JC : Being skunk sprayed, followed and called ‘Zio’ are just par for the course. Last week, I got skunk sprayed outside the entrance to King’s College London.
Read it all here.......I was standing, as I have done more than half a dozen times in the last 16 months, in the middle of a pro-Palestinian demonstration.
The only difference this time was that I had decided to take the chance of engaging with the protestors openly and in good faith, telling them I was writing for the Jewish Chronicle – taking the risk, I thought, that not unintelligent students at a prestigious university might be inclined to return the favour.
I wasn’t doing anything to antagonise the crowd before being blindsided from behind. I was just watching as keffiyeh-clad orators shrieked through a megaphone, accusing Israel, my country of birth, of being guilty of carrying out genocide with intent. Before I clocked what had happened a few seconds later, the perpetrator had run away. I’m absolutely fine, by the way.
