JN INVESTIGATION:

We reveal @zarahsultana's involvement with the Warwick student Labour club, which denounced the EHRC's antisemitism report, defended last week's intimidation of Israel's "fascist'' envoy and supports the abolition of prisons and police

jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/labour-group-l…
The MP was at an anti-police protest demo in Coventry with student supporters, including Nazifa Zaman, Warwick Labour Society’s comms officer, who is also elected to the national committee of the @nusuk.

When the damning EHRC report into Corbyn’s handling of antisemitism was announced in October 2020 the response from the Warwick University Labour Society was to post the claim:

“Jewish comrades' oppression” had been “exploited for political gain.”

jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/labour-group-l…
Last week, after @TzipiHotovely was forced to rush into a waiting car to avoid protesters outside LSE, @WarwickLabour branded her fascist, accused Israel of "settler colonialism and genocide", and said Starmer's loyalties lie "with a racist violent state.”

.@BoardofDeputies President Marie van der Zyl has accused deputy Raymond Solomon, of attempting to “minimise the racist dimension” of the murder of the black American #GeorgeFloyd after appearing to question his killer’s motive.
