This racist language comes from a deep wellspring of anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim prejudice - and should not be acceptable from anyone, let alone a member of parliament.

Showing support for Palestinians using antisemitism is wrong & counter-productive.
Showing support for Israel using Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian rhetoric is wrong & counterproductive.

We have been receiving reports from British Muslims and British Jews, who are distressed by being pushed and pulled to state their views and take positions. If you don't understand why this is problematic, please read our anti-racism and anti-bullying guides.

As we see increasing violence and the awful loss of life in
#IsraelPalestine
, we're also aware how this is impacting people in the UK who feel anger, helplessness and frustration about what is happening. Antisemitism & Islamophobia have no place in activism or solidarity for I-P.
UJS is disgusted that Jewish students and societies are being targeted with antisemitic abuse. Antisemitism is never the answer to increased hostilities in the Middle East and Jewish students must not be held to account for this.

This is not easy for people to do at a time like this, nor will actions like this solve the problems of occupation, violence, insecurity, inequality and fear. But it is an incredibly powerful step to take, and can be part of the foundations of a more just future.

Being passionate and mobilised to call out violence, injustice, occupation and insecurity is important, and a right. But it must be done without targeting Jews and Muslims, Israelis and Palestinians with antisemitic and anti-Muslim or anti-Palestinian hate speech or hate symbols.
