'I don't think there's any need to panicmonger. '
I agree because the whole tide is about to change.
This whole situation has arisen due to the culture of victimhood and grievance fostered deliberately by left wing organisations and media outlets which have championed and given voice to the minority over the majority. The left used it as a tactic to pressure the common sense centre of society and their TV news outlets played along and you now can't turn the TV news on without large segments of grievance and victimhood politics disguised as "diversity" and "inclusion", fawned over by the metropolitan news commentators. It has got out of control to the extent that our news organisations now give voice to insulting rubbish about "white privilege" etc and where these grievance activists have been encouraged in their politically correct "inclusive" politics to exclude the majority and to intimidate people from speaking up if they have a different view such as Germaine Greer and Julie Bindel over trans issues or Jewish student societies over Israel, so that we now get these entitled grievance activists demanding safe spaces for themselves so that they can shut out free speech.
"Whether it’s safe space advocates proposing motions to ban free speech societies or equality officers tweeting ‘kill all white men’, the mood on campus has changed dramatically in the past five years."
"In 2011, Bouatti called Birmingham University ‘a Zionist outpost in British higher education’
Jewish students and societies have as much right to advocate for their views as anyone else in society and the use of "Zionist outpost" seems to me to be an attempt to marginalise their views and the word "outpost" seems to indicate that the grievance activists think they have succeeded by the fact that many dissenting voices no longer exist.
The left has sought to challenge the majority and used grievances, political correctness and "inclusion" to do it, but their inclusion has led to the exclusion of the majority culture and to the increasing confidence of some factions in their exclusion of voices they dislike such as people they term "Zionists".
This politically correct "inclusion" politics championed by the left and the media and the metropolitan elite has backfired and is slowly removing the rights and freedoms of the majority and is attempting to marginalise the free speech and views of Jewish students as well as shown in the disgusting situation below
"This year I witnessed a child of mine getting up to speak at a political meeting at a leading university only to see the argument drowned out by hooligan white male students shouting: ‘Zio, Zio, Zio.’

and where we have crap like this
"But after this week’s foul-tempered meeting, during which members endorsed a movement which seeks to dismantle the state of Israel, Chalmers — who is not Jewish — decided that enough was enough.
He resigned from OULC saying that ‘the attitudes of certain members of the club towards certain disadvantaged groups was becoming poisonous’. And he didn’t hold back. He offered plenty of examples.
He accused members of the executive of ‘throwing around the term “Zio” (a term for Jews usually confined to websites run by the Ku Klux Klan) with casual abandon’.
He spoke of ‘senior members of the club expressing their solidarity with Hamas [the terrorist organisation which controls the Palestinian enclave of Gaza] and explicitly defending their tactics of indiscriminately murdering civilians’.
Chalmers cited the example of a former co-chair claiming that ‘most accusations of anti-Semitism are just the Zionists crying wolf’. Most damning of all was his claim that ‘a large proportion of both OULC and the student Left in Oxford more generally have some kind of problem with Jews’.

I think there are some grievance activists who hie their anti-semitism behind what they call "anti Zionism" and I think the left has allowed them to gain confidence because of the left's politically correct inclusion politics which has led to its leadership increasingly losing touch with the common sense majority to such an extent that women can fall into a so-called "inclusive" class of non-men, where Germaine Greer can be marginalised because she is not "inclusive" enough because of her views on transgender issues, and where the left cannot adequately challenge antisemitism and the attack on free speech and ideas because of their wish to be "inclusive".
But the good news is, all this crap is coming to an end. The NUS and the left wing grievance warriors will continue to grow in confidence and the TV news organisations will continue to fawn over them, but the common sense majority are waking up and rejecting these attacks on freedom and the left and their grievance activists are increasingly marginalising themselves from the common sense majority and in the end the metropolitan media will have to drop their grievance activists as politics across Europe, and now in America too, swings towards the common sense right which demands free speech for all groups and views.
