Following the publishing of the Chakrabarti Inquiry into antisemitism in the Labour Party, it is evident that the Labour Party have swept the issue of alleged antisemitism within Oxford University Labour Club (OULC) under the carpet.

We welcome the completion of Shami Chakrabarti’s inquiry into antisemitism and all other forms of racism in the Labour Party and look forward to the swift implementation of the recommendations listed.

We welcome the public apology given to Zachary Confino by the York University Students’ Union (YUSU) in light of the shocking antisemitism experienced by Zachary in his time at university.

On Thursday 9th June, UJS hosted our third annual art exhibition, entitled “Reflection – Young Jewish Identities in relation to Israel, through Art and Creative Writing”.  Around 100 community members and students joined us in this celebration of 13 student artists, from 10 campuses throughout the UK, who presented their works.

After the revelations published today by the The Tab, UJS Campaigns Director Russell Langer says:

We welcome the completion of Baroness Royall’s investigation into antisemitism within the Oxford University Labour Club and we look forward to the recommendations listed being implemented as soon as possible.
