Scottish Jewish Event Forced to Move after Threats
(Jerusalem Post) Jonny Paul - Jewish students at St. Andrews University in Fife were forced to find another location for a charity event at the last minute after anti-Israel activists threatened staff at the original venue. The staff received threatening phone calls and email from activists of the radical fringe group Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC), saying the Jewish National Fund and Friends of the IDF were to receive money raised by the students. Joel Salmon, president of the St. Andrews Jewish Society, said the event was held at an alternative venue and had raised over five times the expected amount. "The fact that the protest was organized by people with little or no connection to St. Andrews speaks volumes about our town and university," he added.
