Leeds University’s newspaper Leeds Student has been pulled from shelves by the Students’ Union after it published an antisemitic comment by Palestinian Telegraph owner Sameh Habeeb.
The interviewer asked Mr Habeeb: “Do you believe mainstream media organizations have a hidden agenda?”
He replied: “They are certainly pro-Israeli. I think you have to ask yourself who controls the media.”
A Facebook group protesting against the decision by Leeds Students’ Union to censor the issue has over 700 members, many of whom allude to the fact that one of the Students’ Union officers who took the decision to censor the newspaper, Jak Codd, is Jewish.
