Controversy followed the event. The Zionists were claiming British law was broken, having used their repressive influence on government to push through bogus criminal laws equating critique of Israel and Zionism with antisemitism. Pressure was evidently applied such that the Oxford Union took down Susan Abulhawa's presentation and censored some of it before re-posting it after a barrage of complaint.
