A message from the Provost to all UCL staff and students. portico Dear all, As a consequence of the terrorist attacks by Hamas on Israel and Israel's military response, many people in our community are in pain, grieving over the terrible suffering already inflicted and fearful of what will come next. To my disgust, antisemitic incidents are spiking across the UK, and our campus is not immune. This week we have seen some entirely unacceptable images and graffiti at UCL and posts on social media. I want to send a message in the clearest and strongest possible terms that any instances of antisemitism, Islamophobia and any other form of racism, prejudice, abuse or harassment in our community will be treated with the utmost seriousness. I urge anyone who experiences or witnesses unacceptable behaviour to report it. It is also important for everyone in our community to be fully aware that Hamas is a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK, meaning that expressions of support for Hamas and its activities may be a criminal offence.
