An anti-Zionist activist -  who was among those who sparked outrage with the "Kaddish for Gaza" demonstration in Parliament Square – led a protest at Jewish Book Week against the appearance of Melanie Phillips and Douglas Murray.

Rob Abrams and three colleagues unveiled a banner on Tuesday evening at JW3 that said: “Say No To Islamophobia”.

They also shouted “solidarity with trans people as well” as they tried to disrupt the event.

The activists, who belong to the Jewish Solidarity Action (JSA) group which was previously known as Jews Against Boris, were eventually escorted out of the hall with audience members shouting: “Just go home”.
