UJS Statement RE: Antisemitism in the Leeds Student Newspaper

Habeeb has recently been exposed as publishing videos of Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke on his website, and has published newspaper articles questioning the Holocaust.

UJS believes that no form of racism should be given a platform on our campuses. With antisemitism a growing issue up and down the country, it is disappointing that Leeds Student did not consider the racist nature of the comments they published. We welcome the swift response of Leeds University Union in suspending distribution of the paper until the offending line had been removed.
