Antisemitism Rife In Universities
Oxford suspends student who chanted 'put the Zios in the ground' at pro-Palestine protest. The university is understood to have taken the action after the Daily Mail named Samuel Williams as the student leading the vile anti-Israeli chants.Zio' is an offensive reference to Zionists, and some have interpreted the words as calling for death to Jews.The suspension will continue while the university conducts an investigation.Mr Williams, a philosophy, politics and economics student at Balliol College, is also under investigation by the Metropolitan Policeover the incident.The chants were filmed last Saturday in central London, the day after the ceasefire came into effect in Gaza.Speaking through a microphone at the march, Mr Williams told the crowd: 'A steadfast and noble resistance in Palestine and in Gaza to look to, to be inspired by and – I don't want to yap for too long – but a chant that we've been workshopping in Oxford that maybe you guys want to join in.'It goes 'Gaza, Gaza make us proud, put the Zios in the ground'.'Other online footage from the rally showed Mr Williams near the front of a group of protesters who were holding signs bearing messages including 'Oxford University pick a side, justice or genocide'.A spokesman for the university said: 'The University of Oxford condemns, in the strongest possible terms, any language urging violence against groups of people or expressing any form of racial hatred.https://mol.im/a/15194291I hope this vile individual is not only suspended but kicked out of Oxford. Followed by a 6 month hate-speech jail sentence for inciting violence. This hateful moron, sporting the obligatory black and white tea-towel, has ruined his future employment chances so I hope he thinks it was worth it.
