CAMERA Slams University College London Following its Lackluster Response to Campus Violence Against Jewish Students
TheUCL Friends of Israel Society and KCL Israel Society, with CAMERA, hosted Hen Mazzig on October 27th. The event was stormed by a mob of anti-Israel protesters who penned students into the event room, preventing them from leaving. Protesters forced windows open and hurled themselves into the event room. Two students were physically assaulted, and attendees, including Mazzig, were traumatized by the incident.
The harrowing experience of our students and speaker garnered international media attention. The Telegraph, The Jewish Chronicle, The Forward, Reshet, YNet, the International Business Times among many others covered the issue. Statements were released by Sir Eric Pickles, the UCL Board of Deputies, and the UK’s Minister of Universities. A joint statement was also made by the Union of Jewish Students, the Board of Deputies of British Jews, Community Security Trust (CST), and the Jewish Leadership Council.
We are excited to support six more campuses: Gators for Israel at the University of Florida, Yellow Jackets for Israel at the University of Rochester, Cardinals for Israel at Wesleyan University, Swarthmore Students for Israel at Swarthmore College, Wildcats for Israel at the University of Arizona, and Cambridge Middle East and North Africa Forum (CMENAF) at the University of Cambridge in the UK.
Newly formed University of Cambridge group CMENAF held their first event on November 7th, featuring Israel’s Ambassador to the UK, Mark Regev. The event had rave reviews from attendees. Click on the video below to watch!
