A British university rejected a motion to “twin” itself with Hamas’ Islamic University of Gaza. And they did this even though the Jewish-Israel society, which has only 70 members, was unable to actively campaign against the move.
More than 1100 students at the University of Warwick have rejected a plan to twin with the Hamas-backed Islamic University of Gaza.
It is thought to be the first time a twinning motion has been defeated at the union.
[…] Although 878 voters supported the twinning, 1,155 voted against.
Economics student Daniel Schwarz said: “The Islamic Society has around 800 members, Friends of Palestine has around 100 and the Jewish-Israeli Society has only 70.
Good on you, Warwick students.
If “Islamic Society” means students who are Muslim, that means the measure was rejected overwhelmingly by non-Muslims. Maybe Britain isn’t a lost cause after all. There are some who say the British people aren’t as nearly far gone as their politicians, and they (the people) will eventually get fed up with them (the politicians). Hey, sounds like the USA!
