Treatment of Professor Michael Ben-Gad

Tabled by Luke Akehurst (Labour) 7 signatures

The motion

That this House is deeply concerned by the antisemitic and targeted harassment campaign against Michael Ben-Gad, Professor of Economics at City, University of London; condemns any campaign that seeks to intimidate and drive out lecturers because they are Israeli or Jewish; notes that attacks of this nature are particularly distressing to Jewish students and academics, and risk setting a dangerous precedent for academic freedom at UK universities; and stands in support of Professor Ben-Gad, and his personal and intellectual freedom as an Israeli academic in the UK.
