UCL due to host Hamas apologist Azzam Tamimi
On 10 November 2017, the UCL Friends of Palestine will host an event with Dr. Azzam Tamimi, a Palestinian academic, in conjunction with student Palestine societies at Westminster, Queen Mary, KCL, City University, and Imperial College. Tamimi will speak alongside anti-Israel activist Miko Peled. Given Tamimi’s public support for Hamas, his use of anti-Semitic tropes, and his endorsement of violent extremism, it is highly disturbing that he is being given an unbalanced platform to spread his views on campus. As it stands, the event does not provide a satisfactory forum for challenging extremism or safeguarding the welfare of students. University authorities should intervene so that the event can take place with an independent moderator, a balanced panel, and university and/ or student union staff present. The event should be postponed if these conditions cannot be met.
