Glasgow University Warns Disciplinary Action Over Posts Praising October 7 Attacks

Leaders say the society must remove messages glorifying violence, with cases pursued under the student conduct code.

Overview

  • University officials demanded the Glasgow University Justice for Palestine society delete an Instagram statement celebrating “the glorious Al‑Aqsa Flood” and repudiate it.
  • Masked participants held a “Glory to our Martyrs” banner in the Gilbert Scott cloisters during an anniversary protest on campus.
  • Administrators said any identified students found to have breached rules will face action, with a spokesman stating the university abhors the glorification of violence.
  • Jewish groups and several politicians urged a full investigation and expulsions, as the Union of Jewish Students launched a Stand Against Terror campaign calling for clearer guidance and tougher enforcement.
