Antisemitism is becoming frighteningly endemic in our universities. This week I met with two students who have experienced it first hand and it is worth dwelling on their stories because they are shocking.
Bradley Smart is an undergraduate at the University of Cambridge. After visiting Israel, fellow students said they wanted to kill him. No disciplinary action was taken.
Merit Habib Matta spoke about the casual antisemitism she has encountered at Oxford University. In a lecture she attended, the first sentence was:
“The Zionist occupation of Palestine…”
A classmate said that “The Nazis expansion into Europe was at least the same continent, how could the Jews justify moving to a place so far away?”
These comments were made as statements of fact, without challenge or consequence.
How we respond to this is test of the kind of country we are.
Universities that do not take antisemitism seriously should face serious consequences. There must be real accountability. Without it, we will never stamp this vile hatred out.
Thank you to the @PinskerCentre for arranging and all they are doing.
I am not using my account here to comment on things often, but this news story needs a comment:
How is it possible that a professional European politician in 2026 does not see the very obvious historical parallels of supporting the idea of creating lists of Jews?
Good news. My patriotic friend @LordWeirDUP won the Private Members’ Bill ballot, and has just introduced a Bill to prohibit any change in the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands without the consent of both Parliament and the Chagossian people.
We are going to win this thing.

This exchange is so revealing. Kenyon points out the obvious - that the more people that enter a country, the more houses that country will need. But upon hearing the argument that immigration puts pressure on the housing supply, the Green candidate immediately defaults to her "I'm shocked and horrified you could ever say such a thing!" mode. The funny thing is, she ends up agreeing with him, but even then she tries to pretend he has said something appalling. This is what happens when politics is rooted in feelings rather than facts.
The official representative body for Muslim police officers in Britain has branded Zionism "one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred," described the Israel Defence Force as a "Zionist terrorist group" and defended Hamas against "unverified stories about acts of violence.".
The inflammatory claims are made by the National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) in a policy paper on "confronting anti-Muslim hatred," written by its then vice-president, Khaldoun Kabbani, published on its website last year but not publicised until now.

@DoNoHarm79 It’s long been bizarre to me that the Greens party would claim to want a clean environment while encouraging vulnerable young people to fill their bodies with synthetic hormones. It would be wonderful if they recognized the irony.
I’ve been investigating the russian refinery for days now and the story gets darker and darker. The shipments are sent to Siberia, smelted, and sold to the russian company ‘ASK’. This company distributes aluminium directly to Russia’s missile & drone manufacturers.
@CaolanReports FFS Ireland's antisemitism knows no fucking bounds. Bet the answer is the same if it was China or Assad when they were in power.
Reminder that Russia killed more civilians in Mariupol alone in 2 months than Israel did in all of Gaza in 2 YEARS
I asked a local councillor if the russian refinery here in Ireland should be sanctioned.
He said yes, if it was supplying Israel.
But Russia? No.
This is Ireland’s sanctions hypocrisy in 90 seconds.
Got it. If Irish aluminum is used to kill Palestinians, it’s shouldn’t be sold, but if it’s used for Russian missiles killing Ukrainians, we just need to think about local jobs first.
I gave my son a summer job last year because he couldn't find one otherwise. I kept him on in case he needs work this year
Now I have to file monthly returns to HMRC saying I'm not paying him at the moment
They set debt collectors on me because they assumed with zero evidence I would pay him the same every month. I ignored the debt collectors as they'd never get a court order to enforce a debt that didn't exist
Now the pensions regulator is demanding I prove he doesn't need me to start a pension for him. How did they know I had employed him? Probably from HMRC.... So why don't they also know he didn't earn enough to pass the threshold
These people are out of control
It's hard not to see the state as my actual enemy these days rather than an inconvenience to be navigated
Ha
Islamist organisation "5 pillars UK" have sparked “outrage” amongst their NAIVE left-wing allies after releasing a guide on "how to navigate through pride month"
For 15 years on this platform I warned leftists not to trust Muslim Brotherhood groups.
Islamists NEVER supported diversity and LGBT rights
