CW: Antisemitic abuse
Jewish girls from universities across the country were added to an Instagram group chat where they were subject to antisemitic abuse.
When none of the girls added to the chat responded to the abuse, one boy wrote, “did they all die in an attack,” while another asked, “why there bare Jews in the chat” before stating: “I love me some oppressor pussy.”
Birmingham student, Kate told The Tab: “It made me feel scared that strangers who I don’t know added me to this group chat in an attempt to spread terror amongst young people, for the pure reason that they are Jewish.
CW: Antisemitic abuse
Jewish students up and down the country are receiving antisemitic abuse as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict boils over into its second week.
One Jewish UCL student was sent a death threat which included a photoshopped picture of her under a guillotine.
UCL Jsoc has also been inundated with threatening messages. One Instagram user told the student-run organisation: “I wish death upon you and curses for life and inshallah to your unborns. Your mother, your father and you will burn in this life and the life after.”
Another user told UCL Jsoc to come to campus. “We’ll be waiting to say hello to you, Arab style,” they said.

The vote was originally scheduled for Jan. 26, the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day in the United Kingdom. Members of the UCL Jewish Society were not invited to or notified about the discussion taking place. The vote was moved to Feb. 3 after UCL Jewish Society President Samuel Goldstone found out about the session and shared his dismay over its “shameful and disgusting” timing.
“It is harrowing that after years of complacency over anti-Semitism in British politics, university student unions have not learned their lesson,” said Georgia Leatherdale-Gilholy, UK associate for CAMERA on Campus. “The exclusion of Jewish students from the discussion over IHRA first by the academic working group and now the student union is a scandal that would likely not be perpetrated against any other minority at UCL.”

Samuel Goldstone, 20, of the UCL Jewish Society, said of the vote, “I thought it was absolutely shameful and disgusting that they decided to hold it at that time, and also that they hadn’t invited one member of the [Jewish Society] or one Jewish student to speak on a discussion about antisemitism.”
The Working Group’s assault on the IHRA definition, he said, “doesn’t represent Jewish students at UCL or our interests.”
The proposal was ultimately defeated by a vote of 45% to 32%, with 23% abstaining.
