Dozens at the University of Leeds step up protests as Zecharia Deutsch continues his role as campus chaplain.
Students at a university in northern England are staging a sit-in to call for the suspension of a Jewish chaplain who has served in the Israeli army during the war on Gaza.
Dozens are occupying part of the Parkinson Building of the University of Leeds, the latest outbreak of action after weeks of protests against Rabbi Zecharia Deutsch.
Deutsch, an Israeli citizen, was called up as a reservist for two months late last year.
The nature of his military participation is unclear but has nevertheless raised ethical questions.
Deutsch’s service was legal, but given the more than 30,000 Palestinians killed in the besieged strip, many are concerned.
