Dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered in London at the International Institute for Strategic Studies on Monday to protest the visit of Daniel Ayalon, the deputy Israeli foreign minister, to the UK.
Mohammed Sawalha, the head of the Islamic initiative in Britain, said that the sit-ins and protests were organized by the Palestinian forum and Islamic initiative along with the Stop the War Coalition, and aimed at objecting to Ayalon's visit.
He added that the Israeli official was representing a "criminal government" that was involved in "racial cleansing against Palestinians in Jerusalem and in war crimes in Gaza".
Sawalha vowed to follow Ayalon wherever he goes in Britain to protest his presence.

Despite securing a promise by the UK's Foreign Office that he would not be arrested upon arrival there, Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon was not exempt from the rage of pro-Palestinian demonstrators waiting for him both outside and inside a lecture hall in London.
One protestor at the Oxford University hall, where Ayalon spoke Tuesday, waved the Palestinian flag and interrupted Ayalon's lecture for several long minutes, during which he did not stop yelling at the Israeli minister and called him a "racist" and "a war criminal." more
Good for them. May Allah bless all those who stand up for Palestine!
