Jews were the object of public ridicule, images of rabbis as objects of ridicule and the baseless demonization of a community that has done nothing to guarantee that hatred.
“We are loathe to make comparisons to pre-war Germany, but these are scenes that would not have been out of place in Nazi propaganda or a Bavarian beer hall in the 1930s.”
Ossip, who called the lecture “wicked and disturbing”, has called on Education Minister Jason Clare to sanction the university.
“Serious questions must be asked about whether taxpayer funds should continue to be provided to the Queensland University of Technology that facilitated this hate forum or any other university that does not take antisemitism seriously,” he added.

Daniel Aghion KC, president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ), said they had sent details of the incident to the Chair of the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights, which is currently conducting an inquiry into anti-Semitism in Australian universities.’
“The image is clearly intended to stigmatize as evil and racist any Jewish person who may support the coalition,” Aghion said.
“It’s ironic that such an obvious and shameful racist trope was used at an event billed as an anti-racism symposium.”
He revealed that the Ecaj had warned the University about possible anti-semtisim before the lecture series.
“(But) QUT leaders responded with a combination of astonishing ignorance, reckless indifference to consequence and the usual empty platitudes about freedom of expression,” Aghion added.
The conservative Australian Jewish Association accused Albanese’s government of refusing “to hold an independent judicial inquiry into antisemitism on university campuses.”
“It is clear that universities cannot govern themselves,” the organization wrote in X.
‘This riotous anti-Semitic display occurred at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Anthony Albanese, enough with the conversation. Start doing something.
Daily Mail Australia has approached QUT for comment.
Ms. Schwartz shared a lengthy statement responding to the criticism, alleging that her slideshow was taken out of context and misrepresented by ‘far-right social media accounts.’
‘I pilorizised Peter Dutton’s racist, ignorant and monolithic conception of the Jewish people. I argued that he uses this conception to promote division, attack the ALP and push an anti-immigrant agenda,’ he said.
“In my presentation, I referred to Dutton’s racist conception of the Jewish people as “Dutton Jew”: Dutton’s racist conception of Jews, not the actual Jewish people.
“Against this conception, I talked about how Jews are diverse and how the Jewish community is not a monolith.”
Ms Schwartz accused the “opportunists” of misrepresenting her main point, “which is that Peter Dutton is exploiting the rise in anti-Semitism for political gain.
“Dutton has a long history of racism, including against the African community, against First Nations people, including leaving Parliament out of formal apologies to the Stolen Generations, and against migrants and refugees,” he added.
‘Now, for political gain, he claims to be an anti-racism warrior in support of the Jewish community. To that end, he has falsely painted all Jews as having particular attitudes and characteristics.
She added: ‘Dutton’s reduction of the Jewish community into a single stereotype and silencing Jews who do not fit that typology, only serves to make Jews less safe. This is particularly grotesque amid a very real rise in anti-Semitism.
Daily Mail Australia approached Mr Dutton’s office for comment.
