Leeds students reportedly post images which appear to glorify terror attack

Leeds students reportedly posted images which appear to glorify a terror attack in Jerusalem, in which six people were murdered.

The posts reportedly feature a Carlo machine gun draped in a keffiyeh and Al-Aqsa Mosque with a giant gun.

A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “The celebration of a brutal attack by a proscribed terrorist organisation is not ‘political expression’ but extremist propaganda and it endangers Jewish people everywhere.

“Our latest polling shows that one in ten young people in Britain now hold a favourable view of Hamas. Posts like this illustrate that statistic and demonstrate that this dangerous extremism is pervasive.

“Leeds must expel the students responsible for this post. Our lawyers are also reviewing this material. Those who glorify antisemitic terrorism in Britain must be held to account.”
