The government's adviser on antisemitism says Jewish students hide their identity and live in fear.
A student at Queen's University Belfast was sent swastikas for being Jewish, the government's independent adviser on antisemitism has said.Queen's said it was not aware of the incident and urged the student involved to contact the university.He said the conflict between Israel and Hamas had led to religious attacks in the UK.
Referring to the Queen's student who was sent swastikas, a symbol associated with Nazism, Lord Mann said: "Why should a young Jewish person, a student here in Belfast, as a response to wearing a Jewish religious symbol around their neck, have more than one person responding with swastikas?" "The university is mindful of our students and colleagues with family and other connections in the region and remains committed to supporting them at this difficult time."Queen's University said the student should contact officials so the matter can be investigated
The territory has been bombed by Israel since the 7 October Hamas attacks in Israel which killed 1,400 people. More than 200 people were taken hostage.
