After I was heckled, abused and insulted at the Oxford Union, they tried to hide the evidence by censoring the video they released. Now the police are looking into statements made in the debate which supported terrorism.

Last night I spoke at the Oxford Union, in defence of Israel. The evening was a shameful and grotesque mockery of educated debate, interrupted constantly by shrieking, threats and outright hatred. The debate was on the motion “Israel is an apartheid state guilty of genocide”.

1/ As a ceasefire was announced, Gazans celebrated—but not as you’d expect. The tone was triumphalist, with chants like “Khaybar, Khaybar, ya Yahud!”—an ancient call to destroy Jews. This wasn’t relief or hope for peace. It revealed something far deeper. 🧵⬇️.
