Liverpool University postpones 7 October Palestine bake sale
Student union takes action over event scheduled for second anniversary of the Hamas attacks
A bake sale for Palestine scheduled for the second anniversary of the 7 October Hamas atrocities has been postponed by The University of Liverpool students’ union following an intervention by Jewish News.
The Liverpool Guild promoted the ‘Palestine Bake Sale’ with a poster that said “Time for Dessert”, organised by @LivGlobalRelief, a Liverpool University charity society together with @uolbakesoc, the university’s baking society.
But a University of Liverpool spokesperson confirmed that “following discussions, the organisers of this proposed event have agreed to move this fundraising activity to an alternative date.
“We work in close partnership with our Guild of Students, the primary representative body for students at the University, to promote an inclusive, respectful and welcoming campus culture and environment. This includes working with hundreds of student societies, representing a wide range of causes, activities and areas of interest for our diverse, global community.”
Several other pro-Palestine student events are due to go ahead on campuses nationwide, as Jewish News has revealed.
