I would have thought Iran had quite strict travel restrictions and limited ability go talk in the UK. This is one time I wish we could "no platform" people here. Absolutely disgusting to use the Israeli-Gazan conflict this way and has no place in UK society (in my opinion)

I don't think his hatred of Jews has anything to do with the current war - I think he just hates Jews in general. It is definitely scary that he has an audience in the UK though. Not surprising, but definitely scary.

Surely there are laws to ban hate speech like this?
And targeting students, disgusting.

In Scotland sectarianism is a hate crime, why is this not the same?

I just put it in here because I thought the posters on this board might be interested and didn't know where else to put it!
I think a lot of the more extreme chanting at marches could be exacerbated by this kind of thing.
Ugh. It's horrible.

There is pressure to make the IRGC a proscribed organisation in the UK. The sooner it happens, the better IMO.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound as though this post didn't have a place here, I was just saying that his antisemitism long pre-dates this war. He's quite a despicable character to put it mildly.

This is the kind of rhetoric we've seen on a lot of the marches already though by a very loud minority. It's why it's scary to be openly Jewish even in the UK.

The dopey protester types that join in random sing songs will help this bloke along, he relies on the anything but western support in this country.

Yep student types of the left side love this, makes them feel like they are being anti western

"In one recording - an Instagram Live from Iran in September 2020 which has been viewed about 1,500 times - IRGC commander Hossein Yekta said universities had become "the battlefront" and urged the students listening to become "soft-war officers"."
