Educational Ethnic Cleansing
(Gatestone Institute) Col. (ret.) Richard Kemp - According to a report published by David Collier, a British researcher, some UK universities are now virtually Judenfrei: free of Jews. This is a chilling indictment not just of British academia but of a liberal democratic society that has tolerated a wave of discrimination against Jews that has swept through the universities over recent decades. This Jew-hate is cloaked in anti-Zionism, a doctrine that claims the Jewish state, alone among the nations, has no right to exist. The reality in Britain today is that many Jewish students choose their university by the extent of anti-Semitism they will find there. You can meet many Jewish students in Britain who attest to this. I speak frequently at universities on a range of subjects. Only when speaking at the invitation of Jewish or pro-Israel groups have I experienced any hostility as opposed to open debate. In virtually every case, the form of protest is not to disagree but to silence.
