This Blog will be a place to share some of popular sentiment opposing the recent student sit-ins supposedly in solidarity with Gaza and other various activities. The main reasons, as will become clear, are the disingenuous nature of these protests and simplistic counter-productive nature they often put forward. It's worth noting that there are always some exceptions where intelligent debate does happen but unfortunately it is exactly that - an exception.
This blog will also deal with the big elephant in the room - Antisemitism. What is it? How does it relate? Is everyone that joins in with an anti-Israel protest a committed anti-semite? The first thing to get out loud and clear that the author(s) of this blog don't believe that all criticism of Israel is Anti-semitic; there won't be an attempt to label every protesters as Anti-semitic but hopefully this can spark an intelligent debate about Anti-semitism and its role in the criticism of Israel - wishful thinking? Maybe but isn't that what the Internet is for!
Occasionally we may stray beyond the remit if something interesting or relevant occurs - watch this space! If you'd like to contribute get in touch.
