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.

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.

Officers deployed at this protest arrested a man on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence in relation to the alleged chanting of slogans involving calls for intifada.
We're reviewing other available footage to identify anyone else involved.

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
My daughter, a UCL student, faced antisemitism on campus after Oct 7 2023. She is currently on her year abroad and doesn't want to return to UCL. Here's why.

Good on @SigridRausing for responding responsibly to the cut and paste insult culture & wide-spread ignorance that is fostering #antisemitism in the NGO sector & on university campuses. thetimes.com/world/middle-ea…

Four days after 15 people were gunned down celebrating Chanukah, our Chanukah symbol (a candelabra called a chanukiah) has been vandalised in Muswell Hill.
Tell me again how it’s all about Israel.
