Anti-semitism is still a problem

Sir, - Anti-semitism has become a major problem in most United Kingdom universities and the deplorable behaviour of Oxford University’s Labour Club (OULC) is only the tip of the iceberg.

Support for the Palestinians has morphed into support for any enemy of Israel including those within genocidal tendencies who want to destroy the nation and all things Jewish.

Jewish students feel “threatened and vulnerable” in campuses where Islamists recruit for ISIS and they are the only minority group which cannot turn to the student unions for support.

Members of the OULC have been disciplined for harassing and intimidating individual Jewish students but there is disturbing rise in such incidents in all our leading universities.

What makes this truly disheartening is that it was university students who burned Jewish books in Nazi Germany and it appears little has changed in the groves of academia.
