OUSU has rejected a motion to boycott Israel by a margin of seven to one.
The motion, which called on the NUS to boycott Israeli goods and sever ties with their universities, secured just 10 votes in favour.
Eylon Aslan-Levy, the Israeli student who clashed with George Galloway last week, cheered the result.

He said: “Tonight Oxford students showed that their commitment to intellectual freedom is unshakeable.
“In rejecting calls for a boycott against Israel by a seven-to-one margin, we demonstrated resoundingly that we want Oxford to continue to cooperate with Israeli academics, trade with Israeli businesses and – yes – debate with Israeli debating societies.
“I hope that other British universities will follow Oxford’s lead in standing up against divisive attempts to hinder academic cooperation and progress.”
