Today marks three years since October 7th 2023. Three years since Hamas unleashed a wave of barbaric violence, murdering over 1,200 innocent men, women and children, and abducting 251. Join us in remembrance this evening at 5pm opposite Downing Street.
If you really believed your university was supporting genocide you would a) not attend graduation decked out in the university's robes; and b) not sip champagne and take selfies in front of the university display in the Royal Festival Hall @southbankcentre @DovForman @JewishChron
Regarding @CommonsDefence report on Afghan resettlement schemes - not one of the families on our list of human rights defenders & civil society activists (232 people) was relocated to the UK. And the data on evacuations Operation Pitting still bundle Afghan & British nationals!
Hard to think about a more stupid decision any university could make in these times...thejc.com/news/uk/ucl-axes-a…
Such clarity and leadership from @AmmiHirsch

UJS welcomes new measures announced by the Prime Minister this morning to combat antisemitism on campus, following the recommendations made in our ‘Time For Change’ report.
The measures are designed to hold universities to account for how they deal with hate crimes. ⬇️

What's becoming inescapab;y apparent is that violence against Jews generates not sympathy - but the opposite an even more furiously excited hatred - even greater violence; the multiplication of swastika signs; Kristallnacht vandalism and destruction - the targets chosen to give greatest pain - synagogues; schools especially
The daughter of a man killed in the Bondi Beach massacre has revealed the barrage of hate-filled messages she's received in the wake of the terror attack.
Sheina Gutnick's father died trying to stop the alleged gunmen; today she fronted the first day of the royal commission on antisemitism, saying she's been told by strangers, she too should have died that day.
Essential article by @nicolelampert that our leaders should read, and all those who claim to be opposed to #racism & #antisemitism.

Today I am proud that the second edition of my 7 October Parliamentary Commission Report is being published. It's on 7Octparliamentarycommission.… We cannot allow history to be distorted and 7 Oct denial to win @AppgIsrael #7October #Israel
This is the sad reality. Contrary to the @ucl Provost's message on @BBCLondonNews a core of students have repeatedly intimidated Jewish students and incited violence over the past two years. The University knows who they are. It temporarily banned some only to reality them.
Within less than 24 hours of the @ucl Provost's @BBCLondonNews interview, the reality of what Jewish students face was laid bare. #antisemitism #intimidation #incitement - University & @metpoliceuk inaction. @antisemitism @LordJohnMann @JewishChron
