Muslims Protest Israel at British Universities

(London, England) A report filed today indicates that students have been conducting numerous protest sit-ins at universities throughout the United Kingdom calling for condemnation of Israel and support for the Palestinians in Gaza.

A record number of university sit-ins last deployed to challenge the South African apartheid were used in protest over the Gaza siege.

Hundreds of students in over twenty five universities occupied theatre rooms across the country in January and February.

Student demands went beyond calls for condemnation of Israel with all groups asking their universities to severe ties with Israeli academia, institutions, arms companies and calls for universities to offer Palestinians scholarships and other education assistance.

No single body controlled the protests that stretched the width and breadth of the country but with help of blogs providing updates the number of universities taking part steadily grew.

Some of the schools opted to appease the protesters, others rousted them out. Nevertheless, the reported nationwide effort is considered to be a success in igniting stronger anti-Israel sentiment.

A list of the sit-in locations is included at the link. And if someone has an argument against the assertion that Britain has devolved into dhimmitude, please leave a comment.
