HUMAN rights and Israel’s apartheid are not up for debate, students at Cambridge University said today, after dozens rallied against Israeli ambassador to Britain Tzipi Hotovely’s visit to the university. 

More than 100 protesters gathered outside the Cambridge Union on Tuesday to express their condemnation and dismay at the debating society’s decision to platform the “far-right politician.”

Ms Hotovely, who served as settlement minister under former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has previously claimed that the Nakba — the mass expulsion of Palestinians from their homes in 1948 — was an “Arab lie.”
