Student suspended over Tinder profile picture with sleeping Jewish man

Jess, a Jewish student at the University of Cambridge, first shared the photo on Twitter last Friday, after it was sent to her by a friend."Not necessarily because we thought the boy who took the photo was in any way an anti-Semite, but because we thought it was wrong to instantly conflate this man's religious identity with a political conflict.

Actress Tracey Ann Oberman, who has appeared in EastEnders and New Tricks, expressed her disgust in a tweet which has been liked and re-tweeted hundreds of times.Eastenders and New Tricks actress Tracey Ann Oberman called on the student to apologise and"donate to a Jewish charity of his choice" Its spokesperson told the BBC: "We launched an immediate investigation the moment we were made aware of a screen grab circulating on social media, in which NTU was mentioned in an individual's personal profile.

"A disciplinary panel will now decide on appropriate action. We are proud of our diverse and inclusive community, and do not tolerate any form of hate crime, including anti-Semitism."

“Same level as 1930s nazism” A mass genocide spanning over a decade, leading to the largest world war the world has ever seen, is compared to a (fairly average) tinder joke? Some people really do lack perspective.

Good 👍is he by any chance a Labour supporter activist!! This clowns 🤡 don’t know the meaning of shame

Why

So apparently what’s been done to this picture is akin to Nazi’s and the atrocities they performed 🤔 yeah so photoshop is now the modern day equivalent of auschwitz is it? Come on have a word with yourselves Tryingtohelp

The headline misses the point somewhat. It's not the posing next to a sleeping orthodox jew that is the problem, its digitally adding a Palestinian flag to his mouth that might be considered offensive.

Apparently doctoring a photo to put a Palistinian flag football on a Jewish guy is akin to 1930's era Naziism. Pathetic.

Imagine if it was Muslim with a pic of a suicide bomb in his mouth people would be livid.

If folk take the trouble to read the story, it's a photo shop issue.

I thought tinder was a private thing 🤔🧐🤨

Strange, the BBC make a story from this, photo of man sleeping etc etc. But fail to report on the daily atrocities faced by Palestinians. I haven’t seen the BBC highlight any murders, maiming, kids beaten by soldiers etc etc, wonder why?

haha you gotta love these guys.

Remember, Goyim, they don't have any power.... honest🤞

would Ms oberman be available for comment ?

Dont dare joke about a jew my god.

TracyAnnO constantly conflates Anti-semitism with critisim of the state of Israel 😂😂😂

...why? is it anti semitic to say jewish men sleep?

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen this is normal. Tinder 3 some policies are very clear! all the participant must be awake.

not photoshopped.

No. He was suspend for pointing a *GUN*.

I havent read the article just wonderd did he get suspended because the guy was Jewish and he made reference to this in the picture? Or because he got his photo taken beside a sleeping guy on the train?

'However, another Twitter user commented: 'This is a joke pic, that's all. I'm Jewish and not offended'' Can we stop quoting random anonymous Twitter users like their opinion is relevant?

Again a reason not to have this multicultural nightmare.

Will your Tinder profile picture get you suspended?
