The poll, commissioned by the British Union of Jewish Students and conducted by JL Partners, surveyed 1,000 students from 170 UK higher education institutions, with data collected between January 26 and February 4, 2026, and reveals a disturbing pattern of antisemitism among UK students.

Some additional findings showed that, 26% of those sampled indicated that calling for the removal of “Zionists” from campus was not antisemitic and 16% did not believe that claiming that Jews control the media/government was antisemitic. Sixteen percent of students sampled believed that glorifying the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre on southern Israel should fall under free speech protection.

As antisemitism continues to rise, everyone must speak out, stand together, and confront it wherever it appears.

“There always were two ways to live in a world that is often dark and full of tears. We can curse the darkness or we can light a light, and as the Chassidim say, a little light drives out much darkness. May we all help light up the world.”  —Rabbi Jonathan Sacks z”l

Iron Beam, described as 'the most advanced and effective aerial defence system in the world', is expected to be delivered to the IDF later this month, with countries around the world queueing up

to be in the order book (probably including those who have previously called for a boycott of Israeli goods) This extremely effective low cost defence system (less than $5 per interception) is nothing short of incredible. Once again Israel demonstrates to the world what a technological tour de force it really is.
