A students’ union leader at a London university that has launched an investigation into antisemitism on its campus has said she would support terror group Hamas in a conflict with Israel.
Islam Alkhatib, a student official at Goldsmiths, University of London, whose role is to “dismantle the barriers between our members”, also recently said she mourned the death of a prominent Palestinian terrorist leader.

Details of the comments by the welfare and liberation officer come after the university called in a senior barrister to investigate anti-Jewish hate at the institution.
Last month, Goldsmiths announced it had set up the probe after a leading Jewish academic was falsely accused of being a “far-right white supremacist” and Jews complained they had been banned from a student meeting that discussed “defending Palestine”.
However, earlier in the same month, Alkhatib posted a social media message lamenting the death of Islamic Jihad leader Khader Adnan, who died after an 86-day hunger strike in an Israeli prison. She wrote: “No words could possibly describe or speak to this loss.”
