A mob of pro-Palestine activists "threatened to behead" a London university professor after storming into his lecture.
Professor Michael Ben-Gad, an Israeli economics lecturer at City St George's University, has revealed how he was subjected to shouts of "war criminal" and "Nazi" by protesters.

Prof Ben-Gad had undertaken mandatory service in the Israeli military in the early 1980s. But more than 40 years later, has been labelled a "terrorist" and has faced multiple calls for his sacking.
The self-described "unapologetic Israeli patriot" has said he refuses to stop teaching, adding: "No one is going to intimidate me." Following the recent threats, he said: "I can update on the situation as of about an hour ago.
"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," Prof Ben-Gad told Sky News.
"They refused to leave, they were masked. One of them made a threat about having my head chopped off." The protest came despite attempts to bolster his security after the university campus was covered with leaflets branding him a "terrorist".
Last week, a petition calling for Prof Ben-Gad to be fired "immediately" was launched by activist group City Action for Palestine. The group also called for the university, ranked 86th in the country, "to consider such fundamental matter when hiring in the future" and demanded an apology.
It added: "Shame on City for allowing a terrorist to be near and teach Arab and Muslim students despite being an active participant in murdering their people."
