City University London has called the police on students carrying out a peaceful anti-genocide protest. One social media user posted footage of the protest:

Security guards told students that the university had called in police because using an image of University President Anthony Finkelstein supposedly constituted hate speech. However, when they arrived officers made no mention of hate speech and took no issue with the protesters’ materials, telling them instead that they were causing a ‘disruption’.

The social media user also explained that students:

demonstrated against the employment of lecturer Michael Ben-Gad, who they claim served in the IDF. Ben-Gad is an economics professor, and students are demanding his immediate removal.

The Starmer regime is waging war on the protest rights of UK citizens, in order to protect Israel and its interests, with student protest and Jewish anti-genocide activists particularly targeted. Shamefully, many universities are eagerly collaborating.

Starmer’s government has appointed an Israel-funded, genocide-defending campus group to give obligatory ‘training’ to university staff on supposed antisemitism and is implementing legislation to further restrict anti-genocide protest.
