This makes for shocking reading. Jewish students are facing appalling levels of antisemitism on campus. This is why the Government’s strategy for social cohesion, with its strong measures to tackle extremism, is so welcome and so important
Union of Jewish Students@UJS_UK

Today the Union of Jewish Students has published Time for Change, a landmark report into campus antisemitism. Our report, based on new polling and Jewish students’ testimonies, diagnoses the problems on campus and makes urgent recommendations for change. assets.nationbuilder.com/ujs/pages/1126…

@nicolelampert @UJS_UK A situation made much worse by the absolute refusal to accept there is a problem by VCs

Nicole Lampert@nicolelampert·
This year my big boy started university and encountered antisemitism that shocked him. A fair bit of it didn’t even bother trying to disguise itself as antizionism but was straight up Jew hatred. So this new polling of students from @UJS_UK does not surprise me. It has found antisemitism normalised in places of learning. And even as university culture emphasises ‘safe spaces’ and ‘trigger warnings’ most students can see that their universities are doing nothing to stamp out hate speech against Jews. It found: 🔵 One in four students (23%) have seen behaviour that targets Jewish students for their religion/ethnicity. 🔵 One in five (20%) students would be reluctant to, or would never, houseshare with a Jewish student. 🔵 Jewish students have told us they have faced physical and verbal abuse, social ostracisation and widespread antisemitic attitudes. 🔵 Glorification of terrorism is prevalent and unpunished. Our research has found that student groups have explicitly called for violence against Jews, even justifying the terrorist attack at Bondi Beach in December 2025. 🔵 49% of students have heard slogans or chants glorifying Hamas, Hezbollah or other proscribed groups on campus. 🔵 47% have witnessed justification of the October 7th attacks, rising to 77% among those who encounter Israel-Palestine protests regularly. 🔵 Protests have disrupted learning for 65% of students, and 40% have altered their journey on campus to avoid disruption. Universities where protests are more frequent have seen higher levels of antisemitism, and four in ten (39%) of students who witness regular Israel-Palestine protests have seen Jewish students harassed often. 🔵 69% of students disapprove of protests blocking access to learning, and 82% deem calls to 'globalise the intifada' to be antisemitic. Full report below 👇🏼

London university @ucl is celebrating its 200th anniversary. It was the first English university to allow Jews to study: today Jewish students there face daily attacks and their classmates calling for violence against them. Where is the leadership at UCL to say enough? My piece on the university below 👇🏼
Dov Forman@DovForman

“From London to Gaza we will have an intifada.” A chant openly calling for the murder of Jews on my campus just now… Will @ucl stay silent as normal?

Today, @UCL turns 200 years old. Happy birthday, UCL! Perhaps its birthday wish should be to root out the antisemitism that has taken hold in the past few years, which has included welcoming incendiary guest speakers spouting age-old conspiracies and enabling a culture in which Jewish students and staff feel unwelcome and unsafe on its campus by looking the other way when pro-Palestine extremists bully and intimidate others, as seen in this video from last year. We hope this milestone prompts a new way forward for Jewish students at UCL.

@Ben202122 @RichMillett Actually, the dinner was organised by Chabad and the J Soc in order to 'take back the Quad' where the pro-palestine students had set up an encampment. Nobody broke bread together.

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.

@TheStage @rbo_org "vehement opposition from across its workforce" 180 signatories out of over 1000 staff. Bullies. Cultural boycotts achieve nothing. Shameful.

“I received a screenshot from a colleague who went on the self checker and found sure enough that his data had been released.” The MoD data leaks is a “very serious" and will cost the British government a “huge amount of money", says Professor at UCL, Brad Blitz.

@o_sheilagh @HeidiBachram @strangebrewbriz Exactly. Are they actually being discriminated against because some band members are Jewish? They are not saying 'nationality' (Israeli, for instance), they used the word 'ethnicity', (Jewish is an ethnicity)

A famous Klezmer band Oi Va Voi has just been cancelled by their Bristol venue because some of their members are Israeli. This is discrimination based on nationality. Xenophobia. Disgusting. @strangebrewbriz

The following academics are in this toxic mix: Usaama Al-Azami of Oxford, Jeroen Gunning of LSE, and Tarek Younis of UCL. Another triumph for the academy.
