Labour opens inquiry into antisemitism allegations at Oxford student club
2016
Overview
A Labour party spokeswoman said the party supported an inquiry announced by Labour Students, the national students' group affiliated to the party. \"Following recent allegations of antisemitic behaviour and intimidation at Oxford University Labour Club, Labour Students have launched an immediate investigation and the Labour party welcomes and supports this action. If complaints are made about any individual member of the Labour party, the party will take robust action to deal with any antisemitic behaviour.\" Louise Ellman, vice-chair of Labour Friends of Israel, said: \"I am deeply disturbed by the news that Oxford University Labour Club has decided to support Israeli Apartheid Week and by the revelations from [Alex Chalmers] about the troubling tone of the discourse in which this debate appears to have been conducted.\" She said comparisons between Israel and apartheid-era South Africa were \"a grotesque smear and the Labour party should dissociate itself from them\". The OULC executive committee said it was launching an investigation and encouraged members to come forward with information. \"We are horrified at and condemn antisemitic behaviour in all its forms,\" it said. \"The comments detailed in JSoc's statement indicate a shocking pattern of hateful and racist behaviour by some club members, and it's of the highest priority that this be dealt with swiftly and lastingly.\"
