Jewish student members of the National Union of Students (NUS), which represents over seven million university students in the UK, have experienced antisemitism from the organization’s left-wing pro-Palestinian activists
The Algemeiner reports - “The antisemitism which has been experienced has not been limited to Israeli-related examples such as holding Jewish students responsible for the acts of the Israeli state or comparing Israeli policy to Nazism, but has also seen the employing of ancient antisemitic tropes, from blood libels to Rothschild conspiracies,” the report, written by independent lawyer Rebecca Tuck said.
NUS has long been dogged by accusations of prevalent antisemitism throughout its organizing structure.
In November NUS removed president Shaima Dallali after finding her guilty of antisemitism and other misconduct. In announcing the removal, the first in the organization’s 100 year history, NUS apologized for “the harm that has been caused” and pledged to “rebuild the NUS in an inclusive way — fighting for all students as we have done for the past 100 years.”
