Swastikas and anti-Semitism rife on campus
by Daniel Martin, Mailonline:
Anti-Semitism is so entrenched in many of Britain’s universities that the swastika is now seen on campus as a ‘casual symbol of fun’, MPs heard last night.
Parliament heard a litany of ‘horrifying’ examples of anti-Jewish hatred at universities, including the distribution of Holocaust denial literature.
At one university, police had to be called to protect Jewish students from the ‘animalistic behaviour’ of anti-Israel activists.
Student officers have also used the Twitter hashtag #Jew while discussing wealth, while swastikas have been drawn on people’s cars, on the walls of student halls and even at student parties.
Liron Velleman, of the Union of Jewish Students, said the situation was now so bad that ‘we need serious conversations about what the swastika is’.
The appalling stories were recounted at a meeting of the all-party parliamentary group on anti-Semitism.
