🚨Important story exposing racist Israeli ambassador @TzipiHotovely's apartheid whitewashing monologue enabled by morally bankrupt @cambridgeunion now hiding behind inaccurate statements trying to backtrack & cover-up the scale of failure their event was! electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…

Important thread detailing profiling and interrogation of a Cambridge Union member at the Israeli ambassadors event a few days ago. Who were the security personnel that profiled and interrogated Zeshan Qureshi?

Dr Zeshan Qureshi details being racially profiled and interrogated by security agents external to the university, while attending the Cambridge Union event with the Israeli ambassador.

Israel’s ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, shared a platform at a 2019 conference calling for the annexation of the occupied West Bank with a far-right politician condemned by the Board of Deputies bit.ly/3GJlhGs

My latest report: @cupalsoc says the @cambridgeunion was "whitewashing apartheid" by hosting notorious Israeli racist @TzipiHotovely: electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…

@cambridgeunion Hi. I'm writing a story about how you hosted Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely for a speech this week. Why was her event conspicuously absent from your social media? It it because you knew you'd face criticism for hosting such a notorious racist?

Breaking: @ucu and @NUSUK back students' right to chant "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free" and denounce education minister @nadhimzahawi for suppressing political speech: "this chant is one used widely by Palestinians." Full statement: ucu.org.uk/article/12093/…

We are appalled and shocked at @cambridgeunion's decision to invite Tzipi Hotovely to give a monologue on Tuesday 8th February, and legitimise her extreme racist ideology. In response, we have co-written an open letter condemning the Cambridge Union: forms.gle/MLwU1BrqRUxgh9…. 1/4

The Jewish Chronicle & the UK government, amongst others, believe they have the right to decide what slogans an oppressed people living under an apartheid occupation, should & shouldn’t use. If only they would focus on the actual brutal oppression, apartheid & illegal occupation

PSC welcomes this strong statement from @nusuk & @ucu calling on @nadhimzahawi to withdraw his call for students to be reported to the police.
