Jewish Law Student Gets an Official Apology, $1,370 Settlement over Anti-Semitic Bullying Suit

Share this article

Anti-Semitism is alive and well, unfortunately:

York University (UK) law student Zachary Confino will get an apology and 1,000 pounds ($1,370) in payment for the antisemitic harassment and bullying he suffered for more than two years at the school.

Confino said the university “had done very little over two years” after he was called a “Jewish twat” and an “Israeli prick.” He was also subjected to social media taunts including one which said Adolf Hitler “was on to something.”
