When parliamentarians and some parts of the Jewish community responded angrily to a recent incident at a London university, citing that Jewish students were under attack, they did so without consulting the students involved. They did not ask about the students’ experiences; they made no effort to hear those voices.

When she said that some universities were "no-go zones for Jewish students", Baroness Deech made the same mistake as these individuals. Jewish students need to be allowed to speak for themselves.

Baroness Deech’s well-intended comments rightly draw attention to the worrying rise of anti-Semitism on UK campuses. The Community Security Trust (CST) recorded 27 anti-Semitic incidents - involving students, student bodies or academics - between January and June this year, compared to 11 in the same period in 2015.

High-profile incidents involving Oxford University Labour Club and the election of the NUS President have contributed to this.

However, whilst universities and students’ unions should absolutely be concerned about these figures and work to reduce them, Baroness Deech’s comments are alarmist and frankly, wrong.
