Students set for NUS split vote

Two UJS members have submitted a motion demanding that the union cut its ties with the national body.

It expresses concerns about Malia Bouattia, NUS president, and highlights her references to Birmingham University as a “Zionist outpost”, “Zionist-led media outlets”, and the “Zionist lobby”.

The motion was submitted by Binyomin Gilbert, a student at Goldsmiths, University of London, and Avrahum Sanger, who attends SOAS.

It cites what they describe as Ms Bouattia’s failure to deal with the concerns of Jewish students, as well as her apparent refusal to allow Jewish students the right to identify antisemitism for themselves.
