UK student body officially supports Palestine

A very significant victory in recent days when the NUS (National Union of Students) adopted a strongly worded motion supporting Palestinian rights. In it, the NUS admitted that the situation in Palestine was akin to apartheid, supporting the right of return, an end to the Gaza siege and even pledging to send representatives on the next flotilla! This is a far cry from the heavily pro-Israeli stance of the NUS under Wes Streeting which refused to condemn the massacre on Gaza. The timing couldn't be sweeter coming a week after a huge conference in London bringing together the most stalwart supporters of Israel in the UK. The Israeli press is up in arms about this which is always a good sign. NUS, I salute your courage!
