| [IsraelTimes] British PM meets with university heads after warning of antisemitism, with ’students and academic staff being targeted, threatened, and assaulted simply for being Jewish’ About three dozen pro-Paleostinian protesters crawled out of their tents Thursday morning at Cambridge University, grabbed coffee and tea and sat in a circle for the daily briefing. Drink water, display the Paleostinian colors, don’t talk to news hounds, their leader said at the 43-tent encampment beneath the gothic spires of King’s College Chapel. In case of trouble, one group member hovered along the adjacent King’s Parade wearing a neon yellow vest marked "Police Liaison." But after the third night of the encampment, there had been no need for the police despite a small number of counter-demonstrators, according to protesters and local merchants. At most, the group’s chanting on Monday led a few customers to abandon their sidewalk café tables and head indoors, said Beverley Atay, manager of the Copper Kettle across the street. |
