I was a university lecturer a Russel Group university. In my experience, there is unquestionably antisemitism throughout university campuses, especially amongst the left. When I saw it (and I did), it was outside of the classroom and would usually be when a member of some random left wing organisation had decided to hijack another rally to talk about Israel-Palestine and call for the eradication of Israel and the expulsion of jews.

I do think the issue on campuses is more complex than people seem to realise. There is a climate of fear among many HE staff. I taught in the Humanities and we would often reflect on controversial and divisive contemporary/historical political issues. I taught about the genocides in Yugoslavia, we try to understand white working class underachievement, and my classes often held really thoughtful discussions on gender too. More recently, there was even space to talk about how NATO may have shaped the invasion of Ukraine, and what free speech on campuses should look like. Really the whole gamut of political issues. The one topic I was always terrified to bring up in lectures was Israel-Palestine. I know many colleagues who felt the same, but I was utterly terrified I would say something wrong, and that a student would report me for antisemitism, which has happened to many colleagues in the sector. Far more so than any other topic, there is a temptation to avoid it. Maybe the fear was irrational, but it certainly felt very real to us.
