Anti-Israel sit-ins and demonstrations took place last week at some 17 British universities. In addition to inflicting costly criminal property damage and other disruption, reports Melanie Phillips, the protesters–as is now routine–directed their aggression against Jewish students.

Here’s how noxious the environment has become on some campuses.

At Nottingham, one such student said:

The sit-in has created an atmosphere where we do not feel comfortable going into shared buildings on campus.

At King’s, another Jewish student said:

Someone from my course wrote “kill the Jews” on my Facebook profile. Later he said he didn’t know I was Jewish. In public someone said to me, “I think all the Israelis are crazy and so are the f***ing Jews.”

And at Oxford, the JC reports:

One University Reader reportedly told a meeting that “within five years, Oxford will be a Jew-free zone.”
