Anti-Semitism on rise at British universities

Written by Super User 17 Jan 2011

Britain’s Chief Rabbi, Lord Jonathan Sacks, has charged several of the UK’s most prestigious universities of ‘turning a blind eye and a deaf ear’ to the increasing number of speeches defaming and delegitimizing Israel being made on campuses all over Britain. He contrasted the conduct of universities with government officials of all political parties who take ‘an unequivocal and a firm stand against anti-Semitism.’ ‘Let me be blunt,’ Sacks said. ‘I believe that the inflammatory public speeches being allowed to take place on university campuses would, in any other context and directed against any other group, be prosecuted under the law forbidding incitement to racial and possibly religious hatred.’

Pray: against this trend in our education establishments by those whose values are distorted. (Pr.16:13)
