According to the Jewish Chronicle, he Edinburgh University Students’ Association passed the motion to support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement in a 249-153 vote last Thursday, with 22 abstentions.

In response, the historic university's Israel Engagement Society denounced the result as "a vanishingly small mandate for such a controversial motion that will likely marginalize students of Israeli nationality through an academic, cultural and economic boycott."
