Let me introduce myself. I am a child of Holocaust survivors. My mother survived Auschwitz and my father fought the Nazi war machine as a partisan during the Second World War. Ninety-eight percent of my extended family perished during the Holocaust.

Do not fall into this trap of meaninglessness and an unfulfilled life. You, the vice-chancellors of Australian Universities, have a chance right now to prove your life meaningful not only to yourselves, but also to the people of Australia by making sure that this war of annihilation against the Palestinian people ends and that the means for the continuation of this war end immediately.
