The Oxford Union has a reputation as one of the world’s most prestigious debating societies and is a bastion of free speech.

Jonathan Sacerdoti, a Jewish journalist and Oxford alumnus, was heckled and abused during a speech opposing a student motion branding Israel an ‘apartheid state responsible for genocide’.
Wow! @fancypants_s https://t.co/TP8gUagJLK
