Tory Peer’s Daughter in Tears Over Pro-Palestine Zealots at University Open Day
The daughter of the Shadow Attorney General has been left crying hysterically after pro-Palestine activists hijacked a university open day for prospective students. The Mailhas the details:
Abigail Wolfson and her mother Louise, who are Jewish, attended two presentations thrown into chaos by protesters in face masks and Palestinian “keffiyeh” scarves.
Video footage shows activists brandishing flags and banners and shouting “free Palestine” during the events at the University of Bristol.
Abigail, the daughter of Shadow Attorney General Lord Wolfson of Tredegar, said: “The reception we received on campus can only be described as hostile. I’ve never felt so isolated. For the first time in my life… I wished I wasn’t Jewish.”
There have been reports of Jewish students being abused across Britain, with a 117% rise in antisemitic incidents since Hamas’ attacks on October 7th, 2023. …
The first protest at last month’s open day started four minutes into a presentation about studying history at Bristol.
Abigail told how four activists entered the lecture hall chanting “From the river to the sea” – regarded by many as a call for Israel’s elimination.
They then accused the university of “funding the Zionist war machine”.
Abigail said: “My mother started shouting ‘Shame!’. We felt intimidated, isolated and unsafe. We were both visibly upset, [but]no-one said anything to us.”
The second protest took place minutes later during a presentation about studying politics and international affairs.
Two masked activists unfurled a banner while Louise, a lawyer, again shouted “shame” and implored university security to intervene.
This time, a distressed Abigail left in tears.
“When they [the protesters] finished, the entire auditorium [was] clapping,” she said. “I got up and left. I was just absolutely hysterically crying. The staff at the event asked ‘what’s wrong?’ I felt like saying, ‘how can you not know?’”

Exactly my thoughts. I think anyone who doesn’t desperately need a degree to pursue the career they want (which I think would be most people) is probably better off avoiding university – debt, wasted time, woke bollocks, useless degree.
Good point. As someone once said, the reason none of the surrounding Muslim nations want to accept any Palestinian Muslim refugees is because they remember how the Palestinians twice tried to assassinate the popular King Hussein, in order to destabilize and seize control of prosperous Jordan, and they did manage to completely destroy Lebanon, once a prosperous, stable Christian nation.
The surrounding Muslim nations know that Palestinian Muslims (not Christians) wreak havoc wherever they go. And now the Kneeler wants to bring them here… oh, but only the “children” who need “medical treatment”, says he…
If you’ve got 8mins the girl narrating this video does a very good job of explaining what’s occurring with the Islamification of Britain. It certainly is the importation of an incompatible and hostile ideology which is then being used to indoctrinate kids and subjugate the indigenous citizens, all enabled and made possible by the oikophobes, both in positions of authority and the ‘useful idiots’ on the ground;
”This is just so utterly crazy and ridiculous now. How are the British people silent about this? It’s out and out child abuse. This is proper ethnic cleansing and the silence and inaction is shocking.
How is this even allowed? Enough with the excuses!!!
Britain is absolutely finished. It is a rotting caliphate.”
Sad though I am that Abigail was distressed by the demonstration, this is what happens when there is suppression of legitimate discussion of political issues like this. Haaretz quite quickly after October 7th reported that several regional governments had been warning Netanyahu that there was going to be a Palestinian attack, nothing was done in response to prevent the attack. Subsequently it has emerged that many Israelis were victims of the IDF response and it later emerged that the Hannibal Protocol had been invoked to kill potential hostages. All these issues should have been widely discussed to bring pressure on the usual suspects to prevent them from vetoing actions in the UN Security Council against the Netanyahu government who failed the Israeli people in order to promote ethnic cleansing of Greater Israel and keep Netanyahu from facing his corruption trial.

Consider not going to that university, problem solved.

University used to be a matter of education not a career. The sooner that comes back the better.
I don’t see much prospect of that – I don’t think the current institutions can be saved. We need new ones.
Berlin 1933: “Consider not going to that bakery. Problem solved.” See the problem?
Another random someone coming up with a pointless and inappropriate Nazi reference?
The weirdest thing about all these Gaza Fanatics is that it has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE UK.
Agreed, except it is a warning of what may well come here very soon. It looks to me as if we will become Lebanon within my lifetime.

We in the West got thoroughly sick of seeing that Fat Ugly B’stard Yasser Arafat on the news all the time in days gone by.
They’ll never defeat Israel and they know ir. It’s just frustration
Trying to defeat Israel would also be a lot less harmless than shouting nonsense in the streets in the Uk.

I am sure she learned her anti semitism at home.
?
And the lesson is: Don’t go to Bristol University.
Quite. In fact, according to recent research, Bristol is the third most woke university in the country.

The top two? Oxford and Cambridge. It is notable that 8 of the top 10 are Russell Group universities. This is a disease of the elite in Britain.
