@ucl have asked me to point out this is on the street outside and not on their campus.

Earlier this week the @UJS_UK put out a report about antisemitism on campus. This is it in action at @ucl in London on Tuesday. ‘Say it loud, say it clear, Zionists are not welcome here.’

@BrokenBarnet @JewishChron @UJS_UK @ucl Yes, I should have written "co-founded". You are of course correct. It was a remarkable idea that gripped a group of non-conformists progressive thinkers & social reformers. Here's one for your reading list by my wonderful colleagues.

@ProfessorBlitz @JewishChron @UJS_UK @ucl Well,in fact UCL was founded by a group of 'dissenters': non conformists, Catholics , Congregationalists and reformists, as well as Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, but yes, I'm sure they would all be horrified by the state of 'discourse' there now.

@DavidPintoD You are Deputy Chair of the APPG on Antisemitism. You can't just pass this off onto the government, whose policy has failed to shift the CPS or improve the antisemitic culture facing many of your constituents. Time for an inquiry, David. We've been asking for a year. @UJS_UK

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…

@ProfessorBlitz @ucl Universities are a Petri dish of radicalisation and the grown ups are abdicating responsibility.

Palestine Action prisoner Qesser Zuhrah starts immediately chanting “intifada” when released on bail today. This is the person MP Zarah Sultana created a drama about outside the prison. These are their grubby ‘heroes’.

@b_judah It's not a fear. It's a realisation. It is happening. It's real.

Just walked past this memorial to UCL staff Gladys Wundowa killed in the 7/7 #London bus bombing. Last week @UCL students incited violence with their calls for "intifada". Hey kids, words matter. Stop supporting terror.

@UCLCheeseGrater writes 30 armed police officers were called to a @ucl protest when a student was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence. The authors note the contested meaning of "intifada" but downplay its undeniable association w terror & violence

@JewishNewsUK Should have been a day of celebrations. @ucl was co-founded by Jews for all. Yet again there were calls to exclude Jews & visit an "intifada" on London. Jews are done with blood libels, racial & religious incitement, bullying, denial & gaslighting. We're the hearts & minds of UCL

@metpoliceuk @DovForman @ucl This is the sad reality. Contrary to the @ucl Provost's message on @BBCLondonNews a core of students has repeatedly intimidated Jewish students and incited violence over the past two years. The University knows who they are. It temporarily banned some only to readmit them.

@DovForman @ucl 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.

“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?

@michaeldickson This should have been a week of celebrations - UCL co-founded by Jews as a university for all, turned 200. An extraordinary success story. Sadly, the antisemitic behaviour that has been tolerated and excused came back up to the surface...because it has been tolerated & excused.

This is a snapshot of antisemitism in Britain in 2025. Is this really what we want our country to look like? As we head into 2026, something has to change.

@NicholasTyrone Cosplaying indeed-like the way a 20 year old suspended undergraduate on hungerstrike, named another as her "next of kin" who calls the other her "loved one". They bash out slogans & videos of themselves feeding each other cake, while their fellow travellers bully other students.

This is a great example of just how much the pro-Palestinian movement in Britain is mostly middle class kids cosplaying. They expose here how much of what they are doing is way more anti-British in spirit than pro anything whatsoever.

Pro-Pals were blocking Kings Cross tonight holding a slogan of the IRA - “Our day will come”. Given the IRA bombed that station at the height of The Troubles this is deeply grim. Have we gone through a hellish time portal to the 1970s?
