[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] LONDON — If the aim of students at the Oxford Union was to stir controversy with their motion accusing Israel of being “an apartheid state responsible for genocide,” the members of the elite debating society at one of Britain’s most prestigious universities succeeded in spades.

Almost three weeks after the November 28 debate, the fallout continues, with reports that counterterrorism police are investigating complaints about remarks made by a pro-Palestinian speaker, accusations of antisemitism, and calls from one of Britain’s top academics for the government to cut funding to universities that fail to protect their Jewish students.
..
Last month’s debate on Israel is likely to join this catalog of infamy. The result of the debate — a predictable 59 to 278 thrashing against the pro-Israel speakers — is likely to be forgotten long before the content of some of the speeches and what has been described as a “toxic and polarizing” atmosphere in the storied debating chamber.

According to the Sunday Telegraph, Miko Peled, a pro-Palestinian Israeli-American activist and author, is now under investigation by specialist counterterror police following complaints about remarks he made during the debate. “What we saw on October 7 was not terrorism,” Peled argued. “These were acts of heroism of a people who have been oppressed.”[/quote]

Same pattern as the Israelis used in the states. Surprised there was no attempted made by the pro Israeli to beat and kill these people.[/quote]

Seeking to silence, rather than respond to, is the domain of the truly corrupt.[/quote]
