Yesterday, a group of masked pro-Palestinian protesters from a student collective called "City Action for Palestine" stormed into the lecture hall at City St George's, University of London (formerly City University of London), disrupting an economics class taught by Israeli-Jewish professor Michael Ben-Gad.
Approximately twelve activists, numbering around a dozen, chanted slogans accusing Ben-Gad of being a "war criminal," "terrorist," and "genocidal maniac" due to his past service in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and they demanded his resignation while holding signs and filming the incident.
According to Ben-Gad and reports, one protester allegedly threatened to "slit his throat" or "behead" him, escalating the disruption into what he described as a targeted act of intimidation reminiscent of Nazi-era tactics by Hitler's Brownshirts.
The incident lasted about 10 minutes before the protesters left, and no arrests were immediately reported, though the university has launched an investigation and condemned the behavior as unacceptable.
