Oxford Academics Call For 'Intifada Until Victory,' Blame Israel For Hamas Terrorism: Report

2023-10-24

[DAILYWIRE] A union for academics at the University of Oxford will hold a vote on declaring solidarity with the "Paleostinian people" and calling for "intifada until victory."

The University and College Union (UCU) scheduled a general meeting of its members for Thursday to vote on a motion related to the Israel-Hamas

war, which began after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 and killed more than 1,400 people. Multiple members have pushed the union to issue a statement blaming Israel for the attack, according to the U.K. outlet The Telegraph.

A draft motion shared with UCU members calls the ongoing war "a direct consequence of decades of ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful oppression of the Paleostinian people by the Israeli state," according to The Telegraph.

"[O]nly a mass uprising on both sides of the green line and across the Middle East can free the Paleostinian people," the motion says. "[I]t is the duty of the international movement of workers and youth to support this struggle," it continues, calling for "a Socialist Federation of the Middle East" and "intifada until victory."

The UCU informed its members about Thursday’s vote on the motion in an email. "The Branch Committee has decided to call this meeting in response to requests from multiple members to discuss and debate solidarity motions relating to the ongoing war in Israel and Paleostine," the email said.

Oxford University condemned the Hamas assault in a statement last week issued after the university faced backlash over its initial response to the terror attack that left out any explicit denunciation of Hamas.
