University of Essex must be embarrassed... on 18:53 - Feb 21 with 668 views

Some students said they were against society proposals to "explore zionism" and celebrate the Israeli national day.

Is that their reaction or is that actually one of their proposals? If it is it might just be crossed wires about what they actually mean. Voting against the society seems odd.

This follows on from the UCL Students' Union voting down a motion to adopt IHRA definition of antisemitism.

"“The IHRA definition very clearly protects Jewish students from antisemitism. The argument from the other side was that, because it links antisemitism to Israel, it would stop them speaking out against Israel.

“But it doesn’t do that. It stops people from inviting speakers who say Zionists are Nazis. And my right to feel safe on campus shouldn’t be subordinate to others’ right to speak out against Israel".
