>Mitchell, who describes himself as a “non-Jewish Zionist”, says the remark came during an argument with Huda El-Jamal, president of the university’s Friends of Palestine Society.
>He claims Ms El-Jamal, who is of Palestinian origin, allegedly called him a “wannabe Jew” and referred to the fact he was not wearing a kippah.
>Mitchell says he responded by saying: “You’re wearing a tea towel over your head.”
Objectively a silly thing to come out with given the furore it was going to cause, but she got back what she gave (arguably less). Can’t say I am hugely surprised a student of that disposition thinks they can say something blatantly anti-Semitic and then report someone for retorting to it

The inherent framing of this story is problematic; it’s all claims by Brodie Mitchell. We don’t have much else to go on.
The Telegraph gave him equally sympathetic coverage. [https://archive.is/mS4fw](https://archive.is/mS4fw)

We should be able to mock items of clothing.
I happen to be quite a fan of Jews, especially Jewish mums, top tier cooking. I also think the kippah looks funny, it’s like a little frisbee.
To be honest most religious headwear is funny in some way.
The article sounds like a playground insult match got out of hand, this sort of thing should not be a police matter.

Guy seems like a cunt but calling a scarf a tea towel is in no way a hate crime. Ridiculous situation all around.
