Less than 5% of students raised their hands when asked if they’d report Hamas’ October 7th attack to authorities if they had prior knowledge.

No surprise the Oxford Union refused to publish Mosab Hassan Yousef’s speech.

Shame on you, Oxford.

Hamas chose war and they are getting everything they deserve l as a result.
