The organisation representing nearly 9,000 Jewish students at 70 Jewish societies across the UK and Ireland has launched a network for sixth form students and anyone undertaking an apprenticeship.

UJS is disgusted that senior members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps have been speaking on several campuses across the UK.

These commanders boasted that the Holocaust was ‘fake’, that they trained al-Qaeda terrorists, and urged students to join ‘the beautiful list of soldiers’ who would fight and kill Jews in an apocalyptic war. We are deeply concerned for Jewish student welfare.

This can never be allowed to happen again.

We will seek urgent meetings on behalf of Jewish students with senior university leaders and the Government to ensure Jewish students can be safe on campus, free from this hatred that has no place in our society.
