Anti-Semitism at Edinburgh?

I've heard of a few cases, but I am really keen to study there. Is this true?

Have you got any links for this?

(FYI I haven't heard of any and I live within 50km of Edinburgh)

Is anti-Israel necessarily anti-Semitic though?

I hadn't heard of The Jewish Chronicle before so no idea how impartial it is but one of the links on the same page shows that the university and scottish government have been involved in this matter so it is getting high level attention.

Whether that helps the Jewish students can only be answered by those students.

Most UK universities are currently fairly pro-Palestine (at least in student politics terms) and many are fairly anti-Israel. Instances of anti-semitism are few and far between though.

I've seen the Rabbi with his stand in George Square before and he looked quite happy and undisturbed by anyone..!
