The Jewish Chronicle has published a blistering essay by a non-Jewish academic about the alarming levels of anti-semitism she encounters on a daily basis at her university. It’s an anonymous piece because she doesn’t want to be targeted by ‘anti-Zionist’ loons on her campus, but every bit rings true. It begins:
As a non-Jewish lecturer at a major university, I can confirm that British academia is structurally racist against Jews. The penny finally dropped as I was second-marking a piece of undergraduate writing in which Jews were openly compared to scurrying vermin, spreading disease.
The student’s illiterate use of grammar, nonsensical punctuation and mixed metaphors would surely have embarrassed Goebbels. But Hitler’s arch propagandist would just as surely have approved of the spirit of the piece. Not that this was a uniquely awful specimen of the kind of “work” I’ve had to face as first and second marker of a large cohort of students since the horror of October 7th.
A different piece, produced by a student in the same year group, accused its readers, in the foulest language, of complicity with “genocide” and of “sleeping” while the IDF killed innocent civilians for target practice.
The obvious Jew-hatred of these pieces of writing were one thing. But then there were the comments of the first academic who had marked them, which praised the “Jews-as-vermin” piece as a moving indictment of Israeli “colonisation” that displayed a fine philosophical turn of phrase and a carefulness of language. As for the “genocide” piece, my colleague reassured the student that his message was deeply important.
This, in a nutshell, is the problem: not the fact that immature, 20-year-old students have been brought up on a diet of hating the West, hating Jews and unashamedly milking their self-declared victim status, but the fact that this pernicious nonsense is actively encouraged, praised and taught by the academy – and has been for decades. Ever since the late 1960s, higher education in the West has been infiltrated by a steady stream of nefarious actors, who claim victimhood and make allegations of “Islamophobia” on the one hand and spout racist hate speech against Jews on the other. The ultimate bait-and-switch.
The academics in question may not be paid agitators but they nonetheless fall over themselves to support one kind of non-white student (any kind of Muslim) over other kinds of minority non-white student (Jews or Christians from Africa, Israel, or elsewhere in the Middle East), no matter the hypocrisies involved.
I ask myself, for example, how the academic who had praised the diatribes would have responded to a piece of coursework in which Muslims in Britain were depicted as diseased vermin? Would said student have been given a first-class mark, as was the proposed grade here? The answer, for those of you asleep at the back, is no: the student would have been hauled up before an anti-racism panel and referred to Prevent before you could say “parody”.
Yet when I suggested a lower grade for the student in question (based on the woeful quality of the piece, rather than the racist slurs) and commented that the work that was uneducated at best, offensive at worst – which, after all, was my job as their tutor – my feedback was removed by the university lest there be negative public repercussions. As a compromise, a high 2:1 was awarded instead.
In my decades as a lecturer, I’ve often seen the bigotry of low expectations masquerading as positive discrimination, which no one in my line of work seems to care is still unlawful in the UK. But since October 7th, a new low in racist cognitive dissonance seems to have become commonplace.
Teaching people that “Palestine” was originally Muslim until it was colonised by Jews is so wrong, factually and historically as well as morally, that even as a non-Jewish academic, I can no longer keep quiet.

