On Oct 4 last year, he wrote in part of a post on X: “Israel is undeniably a racist apartheid system.”
In another post, from June 8 last year, Dr Younis stated that “our work isn’t done until all Zionists are removed from our institutions and are shamed, alongside all racists, into nothingness”. On May 27, in part of a post, he claimed that “our healthcare institutions have a Zionism problem”.
Dr Younis shared a post from June 9 last year regarding the kidnapping of Israeli hostages by Palestinian terrorist groups, which said: “If you don’t like how occupied people do resistance, don’t do occupation.”
Earlier this year, Dr Younis wrote a report on the psychological impact of Palestinian dispossession, which was submitted in support of the legal bid to lift the UK’s ban on the terror group Hamas.
He was due to speak at an Islamophobia panel at the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), but the session was scrapped after a Jewish student complained.
So someone, finally, blinked.
Caroline Turner, chief executive of UK Lawyers for Israel, which highlighted Dr Younis’s social media history, told The Telegraph: “We are particularly concerned about the conduct of Dr Tarek Younis, which we believe amounts to discrimination, racism and anti-Semitism.
“Over the past year or longer, Dr Younis has published a number of anti-Semitic and highly offensive posts on social media, which include justifying the commission of international crimes and terror attacks against Jews and Israelis, and spreading other racist and discriminatory content.
“The public display of racism and anti-Semitism shown by Dr Younis on his social media page confirms that he has violated a number of UCL’s policies and should be subject to disciplinary action following a thorough investigation into his conduct.”…
A UCL spokesman said: “We have a long-established process for external speaker bookings that helps ensure hundreds of these events can take place at UCL each year, in line with our deep commitment to free speech, while also ensuring the safety and security of all those who attend.
“Whenever we receive a complaint, it is investigated through our normal processes and we will take any action, as is necessary.”
Translation: go away, we're not interested.
Middlesex University was approached for comment.
But couldn't be bothered to reply.
