Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi
THE University and College Union (UCU) and the National Union of Students (NUS) condemned Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi today for “threatening” the preservation of democratic freedoms over his comments about Palestinian supporters.
In an interview with the Jewish Chronicle, Mr Zahawi called for students who chant in solidarity with Palestinians to be reported to the police.
He was referring to the slogan “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which is widely used by protesters, incorrectly claiming that the chant supported Hamas.
