Rabbi Zecharia Deutsch, a Jewish chaplain at Leeds University, and his family have been forced into hiding due to hundreds of death threats following his service as an IDF reservist. The threats arose after a campaign to remove him from his position, with accusations of 'genocide' by a pro-Hamas mob. University security has been heightened in response to the threats.

Can’t stop thinking about this. I went to Leeds. And loved it. I could never have imagined that fellow students would target a Jewish centre on campus, whatever their politics. What do Jewish students feel like today??? This is intimidating, threatening and deeply upsetting. https://t.co/2PuXUvD1EM
