Denmark is providing amnesty for its Muslim fighters returning from Syria

Islamphobia and Eurocentric are the new words now eh?

When will these people ever stop.

'As a point of clarification, it was the student body who voted 60:1 as it is a democratic assembly of students. We are looking as part of our governance review in ways we can wider participation and accessibility for these.'

wut?

Not surprised tbh. The people who hung out at (and ran) the student union tended to be the biggest idiots and doucebags at university (not an easy feat).

From my experience in Student Union meetings I had to attend at my uni, the only people who attended were members of radical student societs like Socialist Workers Party and all the other little Socialist groups as well as radical members of the Islamic society, who would always speak about every motion and find some way to make it about Israel and Palestine, even if it had nothing to do with that.

Student Union meetings are not representative of the student body IMO as they are only attended by radical members of niche groups.



Still, a 60 to 1 vote against the holocaust is very sad.

ALSO, the sabbatical officers leading the union WERE a part of that 60 to 1 vote. It is not like they were removed from the situation and unable to vote, like they are trying to imply.

Contacted the Goldsmiths NUS team about this BS decision-this is their response


hmmm.

The perfect PC response. Still their agenda is clear.

-Refuses to condemn ISIS
-Refuses to recognize the Armenian Genocide
-Refuses to acknowledge Holocaust memorial day
-Affiliated with BDS, Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of all Israeli goods and media, BDS is funded by genocidal organizations Hamas and Hezbollah.

Such a clear agenda. These people have gotten very very clever at defending their hate though.

They hide behind freedom of speech when they parade, carrying placards that say things like 'death to the West' 'behead enemies of Islam' etc. But when anyone tries to criticise them, then they hide behind concoctions like Islamophobia and hate speech, using our own societies neuroses (guilt complex) to fundamentally undermine principles we have defended for centuries.

For instance, this man was sentenced to jail time for burning a Koran after witnessing muslims burning poppies (he was a former soldier):

There is another instance in the UK of a man being sentenced to 9 months for displaying anti-islamic material on the windows of HIS OWN HOUSE. Of course, after inquiring to the CPS as to what was so heinous about this material, and whether it could be released so it could known just what constitutes being offensive enough to get 9 months in prison. The CPS reply was that considering the material had been found offensive in court, it was in the public interest not to release the offending images. That is almost Orwellian. It's saying 'we can put a man in prison for 9 months and not tell anyone why' - we are becoming more intolerant and more arbitrary, and it isn't going to end well.

In Canada someone was also sentenced to 9 months for hating Islam. It's amazing that so soon after finally ridding ourselves of blasphemy laws, we've now brought them back under a different guise, and with the aim of only seriously protecting one group. People are so easily manipulated

Yeah, Freedom of Speech only applies to them and anyone who criticizes them loses that privilege.


This right here is why I don't distinguish between the far left and far right. Britain is censoring and infringing freedoms in the name of "social justice". Like some kind of liberal authoritarianism

wtf

Someone should make an image macro placing a slice of pizza in Putin's left hand instead of that piece of paper

That's the problem with the term 'social justice': it has no tangible meaning or definition and so will always be interpreted arbitrarily by most, consequently allowing people to impress all whatever authoritarian policies they desire under the moniker of 'social justice'

LOL more Goldsmith SU behavior. I'm going to use my contacts in the NUS to go hard at them. It's an absolute joke university student groups are actively encouraging this kind of antisemitic ideology.

One student named T. Walpole, present at the Assembly, objected: “Our union is anti-Zionist.”

They added: “This is a colonialist motion. Vote it down.

“White people should not be proposing motions to condemn genocides without a lot of thought. This does not have that thought.”

Fight the good fight and expose these frauds. Sadly, higher education is very liberal and PC.

**** me

To be a 'white dude' is to have no right to hold opinions or feel sentiment according to this idiot. Good to see kids are getting a good education these days

Liberal PC seems to mean these days that's it's ok to be racist towards all white people and misandrist against all males.
