Oxford Union Votes 278-59 to Declare Israel an 'Apartheid State Responsible for Genocide' Amid Controversial Debate on October 7th
Nov 29, 2024, 06:02 PM
The Oxford Union has officially voted to declare Israel an 'apartheid state responsible for genocide' following a recent debate. The motion passed with a significant majority, receiving 278 votes in favor and 59 against. This decision has sparked considerable controversy, with critics labeling the union's stance as a reflection of anti-Israel sentiment. During the debate, a pro-Hamas speaker controversially described the events of October 7th as 'acts of heroism,' a statement that was supported by the voting members. The Oxford Union's president characterized Israel's military actions as a 'holocaust,' further intensifying the backlash against the union's position. This marks a notable moment in the ongoing discourse surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the role of academic institutions in such debates.
