At the University College in London, the Union Of Jewish Students were disturbed by an academic leader defending Hamas. Dr. Azzam Tamimi has described how he desires to be a “martyr against the cancer of Israel.” Tamimi is a scheduled speaker at an event “Palestine: A question of morality,” which is being held at the campus and hosted by the Friends of Palestine Society and City University’s Palsoc.
