It Isn't Muslims Getting Assaulted And Shouted Down On Campus
Naomi Firsht writes at Spiked about how campus culture has become hostile to Jews.

Of course, some Jews are welcome -- those who ignore gays getting thrown off buildings in Muslim countries, as Islam commands, and who screech about the horrors of Israel, where you can, say, choose from a variety of gay discos to visit.

Check out how students at University College of London reacted to Hen Mazzig's attempt to speak. As Firsht reports:

Protesters blocked the doors. They banged on the doors and windows. And they brought a sound system. There was banging and chanting. At one point, three or four protesters got in through the window. After 10 minutes inside the room, they left the room with the police. Police are blocking the doors but not stopping the protesters... Everything is louder and louder and I think to myself, I won't be able to speak.'

Hen Mazzig is describing the scene that met him when he came to speak at University College London (UCL) a week ago. The venue for the event had to be changed twice because of aggressive protesters. After the event was brought to an abrupt end, student attendees had to be escorted out by police, and Mazzig was given a 'disguise' by security and told to 'keep running' until he was safely off-campus.

What on Earth could Mazzig have done to spark such outrage?

The group Friends of Al Aqsa, which took part in the protest, posted on its Facebook page before the event: 'Hen served as lieutenant in the Israel Occupation Forces (IOF) for five years. That means he's complicit in the colonisation of Palestinian territory, protection of illegal Israeli settlements, and Israel's illegal occupation.'

Mazzig was indeed an officer in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) - army service is mandatory for Israelis - where he served five years in the humanitarian COGAT unit, acting as an intermediary between IDF soldiers and Palestinian security forces. Today, he spends much of his time travelling around the world sharing his story, speaking with students and others about his time in the IDF and his family history as the son of Jewish refugees from Iraq and Tunisia.

Mazzig was told to run again once the event had finished. 'They [security] gave me a police coat to disguise me and told me to take off my glasses. Protesters were screaming "shame, shame, shame". Some protesters were running after me calling me "murderer" and "war criminal". I was told, "don't look back", and to keep running. We got to the end of a dark alley. Police started saying, "now you are safe because you're off-campus".' As Mazzig points out, he was apparently safer in an alleyway in the middle of London than he was at UCL.

Sadly, this won't surprise the majority of pro-Israel students in the UK. While students' unions demand patronising intellectual Safe Spaces for minority groups, they turn a blind eye to the often ugly singling out of their mostly Jewish pro-Israel students. Pro-Israel students regularly face protests and, sometimes, physical aggression.

A wee comparison: Gay life in Tel Aviv. Gay life in Islamic countries -- per Islam's commands.
