Jewish students from University College London hosted a party for 150 people last night to dance, drink and ‘celebrate Israel’.
The co-president of University College London’s Jewish society said “The purpose of this event is to send a message to Jewish students on campus that there’s no fear.”
The student leader added, “They are free to express what they believe in, they are free to express themselves and no one has the fear of backlash”. The event comes after police were called to reported ‘violent’ protests last week to escort students out of the room where Israeli activist Hen Mazzig was due to speak.
The Board of deputies called the event an outrage with Parliamentary officer Joel Salmon saying,
“We are very angry and quite outraged because it was an infringement of free speech and it was intimidating for the students who are there.”
However there are further concerns with Jewish Student safety coming from the board after the protests with Mr Salmon saying the board was “concerned.”
