Long History of Hindu Judeophobia

Poor Looser Cries Anti-Semitism

The following story from the Boston Globe is hilarious.

 

He probably networked with all his friends. She probably worked the Oxford University Jewish Society and all the Jewish klatsches, groups and organizations.

 

He won. She accused him of "soliciting votes" and got a lawyer (!).

 

Then -- I suspect --  all the phone calls and emails to the Oxford Club started (especially from Jewish alumni).

 

The club found a violation to disqualify him.

 

All his pissed off friends dis her, and she screams anti-Semitism.

 

There are bigots at Oxford, but they are not the Hindus.

 

Just take a look at the invitation to the Oxford Jewish Society Winter Ball after the article.

 

Will the Oxford University Jewish Society do a minstrel show in black-face for the Spring Festival?

At Oxford club, a less than civil presidential election

By Gregory Katz, Associated Press  |  February 7, 2008

OXFORD, England - Corrupt campaigning practices. Charges of sexual harassment. Racial and gender issues. A presidential election thrown out, the winner disqualified, the loser withdrawn.

One can only hope the race for the White House goes more smoothly than the election of a president for the Oxford Union Society, one of the world's foremost debating clubs.

The 185-year-old society, a jewel in Oxford University's crown, is a bastion of free speech where the elite of Britain and many other countries have cut their debating teeth. The framed photos in the entryway honor luminaries from Queen Elizabeth II and Sir Winston Churchill to Robert Kennedy and Yasser Arafat, who have addressed the Oxford Union.

But its most recent election has degenerated into farce. It started with the November victory of Krishna Omkar, and a prompt challenge from runner-up Charlotte Fischer, who, with the help of a lawyer, managed to convince investigators that Omkar should be disqualified for violating election rules.

"It's a tragedy that this has happened," said Jason Keen, a history student who backed Omkar. "One person wins, one person loses, and the person who loses steps aside. But Charlotte didn't want to step aside."

Omkar's misdeed? An internal tribunal found that he had violated the rules by actively soliciting votes. The tribunal ruled that he should be stripped of the presidency and barred from running again.

Omkar, 23, has proposed a rule change to the Oxford Union that would allow him to stand in a new election expected within weeks; a hearing is set for today.

Omkar's disqualification left Fischer, 20, poised to accede to the presidency. Instead, she resigned from the Union's officers' committee - she had served as librarian - and temporarily left Oxford University to return to her parents' home outside London.

One reason, she said, was a string of vulgar, sexually suggestive text messages sent to her cellphone by other Oxford Union officers. She has not made any formal complaint about these messages and it is not clear who sent them.

Some Oxford Union members say Omkar's disqualification smacked of racism, and his rise and fall have become front-page news in India, his homeland. Meanwhile, supporters of Fischer, who is Jewish, say she has been the victim of anti-Semitism.

The media coverage has hurt the reputation of the Oxford Union, said Emily Partington, the current president of the debating club.

"It's a private club," she said when asked for comment. "It's not relevant to the rest of the world."
