Pro-Israel group gets £7m from UK government to 'identify' antisemitism (www.middleeasteye.net)

The British government is giving a £7m ($9.33m) funding package to a pro-Israel organisation to deliver antisemitism training in universities.

The Union of Jewish students (UJS) has links with the World Zionist Organisation, which funds illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Under the scheme, the UJS will offer some 600 training sessions to university staff over the coming weeks to help them "identify harassment and hate" and facilitate "open, respectful debate", the Department for Education (DfE) said on Sunday.

Most British universities refer to the IHRA's definition of antisemitism, which has been slammed by opponents as an attempt to impose censorship on valid criticisms of Israel.
