UCL hits out at union branch for ‘inciting violence’

But UCU branch says none of its motions called for violence against citizens

University College London has criticised the institution’s local University and College Union branch for “incitement to violence”, after it passed what the university termed a “series of incoherent and disturbing motions” related to the ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza.

One of the motions, which are listed on the UCU section of the UCL website, states that the union calls for a “Socialist Federation of the Middle East”, adding that there should be “Intifada until victory!”
