Cambridge Union debate, February 2006
On 16th February the proposition that 'This House believes that Zionism is a danger to the Jewish people' was narrowly carried in a debate at the Cambridge Union. The speeches in favour of the Proposition by Brian Klug, Daphna Baram and Richard Kuper are here. The speakers against were Ned Temko, Daniel Shek (Bicom) and Jeremy Briar.It provoked the most extraordinary response from Melanie Philips both before the event [The Oxbridge sport of Jew-baiting, 14th Feb] and after [The closing of (some) university minds, 20th Feb] and a ferociously misleading report by Emanuele Ottolenghi entitled Jews against Jews in the Jerusalem Post on 22nd Feb which licensed some extraordinarily malicious talkback. Daphna Baram finally got a reply Who really sets Jews against Jews? published in the Jerusalem Post on 1st March.
