JEWISH STUDENTS IN LONDON FACE INTIMIDATION

Tide of extremism is rising against us, say Jewish students By Sean O'Neill and Yaakov Lappin (Times UK)

“This [London's School of Oriental and African Studies] is not a good place to be a Jewish student, and especially not if you are Israeli as well,” she said. “It is getting out of hand. Consistently people just look at me as Jewish or Israeli. They don’t look at me as an individual. I am interested in a peaceful solution. I came here to study Arabic and have productive discussions with people of different views. It is very frustrating and unpleasant just to be seen as the enemy.” The latest sign of increasing anti-Semitism at the college is the publication this week in SOAS Spirit, the student union magazine, of an article advocating suicide terrorism by Palestinians.