The 70-year-old drug dealer, who was granted anonymity,
Why? Why was he granted anonymity? Come to think of it, why has our degenerate Establishment given up on protecting our people from the social dross they’ve imported?
This makes one wonder if foreigners will eventually, with full backing of the UN refugee agency, be deported for not breaking the law.
So an unelected foreign body, namely the U.N runs the U.K. Glad that’s sorted then.
Smackheads and Turkish barbers are some of the nicest people I’ve ever known.
Remember when we were a sovereign nation?
It is a blindside attack. No population even if they were particularly astute and enlightened could fend off or even anticipate an assault of this kind. This new method of warfare can’t really be defended against. We have been robbed of the tools to fight spiritual warfare. That’s what they ought to say at arrivals at Heathrow – abandon hope all ye who enter here. Unless you are part of the forces of darkness of course, in which case you will have a wail of a time.
The judiciary is not fit for purpose. They are the enemy within.
I regret I see it that way too.
They are interpreting the laws the politicians put in place. Change the law or repeal it and they wouldn’t be able to. The problem starts and ends in Westminster.
Good point. There is an interesting discussion about this, on the latest podcast.
I think that’s too simplistic. Anybody who gets a jail sentence could argue that this denies him his human right to a family life. Further, referring to a Kurdish mobster operating at executive level in his organisation as refugee is totally absurd. Considering this, this verdict is obviously a malicious interpretation of the convention on human rights or rather, a political one: The people behind this are convinced that there ought to be an unlimited right of immigration into welfare states, ie, that deportation is never legitimate. Hence, they ‘find’ accordingly whenever they have an option to do so.
These politicians in disguise must either be purged from the ECHR or any country whose leaders intend to exercise souvereign control over its borders must leave.
The Southport child-killer didn’t cover his face today;
https://x.com/astor_charlie/status/1869426969995293147
And he had the jihadi training manual for up to 3 years. Did the authorities know? I’ll bet any money his parents knew;
“Axel Rudakubana had been in possession of “The Al-Qaeda Training Manual” up to 3 years before the Southport massacre!
Court proceedings today reveal that Rudakubana is being charged with being in possession of the manual between 2021-24
This has dramatic implications: is it that security and counter terrorism services failed to pick up upon Rudakubana’s activities, or did they know but fail to sufficiently intervene?
Either possibility is sickening… This gets worse and worse.”

Is he not being charged with pre meditated murder of three children? This never gets mentioned, he is a child murderer with terrorist sympathies, whole life sentence with absolutely no chance of parole…. Pity we gave up with rope and drop…
Yes, agree. It was actually the judge who decided to put his plea of ‘not guilty’ forward for him today because he refused to speak, apparently. So this trial will be interesting…What on earth do they do in this situation, if the accused decides to play silly buggers and wants to remain non-verbal? I think we can put money on the fact his defense will go the ‘diminished responsibility’ route. There was also the concern that he’d be tried as a child because he was <18yrs when he murdered those girls, attempted to murder ten others, I think.
“Diminished responsibility” is also always nice for the security and wider state apparatus because it both implies that nobody could have foreseen and thus, prevented this and that this was ‘just’ a lone lunatic. Contrast this with so-called
whiteright wing extremists who are invariably always acting according to coldly premediated political plan and who are always part of some shady global internetwhiteright wing extremists network, regardless of how obviously deranged they are.The typical
whiteright wing extremist is a sexually frustrated loner living together with his husbandless mother who has a history of depression etc and usually commits suicide as crowning part of his action. The clinical term for this is extended suicide. But not forwhiteright wing extremists. These are always mentally sane and just evil.Who seeks out Turkish barbers? A very small number I would imagine. It isn’t a particularly sophisticated camoflage but it seems to work. You hear people asking thequestion about why there are fifty Turkish barbers in there small insalubrious city. Well, they might give you a good haircut and beard trim but that is because they are high on the profits from elsewhere. Illegal entries are instructed to go to the nearest Turkish barber you dig.
Just what we would expect from the judiciary and the elites.
Well of course he fucking did.
It’s only indigenous brits have no rights at all, to free speech freedom of association ownership of firearms.
We have the right or rather the obligation to pay for a million and a half freeloaders per year who arrive and rape our kids…
Same profile of attacker and victims, every single time. And I saw a picture elsewhere of the lady he murdered and she was white.
”Algerian asylum seeker Nasen Saadi has been found guilty of the murder of Amie Gray, 34 on Durley Chine Beach, Bournemouth.
He spent a month planning the random murder of the two women.
I’m not aware of a verdict on the attempted murder of Leanne Miles, 38.”

One can only wonder what crime would result in anyone being removed from the UK.
I can only think of one possible ‘crime’ – saying nasty hurty things about 2TK Starmer. Otherwise mass killers, rapists, bank robbers, child molesters – all are VERY welcome in the UK!
Everyone in the world can have “rights” except British citizens We need a class action against the judiciary for breaching our rights
No point Philp protesting: The Treacherous Tories won’t repeal the HRA and leave the ECHR. So he’s just making noises.
Reform, on the other hand …..
