More from City University (previously), where Jewish lecturer Michael Ben-Gad has had to face down threatening mobs:

Masked thugs allegedly threatened to behead an Israeli professor after storming his lecture at a London university.

Michael Ben-Gad, an economics lecturer at City St George’s, has faced calls to resign because he served in the Israel Defence Forces four decades ago.

But the academic at the School of Policy and Global Affairs has refused to stop teaching, vowing that “no one is going to intimidate me”.

Professor Ben-Gad said one of his lessons on Wednesday was “invaded” by activists, who branded him a “terrorist” for his mandatory service in the IDF between 1982 and 1985,

He denied the claims of terrorism, however, saying that his “only crime” is being a Jew who resided in the Middle East.

Speaking to Sky News, Professor Ben-Gad said: “I finished my lecture and it was invaded by protesters who came right up to my face and called me a war criminal and a Nazi.

“They refused to leave, they were masked. One of them made a threat about having my head chopped off.”

He added: “My main concern is for people who are far more vulnerable than I am and I mean particularly Jewish students who have been targeted all over the country.

“I feel like if I give in to these people… the university has been fantastic, they have been supportive of me from the very start.”

It’s good to hear that the university has been supportive – but if they’re so supportive, shouldn’t they be expelling these violent student thugs? At some point someone has to step up in the face of this grim and deranged hard-left-Islamist alliance. Jew harassment like this surely needs a robust response….
