The double standard here should surprise precisely no one. After all, this took place in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain.
“University embroiled in legal battle after student, 20, suspended for making a ‘tea-towel’ joke about Pro-Palestine activist’s headscarf,” by Matt Strudwick, Daily Mail, March 22, 2026:
A university is embroiled in a legal battle with a student after he was suspended for making a joke about a Pro-Palestine activist’s headscarf.
‘Non-Jewish Zionist’ Brodie Mitchell, 20, was reprimanded by Royal Holloway, University of London, for likening Huda El-Jamal’s keffiyeh scarf to a tea towel.
The second-year student made the barb after Ms El-Jamal, the president of the Friends of Palestine Society, dubbed him a ‘wannabe Jew’ during an ill-tempered ‘spat’ at the university’s Freshers’ Fair last September.
Within 24 hours, Mr Mitchell was handed a nine-week suspension while Royal Holloway conducted an investigation ‘for alleged conduct that could be considered hate speech’.
Surrey Police is investigating Mr Mitchell for the same allegations of hate speech, reports The Telegraph….
Mr Mitchell told a pre-trial hearing last December he reacted when Ms El-Jamal, who is of Palestinian origin, had ‘smirked and pointed at me, saying something like ‘here’s the wannabe Jew” before remarking that he was not wearing a kippah.
‘I began filming the interaction as I realised I didn’t have any witnesses and said ‘You’re wearing a tea towel over your head’, referring to her Yasser Arafat inspired keffiyeh, which I considered at the time to be a fitting off-the-cuff retort to her pre-emptive racist and antisemitic attack on me and reference to her jibe about my lack of kippah,’ Mr Mitchell said in a statement.
He has described his comment as ‘poorly expressed and inappropriate’ in an email to the university but argued ‘it was only about politics, not about race or religion’.
Mr Mitchell says he is prepared to apologise to Ms El-Jamal, who he claims was not interviewed during the university’s probe.
Gemma White KC, representing Royal Holloway, stated in written submissions for a November hearing: ‘The university’s overarching position is that it plainly acted reasonably, proportionately and fairly in responding to the claimant’s conduct in the way that it did.
‘The claimant’s right to free speech did not require it to treat his “tea towel” comment any less seriously than it did.’…

This from DIMMY Spencer!
You REALLY need to concern yourself with YOUR country MR Spencer!
Let US concern ourselves with OURS!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Right, so how is that coming along? Or is the islamization of your country a fait accompli that you’re fine w/?
ploome says
his name is really Jihad Allan
Keys says
J Allan –
Of course the Islamic colonization, and eventual tale over, of Britain is an American concern for many reasons, just one of which is their future control of your nuclear arsenal.
Westman says
And how concerned were you about grooming gangs? Did the UK women sense your great concern for their welfare or was your head so deep in the sand that darkness became normal?
Can anyone in the UK depend upon you or are you the “new” man who only does good for himself?
And of course we are concerned. Only fools would ignore a slow-moving disease running through the homes of our ancestors. We are fortunate to have time to learn from the mistakes of the EU and actual freedom to speak.
L.P.M. de de vette says
Exactly, let U.S. concern themselves with yours
James Lincoln says
J. Allan,
Your posts are consistent with you being a muslim troll.
Days and days go by and you do not post – and then you slither out of the swamp.

Note that J Allan says *nothing* critical of this injustice, and in fact calls Robert Spencer a “DIMMY” (sic) for criticizing dhimmitude.
From all of his postings, I can only assume that J Allan’s way of “concerning” himself with Islam is by surrendering to its brutal dictats. He is *enraged* is anyone actually cares about native Britons.
Taffy says
I learned a new word today: tea towel.
After researching it on the Internet, I would say it’s what we Yanks call a dish towel.
Actually, using “tea towel” was very polite.
I would’ve called her a rag-headed, pedophile Muhammad worshiping Muzzie!
John1 says
Prince Harry called them ‘rag heads.’

Before Meghan infected him w/ wokethink
somehistory says
Dirty dish rag is rather fitting for those who wear the provocative scarf.
“One Flew Over the Coocoo’s Nest” poem has a line, “Out spells out goes he to the old dirty dish rag’s house and back” (I have written part of a book with that title. I keep reminding myself to finish it)
࿗Infidel࿘ says
He should absolutely not apologize unless she does, and maybe not even then! It’d be establishing a moral equivalence b/w them, which there really isn’t
I commend the Emirates for banning its students from studying in Britain. In fact, Mr Mitchell could well explore educational and career opportunities there
somehistory says
Agreed. He should not apologize, no way, no how.
Siddhi Nasrani says
Call me stupid, but I thought when one went to University the idea was to have intellectual discussions with one opponent to increase one’s
reasoning power.
Billy says
The Leftist reasoning is fully compromised to benefit Islam’s Muslims against Israel and all Non-Muslims with Muslim discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism to gain more taxpayer money, more political power, and more government control. Islam’s Muslims create Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Organization with help from Western Governments, Western Bureaucracies, Muslim Homes, Muslim Schools, Islamic Centers, etc. to subjugate Non-Muslims under Islamic Law, Sharia(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15; 98:6-7, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”
Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”
Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day[Non-Muslims]. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid[in Islamic Law], nor believe in the religion of the truth[Islam] among those who have given the book[Jews and Christians] until they pay the jizyah[Extortion Payment] out of hand and they are subdued[disgraced].”
Daniel Jordan says
Sharia law being enforced in the Star Chamber England is gone it’s time America opens its eyes and closes the gates while it is still time coming to a neighborhood near us
OLD GUY says
Daniel you’re right and that neighborhood will go down the drain rapidly with Islamic invasions.
Andrew Knight says
When will the people charged with educating our young start to realise there’s a bigger context here? We are in a war. Muslims have told us their aim, and we need to believe them.
John1 says
Maybe next time say, “Prince Harry called you ragheads.” How would that look in a courtroom?
Joe1 says
I always called them “diaper heads” in reference to what they have for brains.
Anon says
Ridiculous. Double-standard. She targets and approaches him, so he starts filming. She keeps on with these negative anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish insults and takes no responsibility for them. Unprovoked antisemitic anti-Jewish comments are not racist? What is next? I guess you cannot even react. Maybe they will deny an education to non-Muslims next, despite not reacting. Maybe they will make up false charges like with Asia Bibi in Pakistan.
Tim gallagher says
Of course, Muslims have always had this murderous hatred for Jews and for all other non Muslims, but with all sorts of other fucking trendy wankers also coming out of the woodwork with their hatred of Jews it is almost like living in a rerun of 1930s Germany. There are a lot of bent and twisted people around with shit for brains and insane hate for Jews.
Brent Horton says
Apologize for what exactly?

UK: Muslim student insults pro-Israel student, he insults her in response, he is suspended, she is not
…………………………………….
Just appalling–and since when is a refernce to a “tea towel” a suspednable offense?
