Pro-Palestine demonstrators are disrupting open days at Cambridge as Britain’s leading Jewish student group calls on universities to do more to tackle “antisemitic hatred” on campuses.

Activists are telling prospective undergraduates and their families they will be “complicit in Israel’s genocide” in Gaza if they apply to Trinity College, which is said to have invested in an Israeli arms company last year.
