Cambridge University Israel Society Press Statement

25/10/2010
Cambridge Union Israel Society response to the defeat of the debate stating "This House Believes Israel Is A Rogue State". The motion fell by 180 votes cast for and 240 against.

The Cambridge Union rejected the notion that Israel is a rogue state, and with a significant majority.

Unsurprisingly, much of the debate focused on Israel being an exceptional state.

Israel's commitment to political democracy and judicial accountability were frequently highlighted.

At a time where the leaders of the Middle-East are engaging in peace negotiations, it is vital for discussion on university campuses to move away from one-sided biased criticism to constructive dialogue about a peaceful two-state solution, and we are delighted that Cambridge students appreciate this.

Israel Society President
