It is yet another nail in the coffin of the much-vaunted claim that it can’t be apartheid because Palestinian citizens of Israel are equal citizens of the country.

Quote: “The university, which has ties to the defence industry, has disciplined more students than most other British campuses”.
Incidentally after Dr Miller’s Employment Appeal Tribunal win and Leigh Day’s legal opinion, I’d have thought KCL would be apologising profusely to the students concerned for the way it had treated them …
