Almost 40% of students at Russell Group universities view Operation Al-Aqsa Flood as an "understandable act of resistance."

A poll by Stand With Us UK said that the findings come amid an alleged rise in anti-Semitism (conflated with anti-"Israel" sentiment), with efforts to portray all support for Palestine as support for 'terrorism' or a form of 'anti-Semitism.'

The allegations become credible given the significant fact that Stand With Us UK is a pro-"Israel" organization with educational international charity status, and was established to counter the Boycott Divest Sanctions movement. The charity has also been reportedly accused of sharing misinformation.
